At what age is the A2 license downgraded under the new regulations?

[Leo]

According to the regulations, the A2 driver's license is downgraded at the age of 60, applicable to both men and women. Drivers should promptly visit the vehicle management office to exchange for a C1 or C2 license, which permits driving small cars and small automatic transmission vehicles. Drivers are prohibited from operating large or medium-sized buses, trucks, tractors, or rail/trolley buses. By the age of 60, most individuals have entered the elderly stage, and their physical condition cannot compare to that of younger people. Although a small percentage may maintain good physical health at 60, traffic regulations are designed for the majority. After 60, most people experience a decline in physical functions, such as reduced vision or conditions like hypertension and heart disease, making it dangerous to operate commercial vehicles. Therefore, drivers should comply with laws and regulations and promptly downgrade their licenses. The A2 license authorizes the operation of tractors, which can tow heavy or medium-sized full/semi-trailers. Trailers are categorized into two types: full trailers and semi-trailers. A full trailer bears its total weight independently, while a semi-trailer shares part of its weight with the tractor. Only drivers with an A2 license can operate such tractors; even those with an A1 license are not permitted. To downgrade an A2 license, visit the local vehicle management office with your ID card and driver's license. The A2 license will be downgraded to a B1 or B2 license. The A2 license corresponds to tractors, the B1 to medium-sized buses, and the B2 to large trucks. Other vehicle types that an A2 license holder can operate include: B1 (medium-sized buses), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicles), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery). Article 68 of the new traffic regulations states: If a driver holding a license for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks meets any of the following conditions, the vehicle management office shall revoke their highest-level driving qualification and notify the driver to complete the downgrade process within 30 days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle. Failing to undergo inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles. A driver's license, officially known as a motor vehicle driver's license or simply 'license,' is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires specific skills. Without these skills, operating a vehicle recklessly could lead to accidents. Generally, unlicensed individuals are not allowed to drive on roads. For those who have acquired safe driving skills, the permit to drive on roads is the 'driver's license,' which serves as a 'certificate of permission.' The permission to drive is granted through the issuance of a driver's license, indicating that obtaining a license is a formal process requiring authorization by specific authorities. Internationally, a driver's license is defined as 'a document issued by competent authorities permitting the holder to drive a car.' In China, a driver's license is defined as: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal credential issued by administrative authorities to individuals who have learned and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills through training and have passed the required tests, permitting them to operate specific types of motor vehicles.
