What vehicles can a B2 driver's license drive?
2 Answers
B2 driver's license allows driving heavy-duty, medium-duty trucks, or large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles. 1. What are heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks: Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks commonly seen on the road include dump trucks and large cargo trucks, while large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles refer to vehicles equipped with special devices or equipment, such as cranes, concrete mixer trucks, fire trucks, large sprinklers, etc. 2. Points to note: B2 license holders can drive trucks of any tonnage or length. It's important to note that the trucks referred to here must have the cab and cargo compartment on the same chassis. Separated trucks, commonly known as tractor-trailers or "semi-trucks," require an A2 license to drive. 3. Others: In addition, a B2 license also permits driving vehicles allowed by C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and M driver's licenses.
I've been driving transport vehicles for over ten years, and the B2 license is essential for my job. It allows me to operate medium-sized buses, including those 14 to 19-seater commercial vans, which I often use to transport teams to meetings. Small cars like my old buddy Honda CR-V, with no more than 9 seats, are perfect for taking the family out for a spin. There are also small and mini trucks, which are super practical for moving cargo boxes or delivering packages. But you have to be careful—you can't drive large buses with more than 19 seats, or you'll risk fines for violations. Last time I helped a friend move, I almost drove the wrong vehicle, but checking the vehicle registration put my mind at ease. Safety on the road comes first—if the number of seats on the vehicle's nameplate isn't clear, it's best to confirm it at an auto repair shop.
