Is an Annual Inspection Still Required for a Long-Term Valid Driver's License?
1 Answers
A driver's license with long-term validity still requires an annual review, unless the vehicle has no demerit points recorded within a scoring cycle, in which case the review for that cycle can be exempted. Additionally, holders of a long-term C1 driver's license who have not accumulated more than 12 demerit points within a scoring cycle can also be exempted from the review for that cycle. The relevant regulations are as follows: 1. License Renewal: If a driver has not reached 12 demerit points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period of their driver's license, they can renew it for a 10-year validity period. If they again do not reach 12 demerit points in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driver's license. When renewing the driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security authority must conduct an inspection. 2. Inspection: Drivers holding licenses for large buses, trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle for inspection. However, if there are no demerit points recorded within a scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is exempted.
