What is a P-class driver's license?
2 Answers
P-class license allows driving trams. The regular family cars commonly seen on the road require either C1 or C2 license, which are not interchangeable with the P-class license. The P-class driver's license must be obtained from driving schools designated by the local urban public transport department, as it is specifically for operating trams. For application procedures, inquiries should be made at the local urban public transport department. Requirements for applying for a P-class license: 1. Age: Applicants must be between 20 and 50 years old; 2. Vision: Uncorrected or corrected visual acuity must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; 3. Color vision: No red-green color blindness; 4. Hearing: Ability to discern the direction of sound with each ear at 50 cm from a tuning fork; 5. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, with at least three fingers functional on each hand, and normal limb and finger movement; 6. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement function, and length discrepancy should not exceed 5 cm; 7. Trunk and neck: No movement dysfunction.
As a local veteran driver who has been driving buses for over a decade, I've been steering the wheel with a P-license across every corner of the city. The P-license is a special driving permit designed for operating public transport vehicles like buses or large coaches. We drivers first need to obtain a regular driver's license before applying specifically for the P-license, typically requiring applicants to be at least 21 years old and pass a physical examination to ensure no major health issues. The application process is somewhat tedious, involving both theoretical tests and practical assessments of bus-driving skills, but once passed, the job becomes stable, and there's a real sense of fulfillment in transporting passengers daily. Additionally, this license requires periodic reviews, such as a medical check-up every two years, to ensure continued physical fitness for driving. Though driving buses can be tiring, witnessing the city's transformation over the years makes it worthwhile, and this job has supported my family for many years.
