2 Answers
No, a 16-year-old cannot obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. Below are the age requirements for applying for a driver's license: Between 18 and 70 years old: Can apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, and light motorcycles. Between 18 and 60 years old: Can apply for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery. Between 20 and 50 years old: Can apply for city buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tramcars.
I've learned quite a bit about traffic regulations. At sixteen, you can't directly obtain a motor vehicle driver's license, such as a C1 or C2 license. According to Chinese regulations, you must be at least eighteen years old to take such tests because driving requires maturity and experience. At sixteen, you can get a motorcycle license, like a D or E license, but not for cars. I think this age restriction is important, as statistics show higher accident rates among young drivers, whose minds and reflexes are still developing. I recommend sixteen-year-olds first take traffic rule theory courses or get a motorcycle license to build a foundation, then start driving practice at eighteen for greater safety. In short, driving concerns everyone's safety, so don't rush to try your hand at it.
