How often is the large vehicle driver's license reviewed?
2 Answers
Large vehicle driver's licenses are reviewed every two years. Below is the relevant introduction to vehicle annual inspection: 1. Content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records. 2. Related procedures: For vehicles that cannot undergo inspection on schedule due to long-term missions outside the local area, the owner should submit an application, and the local vehicle management office will authorize the vehicle management office at the mission location to conduct the inspection on their behalf. After inspection, the results will be reported to the original vehicle management office. Vehicles that cannot undergo annual inspection on schedule due to special circumstances should apply for an extension in advance with the local vehicle management office.
When I first got into getting a commercial driver's license, I learned that it requires an annual review, which is a mandatory traffic regulation mainly targeting drivers of large trucks and buses. I understand this is because driving such vehicles involves high work intensity, making drivers prone to fatigue or health issues like vision decline or heart disease. Without annual checks, accidents are more likely to happen. For example, a friend of mine who does long-distance driving was once fined for not getting his license reviewed on time. I'd advise new drivers to develop the habit and not wait until the last minute to handle it. Nowadays, the DMV makes the review process quite convenient—just bring your ID, photos, and a health certificate. The whole thing is pretty quick, and you can even pick up some new knowledge while you're at it.
