What are the new regulations for driver's license annual review at the age of 60?
2 Answers
Drivers aged 60-69 are not required to submit physical condition certificates, while those aged 70 and above must submit one annually. Annual review deadlines: Holders of B1 licenses should undergo annual review at the vehicle management office within 30 days before the end of each scoring cycle. If no points are recorded during the scoring cycle, the annual review for that year can be exempted, and so on until the driver's license expires. If less than 12 points are recorded during the scoring cycle, an annual review at the vehicle management office is required. Scoring cycle: B2 driver's license holders must undergo annual driver review, which should be completed within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle at the issuing vehicle management office. However, if there are no accumulated point deduction records during the current scoring cycle, the review for that cycle can be exempted.
I recently looked up the relevant policies specifically, and the main change in the annual review for drivers over 60 is stricter physical examination requirements. According to the regulations, after reaching 60 years old, you must submit a physical examination certificate once a year, which needs to be completed within 30 days after the end of the scoring cycle. This physical examination is not a routine check-up; it must be a specialized driving physical examination conducted at designated hospitals, including basic tests such as vision, color discrimination, and limb mobility. It's important to note that the scoring cycle is calculated as 12 months from the date the driver's license was first issued, not the calendar year or the birthday month. If you forget to submit it, the driver's license will be automatically locked by the system and cannot be used. This regulation is uniformly implemented nationwide, so it's advisable to set a reminder on your phone in advance to avoid delays.
