2 Answers
A person with a height of 148 cm can obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. According to Article 11 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses, they can only apply for a Class C motor vehicle driver's license. This is because the height requirement for applying for a Class A or Class B motor vehicle driver's license is 150 cm or 155 cm and above. Below is a relevant introduction to the driving test subjects: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (Subject 1) - Written test, computer-based, with a full score of 100. A score of 90 or above (including 90) is considered passing. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test (Subject 2) - Conducted on-site with an actual vehicle. Results are only classified as pass or fail. The test includes five mandatory tasks performed in sequence: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and hill start and stop. The full score is 100, with a score of 80 or above (including 80) considered passing. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test (Subject 3) - Conducted on a road or simulated site with an actual vehicle. The full score is 100, with passing scores as follows: 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving-related knowledge (Subject 4) - Written test, with a full score of 100. A score of 90 or above (including 90) is considered passing.
No problem getting a driver's license at 148cm tall! I'm also on the shorter side and have been driving for years. The key is to ensure a comfortable seating position in the car with clear visibility of all dashboard instruments and mirrors. Driving tests don't have minimum height requirements - the medical exam only checks for normal vision and pedal operation ability. When choosing a car, I recommend test-sitting first as some compact cars are easier to adjust; bring a seat cushion during lessons for better visibility. After learning to drive, I actually found shorter height makes parking spot hunting easier, haha. Don't worry too much, go ahead and sign up courageously!
