Disposable gloves are not required for a driver's license test. The following items are needed for the test: 1. Identification: The applicant's ID and a medical certificate issued by a county-level or military regimental-level medical institution regarding physical conditions; 2. Physical condition certificate: For applicants applying for a small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted; 3. Other special circumstances for applying for a driver's license: Those holding a military or armed police force motor vehicle driver's license who apply for a civilian driver's license must fill out an application form and submit the following documents. After verification, they may be exempted from the C-license test.

When I first got my driver's license, I was also curious about wearing disposable gloves. Later, the examiner explained that it's mainly for hygiene and safety reasons. The test center receives dozens to hundreds of people every day, and everyone touches shared equipment like the steering wheel and gear shift. Wearing gloves can reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses, especially after COVID, people pay more attention to this. When I operated with gloves on, the feel wasn't affected. Instead, I found that my hands wouldn't sweat and wet the equipment, and it prevented grease from sticking to my hands, making the operation more stable. The entire test process went smoothly, ensuring everyone's health. This may seem like a small thing, but it's very meaningful in preventing infections. I recommend everyone to cooperate and wear gloves properly during the test, don't find it troublesome.

As someone who frequently visits various test centers, I find the regulation of wearing gloves during driving tests quite reasonable. The test center requires disposable gloves to maintain equipment cleanliness and protect examinees' health. Think about it – steering wheels, buttons, and other frequently touched surfaces can easily harbor bacteria from sweat or dirt. Wearing gloves creates a barrier, reducing the risk of disease transmission. It also ensures the test proceeds smoothly without concerns about hands slipping. I've witnessed cases where examinees were stopped for not wearing gloves, causing delays. I recommend that prospective test-takers prepare gloves in advance and get accustomed to operating with them on for a smoother test experience.

Wearing disposable gloves during the driving test is mainly for hygiene considerations. The exam environment is crowded with many people sharing equipment, increasing the risk of germ transmission. Gloves act as a barrier to protect everyone's health and safety. When I took the test, I wore them and found no inconvenience—in fact, it made handling things cleaner. Don't overlook this detail; wearing gloves can significantly reduce infection risks.
