The validity period of driver's license inspection refers to the effective period of the driver's license. For a first-time issued driver's license, the validity period is 6 years. For example, if the initial date of the driver's license is December 5, 2012, with a validity period of 6 years, then the license will expire on December 5, 2018. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspection: Annual inspection for small vehicles, motorcycles, etc.: 1. If involved in a traffic accident causing casualties with equal or greater responsibility without license revocation, the driver must undergo inspection at the local traffic management department within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends. 2. When transferring the driver's license to another location or renewing it upon expiration, inspection must be completed at the local traffic management department. Annual inspection for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles: There are two scenarios for inspection of drivers of large buses, public buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, and tractors: 1. Within 30 days after each scoring cycle ends, the driver must undergo inspection at the local traffic management department. However, if there are no demerit points recorded during the scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is waived. During inspection, the driver must fill out a form to truthfully declare physical conditions, without submitting medical institution certificates. 2. When transferring the driver's license to another location or renewing it upon expiration, inspection must be completed at the local traffic management department, and a physical condition certificate issued by a medical institution must be submitted.
The validity period of the driver's license review is quite important for someone like me who has been driving for half a lifetime. It means that the license holder needs to undergo a medical examination or submit a health status certificate within the specified time frame to keep the license valid. The validity period starts from the date of your last review and ends when the next review is due. For example, I'm 68 this year and need to go once a year, with a validity period of one year. If you fail to do it on time, your license may be suspended, you might not be allowed to drive, and you'll have to go through a lot of procedures to reinstate it, not to mention the fines. This rule is mainly for safety reasons, as older people are at higher risk of slower reactions or declining vision, and regular checks can prevent accidents. I recommend everyone to regularly check the dates on their licenses or download a traffic app for reminders, so you don’t make the same lazy mistake I did when I was younger and almost got into trouble.
