1 Answers
Article 11 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses' issued in China stipulates that the vision of applicants for a driver's license must meet the following standards: For those applying for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tram driving licenses, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Below are other physical condition requirements for obtaining a driver's license: 1. Height: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses must be at least 155 cm tall. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be at least 150 cm tall. 2. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound with each ear 50 cm away from a tuning fork. Those with hearing impairments who can meet the above conditions with hearing aids may apply for a motor vehicle driving license for small cars or small automatic transmission cars. 3. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement functions. However, those with missing fingertip segments or three intact fingers on the left hand, with complete palms on both hands, may apply for a motor vehicle driving license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled vehicles. 4. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement functions, and the length difference should not exceed 5 cm.
