The latest regulations for driving over the age of 70 are: Those aged 70 and above who hold a driver's license can still drive as long as their physical condition meets the requirements. There is no age limit for driving a C1 vehicle, but once the driver reaches the age of 70, they need to have their driver's license checked annually, and the driver must submit a medical certificate of their physical condition within 30 days after the end of the scoring period. If the medical certificate is not submitted, the driver's license will become invalid the following year. After submitting the medical certificate, if the vehicle management office determines that the driver's physical condition is suitable for continuing to drive, they can continue to drive on the road; if the vehicle management office deems that the driver's physical condition does not permit further driving, the driver's license will be revoked, and the driver will no longer be allowed to drive on the road in the future.

I just turned 70 and learned about the new regulation requiring an annual comprehensive health check for driving, including vision, hearing tests, and reaction ability assessment. There are also memory and judgment tests to ensure mental clarity. If you don’t pass these checks at the DMV, you can’t renew your license. Last year, I tried it—my vision had declined slightly, but the doctor suggested new glasses, and I passed. Now I drive more carefully, avoiding night or long-distance trips, since my reactions are slower at this age. I recommend not waiting until your license is about to expire to get checked—prepare early. Also, the community often holds free driving safety lectures, which I attend regularly to learn how to avoid distracted driving. These rules are a hassle, but when you think about the risk of harming others in an accident, it makes sense. In our family group chat, us seniors remind each other and sometimes go together to the testing center. Safety first—if driving really isn’t suitable anymore, it’s better to let the kids handle transportation. In the end, nothing matters more than staying healthy.
