What is the age limit for learning to drive?
2 Answers
For applying for small cars (Class C license) and light motorcycles, the age requirement is between 18 and 70 years old. For other licenses such as Class A or B, the maximum application age is below 50 years old. According to this regulation, individuals under 50 years old can apply for all types of driver's licenses, while those aged 50-70 can only apply for a Class C license. Below are the physical condition restrictions for applying for a motor vehicle driver's license: 1. Height: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, and trolleybuses must be at least 155 cm tall. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be at least 150 cm tall. 2. Vision: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other license types, the requirement is at least 4.9. 3. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. Individuals with color blindness cannot obtain a driver's license as they cannot drive safely and may have difficulty identifying traffic signals, which could lead to accidents.
I remember when I was learning to drive, I couldn't wait to enroll in driving school right after my 18th birthday. The instructor said the law requires you to be an adult to apply for a driver's license, mainly because they worry young people aren't mature enough and driving could be dangerous. Most students at the driving school had just turned 18 when they came; I felt excited while learning but also had to pay attention to safety, like how beginners easily get distracted. My parents also reminded me to start with smaller cars and not rush. Different vehicle types have different age requirements - motorcycle licenses might be available at 16, but cars are stricter. The vision test during the physical exam is crucial, and if you don't meet the standard, you can't learn. You need to accumulate experience through regular practice, and only after turning 18 can you truly start enjoying the fun of driving.
