60 years old. Driver's License: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive without authorization. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have acquired safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is called a "driver's license." This indicates that a driver's license is a form of "permit." Current Status: The current driver's licenses are categorized into 16 types: A1 driver's license, A2 driver's license, A3 driver's license, B1 driver's license, B2 driver's license, C1 driver's license, C2 driver's license, C3 driver's license, C4 driver's license, C5 driver's license, D driver's license, E driver's license, F driver's license, M driver's license, N driver's license, P driver's license.
Speaking of downgrading a B2 driver's license, I've been driving for so many years, often making long-distance deliveries. Now I'm almost 60, and the driving school instructor reminded me that after my 60th birthday, I can no longer drive large vehicles. I need to proactively go to the vehicle management office to downgrade my license to a C1 for small cars. Otherwise, if the traffic police find out, they may fine me or revoke my license. The reason is that as you get older, your reaction time slows down, and driving large vehicles becomes more dangerous. I know a few old buddies who delayed doing this and ended up in accidents. Now, I get regular check-ups to stay healthy and avoid last-minute hassles. The process of changing the license is simple—just bring your ID and old license to fill out a form, and it takes about a week to complete. The key is to really pay attention to your health and not stubbornly insist on driving heavy-duty vehicles.
