What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a driver's license?
2 Answers
18 years old or above can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license. Applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must meet the following requirements: 1. To apply for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, or light motorcycles, the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old. 2. To apply for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old. 3. To apply for city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the applicant must be between 21 and 50 years old.
I signed up for my driver's license as soon as I turned 18, while I was still in high school, and it felt really exciting. For the application, I needed to bring my ID card and a medical examination certificate to the driving school. Then, I studied the theoretical knowledge before taking the tests from subject one to subject four. The whole process took several months, and I think 18 is a reasonable age because young people are relatively mature in mind at this stage, capable of understanding traffic rules and risks. After getting the license, it's important to drive carefully, avoid distractions like using a phone, and always prioritize safety. I've also seen some friends eager to drive, but waiting until the right age to learn is better. Actually, different types of driver's licenses have slightly varying age requirements—for example, motorcycles also start at 18, but cars are more common. In short, preparing early and practicing more is always beneficial.
