You can apply for a driver's license at the age of 18. Below are the specific requirements for applying for a driver's license: 1. Small vehicles: To apply for a license to drive small cars, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old. 2. Large vehicles: To apply for a license to drive city buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the applicant must be between 20 and 50 years old. 3. Medium-sized buses: To apply for a license to drive medium-sized buses, the applicant must be between 21 and 50 years old. 4. Tractor-trailers: To apply for a license to drive tractor-trailers, the applicant must be between 22 and 60 years old.
I remember when I took my driver's license test for the first time, I signed up right on my 18th birthday. In China, the minimum age to obtain a regular car driver's license, such as for passenger vehicles, is 18 years old, meaning you must be an adult. This includes common test types like the C1 manual transmission and C2 automatic transmission licenses. Not just me, but all my friends also started learning to drive around this age. Before taking the test, you need to undergo a medical examination to ensure your vision meets the requirements, followed by a theoretical test and a practical driving test. I think it's good to take the test early since younger people tend to learn faster, but don't forget to find a reliable instructor for practice—safety first. Additionally, there might be slight policy variations in some regions, such as more lenient rules in rural areas, but generally, 18 is the starting point.
