What are the health check-up items for a C1 driver's license?
3 Answers
The health check-up items for a C1 driver's license are as follows: 1. Height: The height must be above 150 cm, which is the first step in the driving school physical examination. 2. Vision: The naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. 3. Color discrimination: No red-green color blindness. This is consistent with the vision requirements in the driving school physical examination. 4. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear 50 cm away from a tuning fork. 5. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement functions. 6. Lower limbs: Normal movement function. For applying to drive a manual transmission car, the length difference between the lower limbs must not exceed 5 cm. For applying to drive an automatic transmission car, the right lower limb must be intact. 7. Trunk and neck: No movement dysfunction.
I just went for the C1 driver's license physical exam a couple of days ago. It was quite simple, mainly checking these aspects: The vision test requires at least 4.9, and wearing glasses is fine; the color blindness test uses that little booklet with patterns - as long as you can distinguish traffic light colors, you'll pass; the hearing test involves the doctor moving a tuning fork near your ears for you to indicate the direction; limb mobility checks if you have all fingers and can flex/extend properly; finally, they'll have you rotate your neck and bend your waist - no issues with cervical or lumbar spine means you pass. The whole process takes about 20 minutes, with queuing being the most time-consuming part. I recommend going on a weekday morning when it's less crowded. If you're nearsighted, make sure to wear your glasses, or you'll make a wasted trip.
When renewing your driver's license, you'll undergo several medical checks focusing on four key areas: your eyes must be sharp enough to distinguish traffic light colors; your hearing should be clear in both ears to identify sound sources; your hands and feet need to be agile, especially with no missing thumbs; and your body movements should be normal, including flexible bending and turning. Nowadays, everything is digitized—color blindness tests use patterns displayed on tablets, and vision charts are projected. Remember to bring your ID card and old driver's license, with the medical check costing around 50 yuan. Many community hospitals offer this service, making it much more convenient than the DMV.
