What Does the Driver's License Physical Examination Mainly Check
2 Answers
Driver's license physical examination mainly checks surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and hearing. The following is a detailed introduction to the driver's license physical examination: 1. Examination items: Surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and hearing. Surgery includes height, weight, body movement function examination, physiological defect determination, etc. Internal medicine includes cardiovascular system diseases, nervous system diseases, and mental disorders. Ophthalmology includes naked eye vision, corrected vision examination, etc. 2. Examination standards: Annual physical examination is required. The age must be between 18-70 years old, both eyes' vision must reach 4.9, no red-green color blindness, normal hearing, sound upper limbs, normal lower limb movement function, no motor dysfunction in the trunk and neck, etc.
I remember accompanying my friend to the driver's license medical exam last year, which mainly checked vision, color discrimination, hearing, and limb mobility. The vision test was particularly important, requiring uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 4.9—meaning no severe myopia where you can't even see road signs without glasses. There was also a traffic light recognition test using a device, which is why people with color blindness or weakness can't obtain a driver's license. The doctor also used a tuning fork to test hearing, as drivers need to clearly hear horns and warning sounds. Finally, there were on-the-spot deep squats and walking in a straight line to check for any limb disabilities that might affect pressing the accelerator or brake. The whole process took about half an hour, and only those who met all the key standards could enroll in driving school.
