What is the maximum age for holding a C1 driver's license?
2 Answers
There is no maximum age limit for a C1 driver's license. However, individuals aged 70 and above 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 Class C driver's license is 18 years old. For Class A and B driver's licenses, the maximum age limit is 60 years old. Upon reaching 60, holders can no longer drive vehicles permitted under Class A or B licenses, and their licenses will be downgraded based on their physical condition. C1 driver's license examination items: The C1 driver's license examination consists of four parts. The first is the traffic regulations and related knowledge test, commonly known as the Subject 1 exam. The second is the field driving test, or Subject 2 exam. The third is the road driving test, also known as the Subject 3 exam, which includes 16 driving skills such as preparation before driving, starting, and straight-line driving. The fourth is the Subject 4 exam, focusing on safe and civilized driving requirements, similar to Subject 1, both being theoretical exams. Different types of driver's licenses 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 tow trucks, 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 cars, 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 cars for the disabled, or light motorcycles, the minimum age requirement is 18 years old. Requirements for applying for a C1 driver's license: Age requirement: Must be at least 18 years old. Physical requirements: Vision: Both eyes must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For those with monocular vision impairment, the better eye must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, with a horizontal field of vision of at least 150 degrees, to apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission cars for the disabled. Color vision: Must not have red-green color blindness. Hearing: Must be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at 50 cm from a tuning fork. Those with hearing impairments who can meet the above conditions with hearing aids may apply for small cars or small automatic transmission cars. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, with at least three other fingers on each hand intact, and normal limb and finger movement. Those with missing finger tips or three intact fingers on the left hand and complete palms may apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled cars. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement, with a length difference of no more than 5 cm. Those missing the left lower limb or with impaired movement may apply for small automatic transmission cars. Torso and neck: No movement disorders. Those missing the right lower limb or both lower limbs but can sit independently and meet the upper limb requirements may apply for small automatic transmission cars for the disabled. Those missing one hand with the other thumb intact and two other fingers intact, with normal upper limb and finger movement, and meeting the lower limb requirements may also apply for small automatic transmission cars for the disabled.
I've been driving a C1 vehicle for decades, never stopping since I got my license when I was young. How old can you drive up to? The answer is there's no upper age limit, as long as your health permits. However, after reaching 60, you need to undergo an annual health check at the hospital, including vision and reaction tests, to prove you're fit to drive. If you fail the medical exam, you can no longer drive. I think this policy is very reasonable—safety first. In old age, vision and memory may decline, so regular check-ups can prevent accidents. I know many friends in their seventies and eighties who are still driving; the key is they maintain exercise and stay in good health. Driving offers a lot of enjoyment, allowing the elderly to enjoy the freedom of travel, but it's important to prioritize physical maintenance.
