2 Answers
There are no specific regulations on how many months pregnant women cannot take the driving test. The following are the specific physical examination items for the driving test: Surgery: (1) Height, weight. (2) Examination of limb, trunk, and neck movement functions. (3) Examination and determination of physical defects. (4) Examination of unequal leg length. Internal Medicine: (1) Cardiovascular system diseases are mainly diagnosed by medical history inquiry, supplemented by blood pressure measurement and heart auscultation. (2) Nervous system diseases are diagnosed by medical history inquiry and nerve reflex examination. (3) Mental disorders are diagnosed by medical history inquiry. Ophthalmology, including naked eye vision, corrected vision examination, and color discrimination. Hearing examination with tuning fork.
In driving schools, it's quite common to see expectant mothers as students, but the most concerning are those who still come to practice driving in their third trimester. With fifteen years of teaching experience, I can responsibly say that the third trimester is really not suitable. Students with their big bellies find the seatbelt uncomfortably tight, the steering wheel pressing against their stomach, and in emergencies, they can't even reach the handbrake. Just the other day, the DMV held a meeting with us, specifically mentioning that scheduling tests for women over 36 weeks pregnant is not recommended, as a large belly affecting seatbelt use is considered dangerous driving. I always advise students in their second trimester to hurry up with their practice, but they must bring a doctor's note and use a lumbar pillow to adjust their sitting posture. Pregnancy is not a time to push one's limits; it's crucial to think one step ahead for the baby's sake.
