People who have learned about electric vehicles must also know that electric vehicles now need a driver's license to be legal on the road, even if it is a two-wheeled electric motorcycle, it cannot escape the spell of a driver's license, which has also caused many people on the Internet to be dissatisfied. Because of this, the driver's license test will now usher in a new revolution, involving two-wheeled, three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, which is a major benefit for the elderly!
According to statistics, the elderly population over 60 years old in the mainland is close to 300 million, while only tens of millions of people have obtained driver's licenses, and this proportion can be said to be very small. The reasons include many problems such as health, age, difficulty of the exam, etc., and now there is news that from April 1, the driver's license and scoring system will change, and some of these reforms can be described as a gospel for the elderly.
Take a change in your driver's license for a low-speed quad
In order, it is generally said that two-wheelers are first said, but because the reform of the driver's license has a greater impact on low-speed four-wheelers, because now the provinces either directly prohibit low-speed four-wheelers on the road, or require the need to hold a C certificate to legally go on the road, and the most important one of the driving license reforms on April 1 is the C certificate.
The first is the C2 certificate, which is an automatic driver's license, and the difficulty of the test is smaller than that of C1 manual gear, so if the elderly car owner wants to drive a low-speed four-wheeler, he will take the C2 certificate. And from April 1, the "ramp fixed-point parking" and "starting" of subject two in the C2 driver's license process will be reduced, which also means that the C2 certificate examination is less difficult and more conducive to the elderly.
This is followed by the C1 license, which is the manual driver's license. If you already have a C2 certificate and want to increase your driving to the C1 certificate, you will no longer have to take the theoretical knowledge of subjects 1 and 4 from April 1, and there will be no internship period after driving.
Change in obtaining an electric two-wheeler driver's license
The C certificate examination requirements are relatively simple, because there is no age limit, but the two-wheeled electric vehicle license is slightly troublesome, because driving an electric motorcycle requires a D or E certificate, driving an electric light motorcycle requires a D or E or F certificate, which involves the age limit, in 18-60 years old, which also explains the reason why the elderly have fewer driving licenses.
Since April 1, there have been some changes to these several types of driver's licenses, among which the F certificate increases the driving D, E certificate, and the E certificate increases the driving D certificate without the need to test theoretical knowledge. This is still somewhat useful for the elderly, in disguise, to reduce the difficulty of examination.
There is only one problem, now there are fewer elderly people with driver's licenses, if you do not start from the initial driver's license to change, and only from the change of driving, for the elderly is actually not very important.
Change in obtaining an electric tricycle driver's license
The problem mentioned above comes, driving a general three-open, fully enclosed, semi-enclosed electric tricycle requires a D certificate, driving a recreational tricycle requires an F certificate, although from April from F or E to increase driving to D certificate does not require a theoretical examination, but the age limit of the D certificate has not changed, and the elderly over 60 years old still cannot obtain a D certificate.
As we all know, tricycles are actually the most popular way of travel for the elderly, so that if the age limit is not changed, the benefits that can be brought to the elderly are still limited. Of course, for younger car owners, these reforms are still quite good, at least reducing the cumbersome examination process.
Eloquent
Nowadays, almost all means of transportation require a driver's license to drive on the road, and driver's licenses are also divided into many categories, this article is only about electric vehicles, so there will be too much thinking about whether this reform will be beneficial to the elderly, or the benefits are not great. Through understanding, it can be seen that there will be some changes in the reform of the next driver's license, which will be beneficial to the elderly and increase the examination rate, but this is not a fundamental problem to be solved, if you want to really solve the problem of travel for the elderly, you still have to think more carefully and thoughtfully.
If you still have any views on the change of driver's license, welcome to pay attention, leave comments, and discuss together!
