I remember when I went to get my driver's license, the physical examination was quite comprehensive. The doctor first checked my vision, requiring either naked eye or corrected vision to meet the standard. I passed with my glasses on; otherwise, it would be dangerous not being able to read road signs clearly while driving. Next was the hearing test, listening to sounds of various pitches to confirm I could hear car horns, which is crucial to avoid missing alarms on the road. Then came the color vision test, looking at colored dot patterns to ensure I could correctly distinguish traffic light colors—this is very important. There was also a limb movement check, such as rotating shoulders and gripping the steering wheel, to see if my body was flexible enough for driving. Blood pressure was measured to avoid the risk of sudden fainting. The whole process took about 20 minutes. It's advisable not to stay up late before going and to bring all necessary documents. These checks are all to ensure driving safety.
