The main items for the physical examination required for driver's license renewal are as follows: 1. Height: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, and trolleybuses must be at least 155 cm tall. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be at least 150 cm tall. 2. Vision: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. 3. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. 4. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from the 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 manual transmission vehicles, the length difference between the lower limbs should not exceed 5 cm. For automatic transmission vehicles, the right lower limb must be intact. 7. Trunk and neck: No movement dysfunction.
I've undergone several medical exams when renewing my driver's license, which generally include these items: Vision test is the primary requirement—whether with naked eyes or wearing glasses, corrected visual acuity must meet the standard, typically above 0.8. Color discrimination test is also crucial, checking if you can distinguish traffic light colors—color blindness disqualifies you. For hearing, the doctor uses whispers or ringing sounds to ensure you can hear traffic noises. Physical mobility involves simple actions like bending, squatting, gripping fists, etc., proving finger and thumb flexibility and normal lower limb movement. If you have hypertension or other chronic conditions, they'll ask brief questions. The entire process is done at designated hospitals—bring your ID card, takes about half an hour, and costs around a hundred yuan. Regular check-ups are beneficial for early detection of health issues.
