What types of vehicles can an A2 driving license drive?
3 Answers
An A2 driving license allows the holder to drive tractors, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. The approved vehicle types for an A2 license are tractors, which can tow heavy or medium-sized full trailers or semi-trailers. A full trailer refers to a trailer whose total weight is borne by itself, while a semi-trailer refers to a trailer whose total weight is partially borne by the tractor. Whether it is a full trailer or a semi-trailer, only drivers with an A2 license can drive these two types of tractors; drivers with other licenses are not permitted to drive tractors.
I have driven vehicles with an A2 driver's license for many years, and its coverage is quite extensive: you can operate large passenger vehicles like buses to transport passengers; you can also drive tractor units towing semi-trailers or full trailers for cargo transport; medium-sized passenger vehicles such as vans are also included; even ordinary small cars, SUVs, and low-speed trucks are applicable. I have driven various types, with safety as the top priority. When driving large vehicles, be mindful of blind spots due to limited visibility, and remember that braking distances are longer in rainy weather. It is recommended that beginners start with simpler small cars and practice hill starts and reversing skills when preparing for the A2 license test. Regularly check the vehicle's condition to prevent malfunctions, ensuring a more confident driving experience.
After obtaining the A2 driver's license, I found it allows me to drive a wide variety of vehicles: such as heavy-duty trucks for hauling goods, buses for transporting passengers, and everyday cars like small family sedans. I often drive a compact SUV for daily commuting, which is very convenient. When operating a tractor, it's important to pay attention to stability, as it has a large turning radius and is prone to tipping over. With more experience, you'll notice that larger vehicles consume more fuel, and more frequent maintenance ensures safety. Always warm up the engine before driving and don't overlook tire pressure, as these practices help prolong the vehicle's lifespan.
