What is the age requirement for applying for a small car?

Small car application age requirement is 18 years old or above. The following are the key requirements for small car application: 1. For applicants over 60 years old: After reaching 60 years of age, drivers must annually submit a physical condition certificate for motor vehicle drivers to either the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority to maintain their motor vehicle driving license. Failure to do so will result in the revocation of the driving license. The physical examination certificate can be easily obtained at hospitals. 2. Physical examination certificate: The motor vehicle driving license only requires submission of a driver's physical examination certificate during license renewal. After reaching 60 years old, drivers must submit this certificate annually. At other times, it's not required. The validity period of the driver's physical examination certificate is six months.

I just got my driver's license not long ago. When I signed up, the instructor mentioned that you must be at least 18 years old to apply for a small car driver's license. Many of my classmates registered right after the college entrance exams. However, there's no strict upper age limit. My grandpa, who's almost 70, is planning to get his license too, though he'll need to pass additional tests on memory and reaction ability. To be honest, older people tend to be more steady when learning to drive, while young drivers can be a bit reckless. During the third driving test, the student group at our driving school had the highest failure rate. Although you can register at 18, I'd advise high school students not to rush. It's better to wait until summer vacation when you have more time—practicing driving during the day and studying at night is the most efficient approach.

I've been working at a driving school for over a decade, with students ranging from just-turned-18 teenagers to people in their sixties and seventies. The law states that you only need to be 18 years old to apply for a C license, and the youngest student I've seen signed up the day after their birthday. However, special attention is required for those over 70—they must first undergo specialized tests at a hospital to assess their reaction ability and memory, and only after passing can they register for the exam. Elderly students progress more slowly in learning to drive, but they drive particularly steadily. There was a retired professor who came to learn driving at 62 and practiced reverse parking more accurately than the young lads. A reminder to everyone: bring your original ID card when registering. If you're underage or overage without the required tests, our system will automatically reject your application.

Last time I took my dad to the driving school for consultation, and specifically asked about the age limit. The staff said 18 years old is the minimum requirement, and my dad, who is 68 this year, can also enroll. However, people of his age need to first go to a designated hospital for three ability tests: judgment, memory, and reaction speed. The test report is valid for six months, and only with this can they officially enroll. The coach specifically mentioned that elderly people are better off choosing an automatic transmission for driving practice, as it's simpler to operate and less likely to cause nervousness. My dad now practices driving three times a week. Our neighbor, Uncle Zhang, who is 72, got his license last year and finds it quite convenient to drive his grandson around. Learning to drive really knows no age limit, as long as one's physical condition allows.
