I personally experienced the entire physical examination process for obtaining a C1 driver's license. The main items include a vision test, which requires uncorrected visual acuity of at least 4.9 or higher. If you are nearsighted, you must wear glasses for correction. The doctor will use an eye chart to test both eyes to ensure clear visibility of road conditions. The color vision test is also crucial, checking whether you can distinguish colors like traffic lights to avoid color blindness or color weakness issues. The hearing test involves listening to sounds to determine their direction, confirming you can hear sirens. The limb mobility test ensures your hands and feet are intact without defects, capable of operating the steering wheel and pedals. Other possible checks include screening for conditions like epilepsy or heart disease that may affect driving. The physical examination is usually conducted at designated hospitals, and you just need to bring your ID card and a one-inch photo. The whole process is quick, taking about half an hour, so don't worry about it being difficult. The physical exam is the starting point for safe driving—protect your eyes and health in advance to pass in one go and avoid unnecessary hassle.
