2020 driving license new regulations include implementing nationwide "one-certificate examination" for small vehicle driving licenses. Applicants can apply for and obtain a small vehicle driving license anywhere in China with just their resident ID card, without needing to submit residence registration certificates, etc. Below are specific details about driving license regulations: 1. Classification: The Ministry of Public Security officially issued the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Business Operation Standards," introducing a graded system for motor vehicle driving licenses. The licenses are divided into 15 categories: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, P. 2. Renewal rules: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period of their driving license, they can renew it for a 10-year validity period; if they maintain this record during the 10-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driving license.
I just looked into the 2020 driver's license regulations because my parents are getting older and want to drive. The biggest change is the removal of the 70-year age limit—previously, people over 70 couldn't take the test, but now they can as long as they pass a medical exam, which is required annually. This makes it much easier for them to travel by car. I also checked that the new rules have lowered the threshold for obtaining a small vehicle license and added recommendations for safe driving courses for seniors to prevent issues for new drivers. I suggest families with elderly members review the medical exam requirements and avoid fatigue driving. The regulations are now more humane, and our whole family thinks it's a great improvement.
I'm quite familiar with the 2020 driver's license regulations. The age limit has been relaxed. Previously, driving had to stop after age 70, but now there's no age limit. However, those over 70 must undergo annual medical checkups to prove physical and mental fitness. This is particularly practical for retirees like my dad who still want to drive for grocery shopping. The new regulations have also simplified the testing process, such as eliminating the need for multiple road tests. It's advisable to check the details on the Ministry of Transport's official website. Don't forget to regularly review safety rules while driving to protect yourself and pedestrians.
