What are the requirements for adding a driving license?
2 Answers
The requirements for adding different types of vehicles vary. For upgrading from a C1 to a B1 license, the conditions include holding a C1 license for at least 3 years, being between 21 and 50 years old, having no full-point penalty records in the last 3 scoring cycles before application, and ensuring consistency in information such as ID card, driver's license, and address. Precautions for adding a driving license: During the process of adding a driving license, the vehicle types permitted by the original license can still be driven normally. However, in the following situations, it will be penalized as driving without a license: the original license is still valid, but driving a vehicle beyond the permitted level; driving when the original license has been revoked but the new one has not yet been obtained. New regulations for adding a driving license: Persons who have caused a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility, or those who have driven under the influence of alcohol; persons whose licenses have been revoked, or whose motor vehicle driving licenses have been revoked for less than ten years, are not allowed to add a license. In addition, corresponding physical conditions must be met.
I've upgraded my driver's license before, and the whole process wasn't actually difficult but quite time-consuming. First, there are age requirements. For example, if you want to upgrade from a Class C to a Class B license, you must be at least 20 years old and have held a Class C license for at least one year. Then, the physical examination is crucial—your vision must meet the standards, and you can't have red-green color blindness or other health issues. Both the theoretical and practical exams have to be taken again, with a broader range of questions and stricter field tests. I remember also having to provide a record proving no major traffic accidents. It's best to enroll in a driving school early to arrange lessons, which can help you pass faster. After all, upgrading your license allows you to drive larger vehicles, opening up more opportunities. But always remember, safety comes first—don't rush the process.
