When renewing a driver's license after six years, the physical examination mainly includes surgical, internal medicine, and ophthalmology items. The details are as follows: 1. Surgical: Height, weight, etc. Examination of motor function of limbs and trunk. Examination for physical defects. 2. Internal medicine examination items include: Cardiovascular system examination, including blood pressure check and heart auscultation. Nervous system examination. Inquiry about mental illness history, etc. 3. Ophthalmology: Examination of naked eye vision or corrected vision, as well as color blindness or color weakness. The relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" are as follows: 1. Application: If the physical condition of a motor vehicle driver changes and no longer meets the conditions for the type of motor vehicle they are licensed to drive, but meets the conditions for other types of motor vehicles they are permitted to drive, they should apply to the vehicle management office at the place where the driver's license was issued to reduce the permitted driving type within 30 days. When applying, they should fill out an application form and submit the driver's identity proof, motor vehicle driver's license, and a medical certificate issued by a county-level or military medical institution at or above the regimental level. 2. Physical condition: If the physical condition of a motor vehicle driver changes and no longer meets the conditions specified in Article 11, Paragraph 2, or has any of the circumstances specified in Article 12, making them unsuitable for driving a motor vehicle, they should apply to the vehicle management office at the place where the driver's license was issued to cancel the license within 30 days. When applying, they should fill out an application form and submit the driver's identity proof and motor vehicle driver's license.
The physical examination for a driver's license after 6 years mainly checks whether your body is suitable to continue driving. I remember when I went for the examination, the first test was reading the eye chart to check vision. You must clearly see the direction of the E letters, otherwise you fail. There's a color blindness test to avoid misidentifying traffic light colors. For the hearing test, you wear headphones to identify left/right sound sources without deviation. They also check joint mobility and limbs to confirm you can flexibly operate steering wheels and pedals. The whole process is quick, taking about half an hour and costing little. The key is ensuring driving safety - poor vision making it hard to see ahead or color blindness misreading signals could easily cause accidents. Regular checkups help prevent risks since vision may deteriorate unnoticed. If you wear glasses, bring them to test corrected vision - passing means you can continue driving and renew your license smoothly.
