2 Answers
18-70 years old: Eligible to obtain C1, C2, C3, and C4 driver's licenses; 18-60 years old: Eligible to obtain D, E, and F class driver's licenses; 24-50 years old: Eligible to take the B2 and A2 driver's license tests. The specific details are as follows: 18-70 years old: Applicants for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, light motorcycles, and other permitted vehicle types must be between 18 and 70 years old. 18-60 years old: Applicants for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery must be between 18 and 60 years old. 24-50 years old: Applicants for tractor vehicle types must be between 24 and 50 years old.
The age limit for obtaining a driver's license depends on the vehicle type. For small car licenses like C1 and C2, you can take the test at 18 years old, making summer after high school graduation the ideal time to enroll. If you want to drive buses or large trucks, you must be at least 20 years old to apply for a Class B license. Motorcycle Class E licenses also start at 18. However, obtaining a Class A license for large passenger vehicles has stricter requirements – you must be 22 or older with three years of driving experience. Interestingly, after turning 70, you must submit annual health reports and can only retain C1, C2, and F licenses. It's recommended that young people take advantage of their quick reflexes to get licensed early, as learning to drive becomes more challenging in middle age.
