Does an A-class driver's license require annual review every year?

A-class driver's license requires annual review. According to Article 70 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses', A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 driver's licenses must undergo annual inspection within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends. If there are no traffic violations or responsible accidents, the inspection can be exempted. If points have been deducted, the annual review must be completed within 30 days after the annual 12-point reset. The review involves studying traffic regulations, and passing the test means the annual review is completed. Annual review procedure: First, after submitting the review application, an on-site inspection is conducted. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area to check exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis for compliance with standards. All items must pass to proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, the body appearance is inspected, including details like the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation status, and the interior and wheels of passenger vehicles. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all items pass, the owner can pay the inspection fee and receive the vehicle registration and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair them and undergo re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa process.

I've been driving large buses for 30 years and am familiar with the Class A license regulations. The Class A license includes A1 (large buses), A2 (tractors), and A3 (city buses), which don't require mandatory annual inspections. The key factor is your demerit points within the scoring cycle: Each cycle lasts 12 months. If you have no demerit points during this period, you're exempt from inspection when the cycle ends. However, if you have any demerit points, even just 1 point, you must undergo inspection at the vehicle management office within 30 days, including a physical examination and safety training. This system is designed to encourage safe driving among drivers, as operating large vehicles carries significant responsibilities and serious consequences in case of accidents. Many people mistakenly believe they must undergo inspection every year, but in reality, you can skip it if you have no demerit points. I recommend downloading the Traffic Management 12123 app to check your demerit points regularly and develop good driving habits.

With over 20 years of freight transport experience holding an A2 license, I've learned that annual review isn't mandatory every year. If you drive without violations or demerit points, there's no need to worry when the 12-month cycle ends. But like when I got 1 point for speeding once, I immediately had to go for review within 30 days - the medical check and regulation study were quite a hassle. After that, paying attention to speed reduction and fewer violations gave me three consecutive years of exemption, which was much more convenient. This rule is very practical, reminding everyone driving heavy trucks not to rush or drive fatigued - accidents can cost lives. Regular vehicle checks and using navigation speed limit alerts are effective. Don't repeat my younger days' mistake of rushing and causing trouble.

I just obtained my A3 bus driver's license. At first, I was worried about the annual review requirement, but after asking around and checking information, I understood the rules. The license regulation states that if no points are deducted within a 12-month scoring cycle, the review is exempted. However, if points are deducted, a review must be completed within 30 days. As a novice driver, I tend to get nervous and make mistakes easily, such as driving over solid lines or speeding, which result in point deductions and require a visit to the vehicle management office for a physical exam and form filling. My instructor taught me to drive slowly and stay focused to avoid trouble. Now, I use an app to check my status conveniently. Driving a bus with many passengers onboard, safety comes first, and obeying traffic signals is the most reliable approach.
