What vehicles can a Class B license drive?

[VanFinley]

A Class B license allows driving the following vehicles: 1. For B1, the permitted vehicle type is medium-sized passenger vehicles (including urban buses with a capacity of 10 to 19 people); 2. For B2, the permitted vehicle types are heavy and medium-duty trucks, such as large trucks carrying construction waste, and large, heavy, or medium-sized specialized operation vehicles, such as water sprinklers, concrete mixers, and fire trucks; 3. Both licenses also permit driving vehicles under Class C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery). A B1 driver's license cannot be directly applied for, but one can apply for an upgrade at their registered residence one year after obtaining a B2 license (provided there is no full-point record in the most recent scoring cycle before application). Alternatively, one can apply for an upgrade after holding a small car driving qualification for more than three years.

I'm a Class B licensed driver with twenty years of experience driving medium-sized buses. A Class B license allows you to operate medium-sized buses, such as those with 9 to 19 seats, like city buses or tourist coaches. You can't drive sedans—that's for Class C licenses—nor can you operate large trucks or motorcycles. I remember my first time on the road; the vehicle was so heavy that I needed extra practice with reversing and turning. Always check the brakes and lights before driving—safety comes first. Avoid speeding or not wearing seat belts to prevent fines and penalty points. If the vehicle is over 6 meters long, be cautious as it might not be suitable. To upgrade to driving larger vehicles, you'll need to obtain a Class A license. Regular maintenance is crucial—change the engine oil on time to avoid breakdowns on the road.

I often teach students with a Class B license how to drive. The Class B license is divided into two categories: B1 and B2. B1 allows you to drive medium-sized buses with 9 to 19 seats, such as school buses or small passenger vehicles. B2 enables you to drive large trucks, specifically those weighing over 5 tons. Before driving, it's essential to learn the rules thoroughly—avoid overloading or speeding. When obtaining the license, you need to start from a Class C license and practice driving skills extensively. Pay attention to checking lights and tire pressure, and slow down in rainy or snowy conditions. Safe driving protects both yourself and others; beginners should learn from experienced drivers. A Class B license does not permit driving family sedans or pickup trucks, so it's important to distinguish the permitted vehicle types to avoid violations.

As a traffic expert, I explain the vehicle types permitted by the B-class license. The B1 license allows driving medium-sized buses (with no more than 19 seats). The B2 license covers large trucks (with a total mass exceeding 5 tons). Remember, the vehicle length must not exceed 6 meters, and the height must not exceed 4 meters. For safety, always wear a seatbelt while driving and avoid fatigue driving. There are conditions for obtaining a B-class license: you must be at least 21 years old or have experience with a C-class license. Upgrading to an A-class license allows driving larger vehicles. Always avoid overloading or violations, as they may result in point deductions and fines.

I'm a seasoned auto mechanic, and drivers with a B license often come to me for repairs on medium-sized buses or trucks. B1 license holders can drive vehicles the size of vans; B2 license holders operate large trucks on the road. When issues arise, first check the lighting and braking systems—don't wait for a breakdown. Pay attention to weight limits while driving to avoid damaging the road. Safety tip: Regularly maintain the engine, changing the oil every three to six months. Drive within speed limits and slow down steadily when turning. A B license doesn't cover driving sedans or motorcycles—doing so may result in fines. During repairs, frequently inspect tire wear to extend their lifespan.
