What is the maximum age for using a driver's license?

Chinese regulations stipulate that after a driver reaches the age of 70, the driver's license must be reviewed annually, and the driver must undergo a physical examination. The driver must submit a "Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" within 30 days after the end of the scoring cycle. Below are the relevant details: 1. Age restrictions: For holders of Class A and B driver's licenses, which include A1 large buses, A2 tractors, A3 buses, B1 medium-sized buses, B2 large trucks, and other permitted vehicle types, upon reaching the age of 60, the original permitted vehicle types will be downgraded to Class C driver's licenses. For holders of C3 low-speed trucks, C4 three-wheeled vehicles, D three-wheeled motorcycles, E two-wheeled motorcycles, and other driver's licenses, upon reaching the age of 70, the C3 and C4 licenses will be automatically revoked, and the D and E licenses will be downgraded to F licenses for light motorcycles. 2. Age limits: For holders of C1 small car driver's licenses, C2 automatic transmission small cars, and F light motorcycle driver's licenses, upon reaching the age of 70, they must submit a driver's physical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital to the local vehicle management department within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle (annually). If the physical examination certificate is not submitted for more than one year after the end of a scoring cycle, the driver's license will be revoked. As long as the qualified physical examination certificate is submitted on time, there is no age limit, and as long as the physical condition permits, one can continue to drive small cars regardless of age.
