2 Answers
There is no specified limit on the number of times you can fail the license renewal physical examination; you simply need to keep taking it until you pass. Below are the specific details regarding the driving license physical examination requirements: 1. Driver's Physical Examination: According to Article 42 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and Order No. 71 from the Ministry of Public Security, drivers who are required to undergo an annual physical examination will have their driving license revoked if they fail to submit the physical examination certificate within one year after the deadline. 2. Note: In accordance with the physical examination standards specified in Order No. 28 from the Ministry of Public Security under "Physical Conditions for Applying for a Motor Vehicle Driving License," drivers must actively cooperate with physicians during the examination. Motor vehicle drivers can authorize an agent to handle license renewal, replacement, submission of physical condition certificates, extension applications, and cancellation procedures. When applying for motor vehicle driving license services, the agent must submit their identity proof and the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Application Form" or physical condition certificate signed by both the driver and the agent.
Last time I failed the driver's license renewal medical exam due to poor eyesight, which made me panic so I asked an acquaintance. He said there's no limit on retakes if you fail the exam, as long as it's within the validity period of the medical checkup. I got new glasses and passed on my second attempt the following week. My experience shows common issues like high blood pressure or diabetes can also cause failure, but timely medical adjustment can solve these. Government regulations state medical exam results are typically valid for six months, so don't fear failure - the key is meeting health standards. Remember to get a preliminary health check before license renewal to avoid repeated trips and delays.
