How often does a C1 driver's license need to be reviewed for people over 60 years old?

For individuals over 60 years old with a C1 driver's license, there is no need for an annual review. The review is only required when renewing the license. For those aged 70 and above, they must submit a medical condition certificate within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle, not after turning 60. The calculation method for the driver's license scoring cycle is as follows: The cycle starts from the day the driver's license is initially issued, with each cycle lasting 12 months. The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum score of 12 points, calculated from the date of the initial issuance of the motor vehicle driver's license. Based on the severity of the road traffic safety violation, the points deducted for a single violation can be 12, 6, 3, 2, or 1 point.
I'm 65 years old and enjoy driving my car around, with decades of driving experience. According to regulations, drivers aged 60 and above holding a C1 license must undergo an annual review. This means visiting a designated hospital or medical center for a comprehensive physical examination each year, including a vision test to ensure clear visibility of road signs, a hearing check to confirm the ability to hear car horns, and a reaction assessment to prevent dangerous driving. After obtaining the medical certificate, it must be submitted to the vehicle management office for review. Last year, I completed the process on time, and it was straightforward and quick, taking less than an hour. The key is not to delay; if the annual review is overdue, the driver's license may be suspended, and driving on the road could result in penalties. This policy is very considerate, ensuring the safety of elderly drivers and reminding everyone to regularly monitor their health. I recommend friends of the same age to set up phone reminders to avoid forgetting, as the freedom to drive is important.
