Due to the variety of driver's licenses, the examination subjects for different types are not entirely consistent, so there are different age restrictions for obtaining different types of driver's licenses. Below are the specific details: The age limit for obtaining a C3 driver's license is 18 to 70 years old, and the permitted vehicle types include low-speed trucks and small cars. The age limit for obtaining a C2 driver's license is 18 to 70 years old, and the permitted vehicle types include small automatic transmission cars and vehicles below this license level. The age limit for obtaining a C1 driver's license is 18 to 70 years old, and the permitted vehicle types include small cars and vehicles below this license level. The age limit for obtaining a B2 driver's license is 18 to 60 years old, and the permitted vehicle types include large trucks and vehicles below this license level. The age limit for obtaining a B1 driver's license is 18 to 60 years old, and the permitted vehicle types include medium-sized buses and vehicles below this license level. The age limit for obtaining an A3 driver's license is 18 to 60 years old, and the permitted vehicle types include city buses and vehicles below this license level. The age limit for obtaining an A2 driver's license is 18 to 60 years old, and the permitted vehicle types include tractor trucks and vehicles below this license level. The age limit for obtaining an A1 driver's license is 18 to 60 years old, and the permitted vehicle types include large buses and vehicles below this license level.
I was so excited to sign up at the driving school right after turning 18 last year, feeling that getting a driver's license should be the first thing to do as an adult. The minimum age requirement for ordinary vehicles like sedans and automatic transmission cars is 18 years old, so you can learn to drive at any age. My neighbor Grandpa Zhang, who is 75 years old, even got his driver's license last year. However, seniors over 70 need to pass a 'three-abilities test' at the hospital, which includes basic assessments like memory and reaction tests, before they can register. If you want to drive a bus or a large truck, you must be at least 20 years old, and you're not allowed to drive them after turning 60. The same age limit applies to three-wheeled motorcycles. A reminder to everyone: the driving school registration system is now online, and if you're even one day short of 18, you won't be able to register. It's best to bring a copy of your ID card when making an appointment.
