"Do not tow a trailer during the internship" is a rule familiar to car owners, which is often seen when brushing the questions in the driver's license examination. According to this regulation, owners during the internship period are not allowed to use vehicles to tow trailers on the road.

This makes many owners who have just obtained the semi-trailer driver's license have doubts: the trailer was originally the structure of tractor + semi-trailer bucket. It is not allowed to tow the trailer during the internship. Does it mean that you can only drive the tractor and can't take the semi-trailer bucket?

Now, this doubt has finally been solved.

On April 1, 2022, the latest version of the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's license came into effect. According to Article 76 thereof, the internship period is 12 months after the motor vehicle driver obtains the automobile type of driving permit for the first time or the motorcycle type of driving permit for the first time.

Someone may have asked: does it look the same as the previous regulations? Take it easy and look down.

As we all know, the acquisition of driver's license includes initial application and application for additional driving.

According to regulations, the scope of driver's license applied for for for the first time is urban buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, three wheeled buses, small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, ordinary three wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two wheeled motorcycles, mopeds, wheeled special mechanical vehicles, trolleys and trams; The scope of driver's license applied for increase is large bus, heavy tractor trailer, city bus, medium bus, large truck, small car, small automatic transmission vehicle, low-speed truck, three wheeled vehicle, light tractor trailer, ordinary three wheeled motorcycle, ordinary two wheeled motorcycle, light motorcycle, wheeled special machinery vehicle, trolleybus and tram.

In other words, the B2 driver's license of ordinary trucks can be obtained through the initial application, but the A2 driver's license for driving semi-trailer can only be obtained through the application for additional driving. There are no semi-trailer models in the scope of the initial application.

However, the "application for additional driving" does not belong to the "first time to obtain an automobile quasi driving model", so there is no longer the theory of internship.

In addition, it is easy to understand that if the owner has a B2 driver's license, has experienced a 12-month internship period and has a certain foundation of freight vehicles, there will be no internship period after applying for an additional A2 driver's license. Naturally, he can drive with a trailer on the road.

Of course, if the owner's B2 driver's license is still in the internship stage, it is impossible to apply for additional driving, and naturally you can't tow the trailer on the road.

By the way, at present, the conditions for applying for an A2 driver's license for driving an additional semi-trailer are as follows:

Obtain B1 / B2 driver's license for more than two years and do not score 12 points in two consecutive scoring cycles;

Over 22 years old (over 19 years old for students with full-time driving Vocational Education) and under 60 years old;

All physical conditions meet the application requirements.

In addition, the new regulations have also been changed with regard to the increase of driving B2 in C1. In the past, drivers were required to apply for and obtain relevant qualification certificates from the traffic management department alone to drive from blue cars to yellow cars; Now, when driving B2, you can participate in the professional qualification training organized by the driving school while learning driving skills and pass the review of the traffic management department. When the students successfully get the B2 driving license and completion certificate, they can get the driver's professional qualification certificate with these two items. There is no need for the driver to apply for it alone, which can save some effort.

From the changes of the new regulations, it is not difficult to see the rising demand for A2 driver's license in the transportation industry. If truck owners want to switch to semi-trailer transportation, they'd better submit an application for additional driving first. After all, "sharpening the knife does not miss the woodcutter". In addition, we also recommend a useful and affordable special axle for semi-trailer - Darong axle, which is tailor-made for heavy-duty semi-trailer. It not only has strong load-bearing capacity, but also reduces its self weight by about 15% compared with the traditional axle, with long maintenance cycle and low use cost, so as to help semi-trailer owners save energy and increase efficiency.
