How Often is a Class A Driver's License Reviewed?
2 Answers
Driver's License Class A requires an annual review. If there are no demerit points within the scoring cycle, the review can be waived. Regulations stipulate that drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks must undergo a review at the traffic management department of the public security authority within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no demerit records within a scoring cycle, the review for that cycle is exempt. Below is an introduction to the vehicle annual inspection requirements: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspected every 6 months; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspected every 6 months; 3. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, inspected once a year; after 15 years, inspected every 6 months; 4. Motorcycles: Inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; after 4 years, inspected once a year; 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspected once a year. Commercial motor vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the prescribed inspection period do not need to undergo repeated safety technical inspections; 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age: Cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first apply for the vehicle's scrapping certificate (canceling the vehicle's file) at the vehicle management office before proceeding with the sale or purchase.
I am a driver of large passenger buses with nearly 30 years of experience, holding a Class A driver's license. According to regulations, I must undergo an annual physical examination and submit the physical condition certificate to the vehicle management office. Failure to complete the annual review on time may result in the suspension or even revocation of the driver's license, which would make retaking the test troublesome. The license renewal is required every 6 years, during which I need to bring materials like ID card and photos for a comprehensive review. I always complete these procedures on time every year. The physical examination can usually be done at community hospitals, costing just a few dozen yuan, checking items like vision, hearing, and blood pressure to ensure I am fit to drive. After all, driving large vehicles comes with great responsibility, and passenger safety is the top priority. I recommend setting a phone reminder to not overlook this matter, as safe driving is a responsibility to both oneself and others.
