What is the Driver's License Oath?
2 Answers
The oath is to consciously abide by traffic laws and regulations, strictly adhere to driving operation procedures, obey the management and command of traffic police, drive cautiously, drive civilizedly, and actively maintain an orderly, safe, and smooth road traffic environment. The following is a specific introduction to the driver's license: 1. Classification: The Ministry of Public Security officially issued the "Regulations on the Work of Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business," which introduced a motor vehicle driver's license grading system, dividing the license into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. 2. Content: The motor vehicle driver's license records the holder's ID number, name, gender, date of birth, long-term address, nationality, permitted (learning) vehicle model code, initial license issuance date, validity period, and management records, along with the issuing authority's seal, file number, and the holder's photo. The design of the motor vehicle driver's license is specified by the Ministry of Public Security.
As a novice who just got my driver's license, I vividly remember the oath-taking ceremony. The pledge was 'I swear to abide by traffic laws and drive safely and civilly; yield to pedestrians and avoid accidents; cherish life and ensure safety.' That moment felt particularly solemn and exciting, gripping the steering wheel as if taking on new responsibilities. I remind myself to recall this commitment before every drive, such as paying attention to yielding at crosswalks during urban commutes—it helps me develop good habits from the start. The oath isn't just a formality but a sign of respect for oneself and others. Practicing more on low-speed roads during the novice period can better cultivate this sense of responsibility, as safe driving concerns every household.
