2 Answers
Those aged 26 and above can apply to exchange for a large passenger vehicle license. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Concept: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driving license, also known as a "driver's license," which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. 2. Document Usage: A driver's license, abbreviated as a driving permit or driver's license, commonly referred to as a "car license" in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore/Malaysia as a driving license, and in Cantonese as a "license plate," is a document issued by government transportation departments to qualified individuals, typically in the form of a card. Only after completing study, training, and passing examinations can drivers receive a qualified driving certificate issued by the traffic police department of the public security bureau.
I remember dreaming of driving a bus when I was young, only to find out that you have to be at least 24 years old to apply for a Class A driver's license. Why set this age limit? It's mainly for safety reasons—operating large passenger vehicles or tractor-trailers requires drivers to be psychologically mature and capable of handling complex road conditions and emergencies. Being too young often means insufficient experience, which can easily lead to accidents. Besides the age restriction, you also need to pass theoretical exams and practical tests, and meet physical health requirements—poor vision or chronic illnesses would disqualify you. Preparing for the exams is crucial too. It's advisable to gain a few years of experience driving smaller vehicles first, then enroll in training courses to make the process smoother. The entire procedure might take several months, so plan ahead and don't rush into it.
