New Driving License Regulations in August 2021?

According to the traffic management convenience measures issued by the Ministry of Public Security, the new driving license policy in 2021 includes the following regulations: 1. Adjustment of test subjects: The "slope parking and starting" item is canceled for the second subject test of small automatic transmission vehicles. 2. Adjustment of test scheduling time: For obtaining a small automatic transmission vehicle driver's license, the interval between scheduling the third subject test is shortened from 30 days to 20 days after passing the first subject test. 3. Adjustment of cross-regional subject test attempts: For applying for a small vehicle driver's license, the number of times allowed to change the test location is adjusted from once to no more than three times, meeting the needs of the public for cross-regional tests. 4. Optimization of driver's license agency services: The elderly can use the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile APP account of their relatives or friends to have them handle motor vehicle license and driver's license business on their behalf. 5. Facilitating the replacement of driver's licenses for veterans and overseas personnel: Promote the establishment of a driver's license information verification mechanism with relevant military departments to achieve automatic information verification and comparison, avoiding repeated checks, and facilitating employment, work-related driving, and travel for veterans.

I happen to be getting my driver's license this year, and the new regulations from August 2021 are super practical for me. The main change is in the Category 2 test for small automatic transmission vehicles, where the hill start and stop item has been removed. This means I don't have to practice hill starts all day, saving a lot of time and effort. The booking process has also been optimized—I can quickly schedule tests on the mobile app, usually getting it done in just a few days. The new rules also emphasize real-road testing to ensure us new drivers can drive safely. I should remind everyone that these changes make getting a license easier and faster, encouraging young people to learn and drive earlier for commuting or travel convenience. Overall, it's a progressive reform—just don’t forget to practice defensive driving while learning!
