What is a B2 Vehicle? A Comprehensive Guide

“A skilled craftsman, a prosperous life” is a common saying, and Mr. Ba – my kind neighbor – is a living proof of it. Starting as a hired driver in the 90s, when Hanoi’s roads were still rough, Mr. Ba diligently worked with his small truck, transporting construction materials from narrow streets on Lac Long Quan to large projects in Hoai Duc district.

Gradually, thanks to his hard work and skillful driving, Mr. Ba saved up and upgraded his beloved vehicle. From the initial light truck, he now owns a “monster” truck – the kind that requires a B2 driver’s license. Seeing his radiant smile when talking about his “baby,” I became even more admired and curious about this “divine” license. So, what is a B2 vehicle? Let’s find out together!
