For older drivers, the question of "how old you can't drive a motor vehicle" is particularly important. However, there are still many drivers who regard "the upper age limit for applying for a driver's license", "the upper limit on driving age" and "the age for submitting proof of physical condition" as the same thing.
Today, Xiao Yi will give you a detailed explanation of the driver's age.
C1, C2, F driver's license keywords: unlimited, 70 years old
The first keyword of the C1C2F driver's license is: unlimited.
Since November 20, 2020, the traffic management department has abolished the upper age limit of 70 years old for applying for a small car C1, small automatic car C2, and moped F driver's license. In other words, there is no age limit for C1, C2, and F driver's licenses. As long as you pass the physical condition, how old you can take the driver's license is OK.
Although the age limit for applying for a driver's license has been removed, when the driver reaches a certain age, he or she must submit a physical certificate every year.
That's the second keyword for C1C2F: 70 years old.
According to Article 72 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses
Drivers of motor vehicles over the age of 70 shall conduct a physical examination once a year, and within 30 days after the end of the scoring cycle, submit a certificate of relevant physical condition issued by a medical institution at the county level or regimental level or above.
This is what we often call "submitting proof of physical condition", which must be submitted every year after the age of 70. Failure to submit it in a timely manner will result in the cancellation of your driver's license.
If the physical condition proves to be passed, even after the age of 70, we can still continue to drive on the road; if we do not pass the pass, we can no longer continue to drive.
Category AB driver's license keywords: 60 years old
For the relatively advanced AB driver's license, "60 years old" is a key word that must be remembered.
According to Article 59 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses
Those who are over 60 years of age are not allowed to drive large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses and trams;
Holders of driving licenses for large passenger cars, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks shall go to the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or at a vehicle management office other than the place where the motor vehicle license was issued to obtain a motor vehicle driving license with a quasi-driving type of small car or a small automatic vehicle.
The provision has two meanings, one is that after being over 60 years old, they can no longer continue to drive an AB driver's license; the other is that after 60 years of age, people with an AB driver's license must go to the vehicle management office for a driver's license to be downgraded to C1 or C2, and after 70 years of age, they must undergo a physical examination every year.
Motorcycle driver's license keywords: 70 years old
In addition, the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses also impose restrictions on drivers over the age of 70, after reaching the age of 70, the following models will not be able to continue to drive.
Those who are over 70 years old are not allowed to drive low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles and wheeled self-propelled motorcycles; Holders of ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles or ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles shall go to the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or at a vehicle management office other than the place of issuance to obtain a motor vehicle driving license with a moped in the permitted driving type.
That is to say, after the age of 70, it is no longer possible to drive a low-speed truck C3, a three-wheeled car C4, a normal three-wheeled motorcycle D, and an ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle E, and all of them are required to be downgraded to moped F. Owners who usually drive motorcycles should pay special attention.
summary
For the C1C2 driver's license held by most people, although the driving age limit has been removed. However, "70 years old" is an important threshold, and after reaching this age, you must submit a physical certificate every year;
● For the AB driver's license, "60 years old" is a turning point. After this age, the AB quasi-driving type can no longer be driven, and it needs to be downgraded to C1 or C2;
●If you are a motorcycle, you need to keep in mind the keyword "70 years old", after reaching this age, you can no longer drive a motorcycle, and you need to be relegated to a moped before you can continue to drive.
