Hello, Lawnet would like to answer as follows:

“7. B2 class licenses issued to persons who practice as a driver for controlling following types of cars:
a) Special cars with design loading capacity less than 3.500 kg;

- 9-seat cars including driver seat;

- Theory: 168
- Practice: 420;
Thus, the total training time of the driver training program including theory and practice is 588 hours.
