What type of driver's license is required to drive a 14-seater vehicle?
1 Answers
14-seater vehicles are classified as medium-sized buses, requiring a B1 or A1 driver's license to operate. An A2 license holder can drive a 14-seater pure electric ordinary bus but is not permitted to operate large buses. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," holders of a B2 license have the same passenger vehicle driving privileges as those with a C1 license, both being limited to driving small blue-plate passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including 9 seats). Additional information about driver's licenses includes: 1. Definition: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities to individuals who have legally learned to drive, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the relevant examinations, permitting them to operate certain types of motor vehicles. 2. Classification: For easier management, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Specifications for Motor Vehicle Driver's License Operations" and related regulations, further dividing the previous three license categories—A (large buses), B (large trucks), and C (small cars)—into seven types, while abolishing the Q license.
