Why Do Traffic Police Require a B2 Driver's License to Operate a Forklift?

[AmeliaAnn]

Traffic police require a B2 driver's license to operate a forklift because forklifts are a special type of vehicle, classified under the vehicle types approved for a B2 license. Below is additional information about the B2 driver's license: 1. Vehicle types permitted with a B2 license: According to Annex 1 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China), a B2 license permits the operation of heavy and medium-duty trucks, as well as heavy and medium-duty special-purpose vehicles. Other permitted vehicle types include C1, C2, C3, C4, and M. Forklifts fall under the category of wheeled self-propelled machinery (M), so a B2 license allows the operation of forklifts. 2. Requirements for applying for a B2 license: The applicant must be between 20 and 50 years old, have a height of at least 155 cm, and possess uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of 5.0 or above on the standard vision chart.
