Motorcycle physical examinations are conducted at medical institutions at or above the county level. Below is relevant information about obtaining a motorcycle driver's license: Application Process: Register at a driving school, traffic police station, or vehicle management office; undergo a physical examination; take subjects one, two, and three. Legal Basis: Article 19 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" stipulates that first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license shall fill out an application form and submit the following documents: the applicant's identity proof; a physical condition certificate issued by a medical institution at or above the county level or regimental level in the military. For those applying for a special small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a physical condition certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted.

I'm so familiar with the mandatory physical exam before riding a motorcycle! In the past, it had to be done at hospitals designated by the DMV, but now it's much more convenient—you can get it all done in one stop at the DMV itself. Some cities even have physical exam stations set up in government service centers—just bring your ID card. Last time at the DMV, it took me only 20 minutes to complete all the checks, including vision and color recognition tests, which are done with professional automated equipment. I recommend checking the local DMV website in advance to avoid a wasted trip. If the county DMV doesn't offer physical exams, you'll need to go to the physical examination department at the county people's hospital—remember to go on weekdays. The physical exam is valid for one year, so make sure to have it ready before taking the driver's test or renewing your license.

The physical examination locations for motorcycles are actually quite flexible. The vehicle management offices generally have self-service physical examination machines where you can take a photo, measure your height, and check your vision, and you're done. Nowadays, many top-tier hospitals can also perform these examinations, such as the driver's physical examination clinic at municipal hospitals—just register and ask for a motorcycle physical examination. I recommend going to the vehicle management office since it's convenient to handle the driver's license procedures there. Don’t forget to bring cash and small change, as some places only accept cash and don’t support QR code payments. Community hospitals occasionally offer the service, but their equipment might not be fully equipped. The main items checked during the physical examination include whether your vision is above 0.8, color blindness and color weakness tests, and limb mobility checks.

I just went for a motorcycle physical examination, and now there are many channels available. Simply search for 'driver physical examination points' on the mobile map, and a bunch of options pop up. The vehicle management office is the first choice, taking only half an hour to complete. Some cities also have examination stations near the traffic police brigade. The physical examination department of the People's Hospital can definitely handle it, but you may need to queue. The most important thing is not to stay up late before the examination, as it's easy to fail the vision test. The cost is around 30 yuan, cheaper than a car physical examination.
