What Type of Driver's License is Required to Drive a Yellow License Plate Vehicle?

To drive a yellow license plate vehicle, if it is a passenger vehicle, a B2 driver's license is required; if it is a truck, a B1 driver's license is needed. Below is a basic introduction and classification of yellow license plate vehicles: Basic Introduction to Yellow License Plate Vehicles: Yellow license plates are designated for large vehicles, two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles, large buses, and other vehicles used for agricultural purposes. Classification of Vehicles That Can Be Driven: The B license is divided into the medium-sized bus B1 license and the large truck B2 license. The medium-sized bus B1 license allows driving medium-sized passenger vehicles (including urban buses with a capacity of 10 to 19 people) as well as C1, C2, C3, C4, and M vehicle types. The large truck B2 license permits driving heavy and medium-sized cargo trucks and C1, C2, C3, C4 vehicle types.

I've been driving for over twenty years and have seen all kinds of vehicle types. Yellow license plates mainly refer to those large trucks or buses. Driving such vehicles isn't something an ordinary driver's license can handle—you must have a B2 license or higher, like an A license, to legally drive them. A regular C license only allows you to drive small blue-plate vehicles. Driving a yellow-plate vehicle is too risky; the vehicle's weight is substantial, making turns and braking difficult to control. Beginners should absolutely avoid it. I remember a time when a friend casually drove the company's large truck and ended up being fined because his license didn't match. Nowadays, when learning to drive, it's best to directly take the B license course, which includes content on load control and long-distance driving techniques—safety is the top priority. Always check your license type before driving to avoid accidents.

I just got my driver's license not long ago and was curious about how those yellow-plated vehicles on the road are driven. My instructor told me that driving large trucks or long-distance buses requires a special Class B driver's license. For regular cars with blue plates, a Class C license is sufficient, but it's different for large vehicles. During driving lessons, the teacher emphasized the higher difficulty in handling them, requiring systematic training. I plan to enroll in a Class B2 license course this year and learn the legal details in advance to ensure safety. In actual operation, driving large vehicles requires extra attention to blind spots and deceleration. It's recommended to read the manual thoroughly to gain experience, and never drive without a license to avoid unnecessary trouble.

From the perspective of traffic regulations, vehicles with yellow license plates are defined as heavy-duty trucks or large buses, with total mass or dimensions exceeding the standard. Driving such vehicles requires a B2 or higher-level driver's license, and a C-class license is not permitted. These regulations are designed based on safety factors, as large vehicles have longer braking distances and are more prone to losing control, necessitating special skill training. I am familiar with these rules. Beginners should systematically learn the corresponding courses through driving schools to avoid the risks of fines or increased accident likelihood due to unlicensed driving, ensuring safe travel.
