No. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", applicants must meet the following age requirements: Applicants for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, and light motorcycles must be between 18 and 70 years old. The age recorded on the ID card shall prevail, and the applicant must be at least 18 years old to apply for a driver's license that meets the age requirements. The age requirements for applying for a driver's license are as follows: Applicants for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery must be between 18 and 60 years old. Applicants for city buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must be between 20 and 50 years old. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be between 21 and 50 years old. Applicants for tractors must be between 24 and 50 years old. Applicants for large buses must be between 26 and 50 years old. Students receiving full-time driving vocational education who apply for large buses or tractors must be between 20 and 50 years old.

Applicants for other vehicle types must have a naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Those with monocular vision impairment can apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled if their right eye has a naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 and a horizontal field of vision of at least 150 degrees. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Those with hearing impairment who can meet the above requirements with hearing aids can apply for small cars or small automatic transmission cars. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement. Those with missing finger tips or three intact fingers on the left hand and complete palms can apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled vehicles. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement, and the length difference must not exceed 5 cm. Those with a missing or non-functional left lower limb can apply for small automatic transmission cars. Torso and neck: No movement dysfunction. Those with missing or non-functional right or both lower limbs but can sit independently and meet the upper limb requirements can apply for small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled. Those with one missing hand but with an intact thumb and two other fingers on the other hand, normal upper limb and finger movement, and meeting the lower limb requirements can also apply for small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled.

When I took the driver's license test last year, I paid special attention to the age requirement. To apply for a C-class license, you must be at least 18 years old in actual age, not nominal age. For example, if you're nominally 18 this year but your ID card shows you're actually 17, the driving school's registration system will directly reject your application. I remember on the registration day, there was a young guy who brought his household registration and ID card, but he was still half a month short of turning 18, so he could only wait eagerly. However, don't waste this waiting time—you can start preparing by using the Driver's License Test Prep app to memorize all 1,300+ questions for Subject 1. You can also watch instructional videos for Subjects 2 and 3 to learn steering wheel control and gear-shifting techniques. When you actually turn 18 and go to register, you'll be fully prepared, saving both time and retake fees!
