New driving test regulations for August 2021: Relaxation of application age: The age limit for applying for a small car or small automatic transmission car driver's license will be removed. This means that individuals aged 70 and above can apply, provided they meet the physical conditions and pass tests for memory, judgment, and reaction abilities. Reduction in upgrade time intervals: The application age for large passenger vehicles and tractor licenses has been optimized, adjusted from the original 26 and 24 years old to 22 years old. Additionally, for those who have obtained a large truck driver's license and have no full-point penalty records in the corresponding scoring cycle, the upgrade interval for a large passenger vehicle license can be shortened from the original 5 years to 3 years. The upgrade interval for tractor and medium-sized passenger vehicle licenses can be reduced from the original 3 years to 2 years. Medical certification: The required physical condition certification for applying for a driver's license has been expanded to include medical examinations conducted by qualified institutions such as secondary or higher-level hospitals, township health centers, community health service centers, and health examination centers.
Recently, many students have asked me about the new driving test regulations in August. I observed three main adjustments: First, the slope parking and starting test in Subject 2 has been canceled, which is good news for many students stuck on this item. Second, Subject 3 road test has added a simulated ETC lane test, requiring the card retrieval action to be completed within 30 seconds. Third, Subject 3 has added a rainy weather test scenario, requiring correct use of lights and wipers when encountering rain or fog. Additionally, the evaluation criteria have become stricter. For example, exceeding 210 seconds in reverse parking will result in an immediate fail, and roadside parking must be completed in one attempt. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the button positions of the new car models during practice to avoid mistakes in light operations.
