There is no specified number of chances for failing the vision test in the driver's license physical examination. Below is a detailed introduction to the physical examination items for obtaining a driver's license: 1. Surgical examination: (1) Height and weight. (2) Examination of motor functions of limbs, trunk, and neck. (3) Identification of physiological defects. (4) Examination of unequal leg length. 2. Internal examination: (1) Cardiovascular system diseases are mainly assessed through medical history inquiry, supplemented by blood pressure measurement and heart auscultation. (2) Nervous system diseases are assessed through medical history inquiry and nerve reflex examination. (3) Mental disorders are assessed through medical history inquiry. 3. Ophthalmology examination, including uncorrected vision, corrected vision test, and color discrimination ability. 4. Hearing test using a tuning fork.
I remember when I went for my driver's license medical exam before, my vision didn’t pass. The doctor told me I had two chances for re-examination. If I failed the first time, I could schedule another check within a month. If I still didn’t pass the second time, I’d have to wait and see if my vision could be corrected. Personally, I think this is a good policy because driving with poor vision is too dangerous. In my case, my nearsightedness had worsened, and I wasn’t wearing glasses. Later, after getting new glasses, I went back and passed. This taught me the importance of regular vision checks and developing good habits to avoid accidents. Don’t worry, there are plenty of opportunities, but make sure to address the issue promptly and not delay. Safety first is what really matters.
When I first got my driver's license, I also encountered vision issues. Failing the initial medical exam gave me a chance to retest, with a re-examination scheduled about two weeks later. If I still didn't pass, I'd have to consider other options like surgery or special glasses. My friend had to pause his application for six months to let his vision recover after failing twice in a row. Honestly, the number of retest opportunities varies by individual, but it usually doesn't exceed two attempts. I recommend preparing in advance to ensure your glasses prescription is accurate, avoiding last-minute mishaps. The key is to prioritize your health and not create unnecessary stress for yourself.
Veteran drivers remind you that if you fail the vision test, you are generally given one or two remedial chances, depending on local regulations. For example, in my area, if you fail the first time, you get one free recheck within a month. I've seen many people fail the first time because they weren't wearing glasses but passed on the retest. However, failing twice in a row might permanently disqualify you. Remember, meeting the vision standard is the baseline for driving—never take it lightly. If an accident happens, regret will be too late.
