Will Points Deducted from a Small Vehicle License Affect Obtaining a Large Vehicle License?

Points deducted from a car license will not affect obtaining a large vehicle license as long as they are properly handled. Driver's License Introduction: The People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver's License, abbreviated as driver's license, also known as 'driving permit,' is a mandatory certificate for motor vehicle drivers issued in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China. B2 License Eligible Vehicle Types: The B2 license allows the holder to drive heavy and medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, and medium-duty specialized operation vehicles. Heavy and medium-duty trucks are mostly trucks, such as the large dump trucks commonly seen on the road, which belong to the category of heavy trucks. Difference Between A2 and B2 Licenses: The difference between the A2 and B2 licenses is that the A2 license is for tractor-trailers, which consist of a tractor unit and a trailer, while the B2 license is for single-unit cargo trucks.
Last time I went to the DMV to inquire about the additional license regulations, I specifically asked this question. The staff explained it very clearly: Deducting points on a car license does affect the eligibility for upgrading to a truck license, and the key lies in the timing and record of the points deduction. If you have a record of accumulating 12 points in any of the three consecutive scoring cycles before applying for a truck license, you will be directly disqualified. My cousin learned this the hard way—he often got speeding tickets while driving his car, and as a result, his application for a Class B license was denied the following year. However, deductions of 6 or 9 points aren’t a big deal as long as you don’t max out the points, which won’t leave a blemish on your record. Safety is no trivial matter—this regulation serves as a reminder for us to cultivate safe driving habits over the long term, as last-minute efforts won’t help. After all, driving a heavy truck comes with greater responsibility, so the traffic authorities naturally impose stricter requirements on driver qualifications.
