[ColtonDella]

There is no maximum age limit for a C1 driver's license. However, individuals aged 70 or older must submit an annual health examination report. As long as they pass the health check, they can continue to drive C1-class motor vehicles. The minimum age requirement for a C-class driver's license is 18 years old. For A and B-class driver's licenses, the maximum age limit is 60 years old. Once reaching 60, holders can no longer drive the vehicle types permitted by A or B-class licenses, and the license must be downgraded based on physical condition. C1 driver's license test items: The C1 driver's license test consists of four parts. The traffic laws and related knowledge test, commonly known as the subject one test; the field driving test, or subject two test; the road driving test, also known as subject three test, which includes 16 driving skills such as vehicle preparation, starting, and straight-line driving; and subject four, which focuses on safe and civilized driving requirements, similar to subject one, is a theoretical test. Different vehicle types have varying maximum age limits: For urban buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the age requirement is between 20 and 50 years old; For medium-sized buses, the age requirement is between 21 and 50 years old; For tractors, the age requirement is between 24 and 50 years old; For large buses, the age requirement is between 26 and 50 years old; For low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, the age requirement is between 18 and 60 years old; For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, or light motorcycles, the age requirement is between 18 and 70 years old.

I remember when I was learning to drive and getting a C1 license, I thought it would last me a lifetime. But later, I found out that in China, after the age of 70, you need to undergo an annual medical examination to continue driving. As long as you are in good health and pass the medical exam proving quick reflexes and good eyesight, you can drive at any age. This is very important because driving involves safety. If you forget the medical exam or are unfit to drive, your license may be revoked. I suggest young drivers learn about this, not just for themselves but also for insurance renewal, as it could cause trouble in case of an accident. In short, 70 is a turning point, but don’t worry—as long as you stay fit, you can drive into old age. The key is safety first.
