The first thing to introduce to you in this issue is the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses (Order No. 162). This provision was approved at the meeting of the Ministry of Public Security on December 4, 2021, and officially came into force from April 1, 2022.
Q: What have changed in the application and use of driver's licenses?
The first thing to introduce to you is the change of application conditions:
1. The new ministerial decree requires that the age requirement for the quasi-driving type of small cars (C1), small automatic cars (C2), small automatic passenger cars (C5) and mopeds (F) for the disabled be 18 years old or older, and the 70-year-old restriction is abolished, that is, the upper age limit is removed. If you are over 70 years old and want to apply for a driver's license, as long as you can pass the memory, judgment, reaction and other ability tests, you can apply for a small car, a small automatic car for the disabled, a moped quasi-driving type of motor vehicle driving license.
Q: The new driving test regulations are good news for the elderly, that is to say, no matter how old they are, as long as they pass the ability tests such as memory, judgment, and reaction, they can apply for C1, C2, C5, and F certificates, right?
Yes, but the elderly who have obtained a driver's license should also pay attention to the fact that for motor vehicle drivers over the age of 70, a physical examination should be carried out once a year, and within thirty days after the end of the scoring cycle, the certificate of physical condition issued by the medical institution should be submitted. This provision is mainly based on the safety of the elderly to travel by car.
2. For individual left lower limbs missing or losing motor function, but the right lower limbs are normal, you can apply for a small automatic car (C2) quasi-driving type of motor vehicle driving license.
3. For those who apply for low-speed cargo vehicles (C3), three-wheeled vehicles (C4), ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles (D), ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles (E) or wheeled special mechanical vehicles, the age restrictions have not changed, and they are still over 18 years old and under 60 years old. Here we need to pay attention to the following, the new ministry order will be wheeled self-propelled mechanical vehicles changed to wheeled professional mechanical vehicles, the name is different, more stringent specifications, but although the name has changed, but the driver's license code is still M.
Q: This is for small car owners, but what about large cars?
4. The new ministry decree has made great adjustments to the application age of large buses and other models, and the age requirement for the original application for the quasi-driving type of city buses, large trucks, trolleybuses or trams is over 20 years old and under 50 years old; the application for medium-sized buses is required to be over 21 years old and under 50 years old; this time all merged together, that is to say, the age requirements for applying for city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, light traction trailers, trolleybuses, and trams are uniformly over 20 years old , under 60 years of age;
5. The new ministry order also divides the past tractor quasi-driving type into two types, one is a heavy traction trailer (A2), the second is a light traction trailer (C6) quasi-driving type, holding a light traction trailer allowed to drive a car train with a total driving mass of less than (not including equal to) 4500kg, that is, what we call a trailer caravan, that is, the total mass of the front car + light trailer (trailer caravan) must not exceed 4500kg, which can be more convenient to meet the needs of the masses driving ARV outings. It is also to promote the development of new forms of caravan tourism. At the same time, in the past, the age requirement for applying for the quasi-driving type of tractor was over 24 years old and under 50 years old; the age requirement for applying for large bus (A1) quasi-driving type was over 26 years old and under 50 years old; this new ministerial decree merged large buses (A1) and heavy traction trailers (A2) into an age limit range and adjusted to over 22 years old and under 60 years old. For those who apply for the light traction trailer (C6) quasi-driving type, the age requirement is to be over 20 years old, and under 60 years old.
remind:
Although the light tractor trailer (C6) quasi-driving type belongs to the C class license, the first application for a driving license can not directly apply for C6, you can obtain it by adding a quasi-driving type. If the quasi-driving type is A2, it is allowed to drive the C6 quasi-driving type, and other quasi-driving types need to drive additional driving if they want to drive a trailer caravan.
Trivia
After obtaining the C6 driver's license, when preparing to drive their own car tow the mid-axle trailer, you must first check whether your own traction vehicle has traction capacity, you can look at the registration certificate, if the registration certificate of the front car on the "quasi-traction total mass" project has no data, indicating that the manufacturer manufactured this model does not have traction capacity, we must not use vehicles that do not have traction ability to traction to traction axle trailer, which is both dangerous and illegal.
6. Students who accept full-time driving vocational education and apply for large buses (A1) and heavy traction trailers (A2) quasi-driving types will be adjusted from the original age requirement of 20 years old or older, under 50 years old to over 19 years old and under 60 years old.
Here we can find that the driving age of the big car has been relaxed for 10 years, which can better meet some of the driving needs of the masses.
Q: Have there been any changes to the new regulations regarding the requirements for additional driving types?
some. The new regulations have also changed some changes to the restrictions on increasing the type of driving. Those who have already held a motor vehicle driver's license and apply for an increase in the quasi-driving type shall not have a record of 12 points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before the application, and this provision, like the old one, has not changed. What has changed is that the application to increase the light tractor trailer (C6), medium-sized bus (B1), heavy-duty tow trailer (A2), large passenger car (A1) quasi-driving type, should also meet the following regulations, the following to give you a detailed introduction:
1. First of all, everyone is more concerned about, this new ministry order, the newly added C6 quasi-driving type. Then the application for additional driving light traction trailers, that is, the C6 quasi-driving type, needs to have obtained the qualification of driving small cars and small automatic cars for more than one year to increase driving; this one is new, because in the past there was no C6 model.
2. Those who apply for the additional driving of medium-sized passenger cars (B1) need to have obtained the qualification of driving city buses (A3), large trucks (B2), small cars (C1), small automatic cars (C2), low-speed trucks (C3) or three-wheeled cars (C4) for more than two years, and have not recorded 12 points in the last two consecutive scoring cycles before the application; this corresponds to obtaining the corresponding quasi-driving type for more than three years and there is no full score record in the three scoring cycles. Shortened years and cycles.
3. Those who apply for additional driving of heavy traction trailer quasi-driving type (A2) need to have obtained the qualification to drive a medium-sized passenger car (B1) or a large truck (B2) for more than two years, or have obtained the qualification to drive a large passenger car (A1) quasi-driving type for more than one year, and have not recorded 12 points in the last two consecutive scoring cycles before the application; this corresponds to the qualification of medium-sized passenger cars or large trucks for more than three years in the old Ministerial Order. And the failure to record 12 points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles prior to the application is also a shortening of the age and period.
4. Those who apply for additional driving of large passenger cars (A1) quasi-driving type need to have obtained the qualification to drive city buses (A3) and medium-sized buses (B1) for more than two years, have obtained the qualification to drive large trucks (B2) quasi-driving type for more than three years, or have obtained the qualification to drive heavy traction trailers (A2) quasi-driving type for more than one year, and have not recorded 12 points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles before the application. The requirement to have been qualified to drive a city bus, medium-sized bus or large truck for more than five years, or a driving tractor for more than two years, and not to have a record of 12 points in the last five consecutive scoring cycles before the application has been reduced.
5. Students who are receiving full-time driving vocational education, who have obtained the qualification to drive a small car quasi-driving type at school, and have not recorded 12 points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before the application, may apply for the addition of large passenger cars and heavy traction trailer quasi-driving types.
It can be found that the time limit requirements for increasing other quasi-driving types have been significantly shortened, so as to facilitate the people's driving needs to a greater extent.
Q: Have there been any changes to the driver's license test in the upcoming new regulations?
some. The new ministerial decree has made adjustments to the content of the examination and the qualification standards, and I will explain them to you one by one.
1. Change to add small car driver's license test requirements. For those who have already held a small automatic car (C2) quasi-driving type driving license to apply for the addition of small car (C1) quasi-driving type, subjects two and three should be tested, and the theoretical test, that is, our computer test, has been cancelled.
2. Changes to add motorcycle driving license test requirements. Those who already hold a moped (F) quasi-driving type driving license, apply for the addition of ordinary three-wheeled motorcycle (D) or ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle (E) quasi-driving type, or hold an ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle driving license to apply for the addition of ordinary three-wheeled motorcycle quasi-driving type, shall take subjects two and three. Theory exams were also cancelled.
3. Added examination requirements for the quasi-driving type of light traction trailer. Those who have held a large bus (A1), a city bus (A3), a medium-sized bus (B1), a large truck (B2), a small car (C1), and a small automatic car (C2) apply for a quasi-driving license to increase the light trailer quasi-driving type, that is, a C6 driving license, and need to test the safety and civilized driving knowledge in subjects 2 and 3. In other words, there is no need to take the theory test and the road driving skills test for subject three.
4. Change the examination requirements for small automatic cars for the disabled. Drivers of motor vehicles who have already held a quasi-driving type driving license for large passenger cars (A1), heavy traction trailers (A2), city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars (C1), and small automatic cars (C2) have changed their physical conditions and do not meet the conditions for the quasi-driving type of the motor vehicle driver's license they hold, but meet the conditions for the quasi-driving type of small automatic passenger cars (C5) for the disabled, and if they apply for change, they shall take the examination subjects TWO and III.
5. Change the test requirements for applying for a motor vehicle driving license with an overseas motor vehicle driver's license. Those who apply for a motor vehicle driving license with an overseas motor vehicle driver's license shall take the first subject of the examination. Applicants who apply for a motor vehicle driving license with a large bus (A1), a heavy traction trailer (A2), a city bus (A3), a medium-sized bus (B1), and a large truck (B2) shall be examined for subjects I, II and III.
This change is relatively large, the original foreign renewal, if the masses choose large-scale driving qualifications, only need to test subjects one and three, and now increase the examination of subject two, that is, to improve the requirements, but this is also in line with the attitude of being responsible for the safety of the people's lives.
Supplementary Knowledge:
The current ministerial decree requires mainland residents to hold a foreign motor vehicle driving license, and when obtaining the motor vehicle driver's license, they require that they stay in the country or region issued for three consecutive months, then when they renew the C1 and C2 certificates, they can only take subject one, and many people often leave and enter the country because they do not understand the relevant policies, resulting in not meeting the policy requirements for three consecutive months.
The new ministerial decree was also adjusted to take into account the masses in this regard. The current new ministerial decree requires that those who hold a driving license for a foreign motor vehicle, meet the application conditions, and have resided for more than 90 days in the issued country or region at the time of obtaining the driving license, can apply for a motor vehicle driving license corresponding to the quasi-driving type. Those who apply for a driving license for a large passenger car (A1), a heavy traction trailer (A2), or a medium-sized passenger car (B1) motor vehicle shall also obtain a driving license for the corresponding quasi-driving type motor vehicle abroad for more than two years.
Q: Have the specific contents of the exam changed?
Yes, combined with the "decentralization service" convenience service initiative launched by the ministry and bureau, the implementation of the new ministerial decree has been optimized for the content and project of the examination:
1. Large bus A1, heavy traction trailer A2, city bus A3, medium-sized bus B1, large truck examination B2 model two from the previous 16 items to 14 items, canceled the original subject two "through continuous obstacles" and "undulating road driving" project.
2. Stipulate the content of the second examination of the light tractor C6: light tractor c6 examination pile examination, curved driving, right angle turning;
3. New content of the safe and civilized driving knowledge test for subject 3: new first aid knowledge for the injured.
4. For those who apply for a driver's license for a small automatic car (C2) or a small automatic passenger car (C5) for the disabled, the item "ramp parking and starting" will be cancelled in the subject two examination. The interval between appointments for the Subject 3 exam is adjusted from 30 days to 20 days for obtaining a certificate of learning to drive.
5. For those who apply for additional driving of large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles, the appointment interval of the subject 3 examination is adjusted from 40 days to 30 days after obtaining the certificate of learning to drive.
6. For those who apply for or hold a motorcycle driver's license for the first time to drive a city bus or large truck, the interval remains unchanged, and it is still 40 days after obtaining the learning driving certificate.
Not only that, the new ministry decree has also adjusted the test mileage of large car subject three. Large buses, heavy traction trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks test mileage is not less than 10 kilometers, of which the first application for city buses, large trucks quasi-driving type, the daytime test mileage is not less than 5 kilometers, night test mileage is not less than 3 kilometers. Among them, the test mileage has been reduced from the original total mileage of 20 kilometers to 10 kilometers, the daytime mileage has been reduced from no less than 10 kilometers to no less than 5 kilometers, and the night test mileage has been reduced from no less than 5 kilometers to no less than 3 kilometers.
remind:
If the applicant applies for a driver's license for a small car, a small automatic car, a low-speed truck, a three-wheeled car, a small automatic passenger car for the disabled, or a light trailer driver's license, after passing some subject tests, the place of residence has changed, and it is possible to apply for a change of test place, and can make an appointment for other subject tests at the current place of residence. However, the application for a change of examination place may not be taken more than three times.
Changes in internship limits
1
The current ministerial decree stipulates that the internship period is 12 months after the first application for the motor vehicle driver's license and the addition of the quasi-driving type. Then there are strict requirements on the road during the internship period, which also brings great trouble to the owner's travel.
In order to solve the problem of too many internship period restrictions reported by the masses, the new ministry ordered to improve the management system of the internship period, clarifying that the 12-month period for the first time to obtain a car or motorcycle driving license is the internship period, and there is no longer a separate internship period for each model, so as to solve the problem that the masses reflect too many restrictions on the internship period. The internship period is 12 months after the driver of a motor vehicle first obtains a quasi-driving type of automobile or a quasi-driving type of motorcycle for the first time.
2
For example, if you originally obtained a C1 license and later added a class A and B driving license, because it belongs to the same type of car, then the new class A and B quasi-driving type does not have a 12-month internship period. In the same way, if you originally obtained an E certificate for a motorcycle and later added a D license, because it belongs to the same motorcycle type, then the newly added motorcycle D quasi-driving type also has no internship period.
If you originally obtained a motorcycle driving license for a motorcycle driver's license or originally obtained a motorcycle driving license to increase the driving license of the automobile, then the newly obtained driving qualification still has a 12-month internship period.

Good news:
If the drivers of the driving licenses of large buses, heavy traction trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses and large trucks in the previous Order No. 139 were credited with more than 6 points but did not reach 12 points during the one-year internship period, the provision of extending the internship period by one year was abolished in the new Order No. 162, that is, the internship period was not extended.
At the same time, in the current ministerial decree, the driver holding a large passenger car, heavy traction trailer, city bus, medium-sized passenger car, and large truck driver's license in a traffic accident causes death, bears the same or more responsibility, and does not constitute a crime; if there is a record of 12 points in a scoring cycle and three consecutive scoring cycles do not participate in the examination, the current ministerial order requires that the vehicle management office should cancel its maximum quasi-driving type, but this article in the new ministry order is also deleted, that is, it will not be demoted.

Full marks for learning
Drivers of motor vehicles who have accumulated 12 points in a scoring cycle shall participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge. For each increase in the number of times a motor vehicle driver participates in full-point education or for each 12-point increase in cumulative points, the learning time of road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge is increased by seven days, and the maximum number of days of study per full score is sixty days.
Drivers of large buses, heavy traction trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks who have accumulated 12 points in a scoring cycle shall participate in a 30-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge. Drivers of large buses, heavy traction trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks participate in the full score education in a scoring cycle for each increase of 12 points, and the learning time of road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge is increased by 30 days, and the maximum number of days of learning with full scores is 120 days. Among them, these 30 days of study, on-site learning and online learning shall not be less than 10 days, and the remaining days shall be completed by independent study, and the theoretical examination shall be taken after the completion of learning. Two points of 12 points are required to take Subject 1 and Examination Subject 3. Three times to score 12 points is required to take the exam of subject 1 and subject 2 and subject 3.
As you can see, this time the requirements for large buses, heavy traction trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, large truck drivers, and drivers who have scored 12 points multiple times have become more stringent. For those who have scored 12 points multiple times in a scoring cycle, extend the study time, increase the learning content, increase the examination subjects, and strengthen education management for drivers who have repeatedly violated the law.
