1 Answers
To better align with actual driving needs, multiple reforms will be implemented in the driver's license test starting from June 1, 2021. The specific reform measures are as follows: 1. Relaxation of age restrictions for the driver's license test: The upper age limit of 70 years for applying for a small car or small automatic transmission car driver's license will be abolished. Applicants aged 70 and above will undergo tests for memory, judgment, and reaction abilities. With the implementation of the new regulations, even those aged 70 and above can fulfill their driving dreams as long as they meet the conditions. 2. Optimization of age and time requirements for additional license categories: The lower age limit for applying for large bus and tractor driver's licenses will be adjusted from 26 and 24 years to 22 years. The upper age limit for applying for large and medium-sized passenger and truck driver's licenses will be adjusted from 50 to 60 years. Additionally, for those who have obtained a large truck driver's license and have no full-point demerit records in the corresponding scoring cycle, the time interval for applying for a large bus driver's license can be shortened from the original 5 years to 3 years. For those applying for additional tractor or medium-sized bus driver's licenses, the time interval can be shortened from the original 3 years to 2 years. 3. Expansion of the range of medical examination institutions: The medical examination certificate required for applying for a driver's license, which was originally limited to county-level or military regiment-level medical institutions, will now be expanded to include secondary-level hospitals, township health centers, community health service centers, and health examination centers that meet the health examination qualifications.
