What is the validity period for obtaining a driver's license?
2 Answers
Generally, the validity period for obtaining a driver's license is 3 years. If it exceeds 3 years, it will become invalid, and you need to re-register. The contents of the driver's license examination are introduced as follows: Subject 1: Examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The structure of the examination question bank and the basic question types are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, and the traffic management departments of provincial public security authorities establish the provincial examination question bank based on local actual conditions. Subject 2: Examination on field driving skills. The examination items include reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving on a curve, and parallel parking. Subject 3: Examination on road driving skills. The basic examination items include preparation before getting on the car, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, parking by the roadside, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge. The examination items are related to safe and civilized driving knowledge.
I remember hearing since childhood that the minimum age to get a driver's license is 18 years old, which is the legal baseline set by our country. You have to be an adult before you can register for driving lessons and tests. I think this restriction is very reasonable because driving is no child's play. If you're too young, you lack experience and are prone to impulsive behavior that could lead to accidents. That's why the law protects us by requiring a minimum age of 18. For older individuals, like my father who's in his 70s, he can still obtain a driver's license but needs to undergo annual physical examinations to ensure normal vision, quick reflexes, and most importantly, safe driving. In summary, age restrictions are primarily based on safety considerations—accumulating experience when young and maintaining health when old ensures peace of mind while driving.
