How Many New Regulations Are There in the August 2021 Driving Test Update?

[Coleman]

The August 2021 driving test update includes 8 new regulations. The 2021 driving test changes are as follows: 1. Exam Subject Adjustments: For small automatic transmission vehicles, the "slope parking and starting" item in the second subject test has been removed, reducing the test content from 5 items to 4. This change aligns with practical driving requirements and reduces the burden on test-takers. 2. Exam Scheduling Adjustments: For those obtaining a small automatic transmission vehicle license, the interval between passing the second subject test and scheduling the third subject test has been shortened from 30 days to 20 days. For those upgrading to large or medium-sized passenger or truck licenses, the interval after passing the first subject test has been reduced from 40 days to 30 days. 3. Adjustments to Cross-Regional Subject Test Attempts: Applicants for small vehicle licenses can now request to change their test location up to 3 times (previously 1), meeting the demand for cross-regional testing. 4. Optimized Proxy Services: Elderly individuals can now use the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app accounts of relatives or friends to handle vehicle license and driving license matters. Additionally, service windows offer green channels or dedicated counters for the elderly, providing free proxy services. 5. Convenience for Veterans in License Exchange: A mechanism for inter-departmental verification of driving license information with military authorities has been established, enabling automatic verification and comparison to avoid redundant checks, thus facilitating employment, work, and travel for veterans. 6. Convenience for Overseas Individuals in License Renewal Delays: Those unable to return due to COVID-19 can delegate someone in China to apply for a delayed renewal or review of their driving license. If licenses were canceled due to untimely renewal or review before the end of 2021, individuals can complete the renewal or review within 6 months of returning to restore their driving eligibility. 7. Reduction in Proxy Documentation: Applicants unable to handle license replacement or renewal can authorize others via the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app without needing a paper proxy authorization.
