What is the difference between driving experience and vehicle age?
1 Answers
Driving experience refers to the number of years a person has been driving, while vehicle age refers to the number of years a vehicle has been in use. Relevant information about driving experience is as follows: 1. Definition: Driving experience is the number of years since a motor vehicle driver obtained their driving qualification, calculated from the date the driver obtained their driving qualification. If a driver obtains different driving qualifications by adding permitted vehicle types (additional driving qualifications), each qualification has its own separate driving experience, which should not be confused. 2. Calculation method: According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), if a driving license is revoked due to failure to renew it on time or failure to submit a medical examination certificate for no more than two years, the driver can restore their driving qualification by passing the subject one exam (road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test). After restoring the driving qualification, the original permitted vehicle types of the driving license are retained, and the driver's original driving experience is calculated continuously. If the driving license is revoked due to failure to renew it on time or submit a medical examination certificate for more than two years, or if the driving license is revoked due to the driving license being legally revoked or the driving permit being legally canceled, the driver needs to reapply for a motor vehicle driving license from the vehicle management office of the public security traffic management department, and the driving experience is recalculated as for the first-time application.
