"I'm about to turn 60,
Can I continue to drive the truck?"
"Parents over 70 still want to drive,
Do I need to go to the DMV to reapply?"
Riders with driver's licenses may have a question

Let Youbao explain it to you in detail today!
Can you get a driver's license over 70 years old?
Naturally!
Article 14 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses (hereinafter referred to as the "Driving License Regulations"), which came into effect on April 1, 2022, stipulates that the age requirement for applying for small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, and mopeds is over 18 years old. People over the age of 70 who can pass the memory, judgment, reflexes and other ability tests can also apply for a driver's license for the above models.
Therefore, as long as you pass the tests and meet the relevant conditions, you can continue to drive (restricted models) when you are 100 years old~
Caution!
Drivers over the age of 70 are required to have a medical examination every year!
The "Driver's License Regulations" also stipulates that "motor vehicle drivers over the age of 70 shall undergo a physical examination once a year and submit a certificate of physical condition issued by a medical institution within 30 days after the end of the demerit period." "If a driver does not submit a medical certificate within one year after the end of a demerit period, the DMV will cancel his motor vehicle driver's license.

Driving tips for seniors
Hold on to your collection
Or share it with those in need~
1
Try to use an automatic car
Automatic transmission cars are relatively simple to operate, and there is no need to change gears frequently, which can reduce the difficulty of driving, reduce the driving pressure of the driver, and allow the driver to focus more on the road conditions.
2
Avoid drowsy driving
Fatigue driving is one of the culprits of traffic accidents, for elderly drivers, the energy is relatively weak, and fatigue driving should be avoided, and it is recommended that the elderly do not drive for more than 1 hour each time.
3
Control the distance between the front and rear vehicles
As people get older, their reflexes will gradually decline, so elderly drivers should keep a certain distance from the car in front of them during driving to avoid traffic accidents due to untimely response.
4
Reduce travel at night and in special weather
Visibility at night and in some special weather is low, the road conditions are poor, and accidents are more likely to occur, so elderly drivers should reduce or avoid traveling.
5
Avoid driving at high speeds
High-speed driving requires high response ability of the driver, once there is a critical situation, it may be difficult for the elderly driver to take timely and correct response measures, so you should try to avoid high-speed driving, and do not forcibly overtake.
It doesn't matter how old you are
Safe travel is the maximum
Riders on the road
Be sure to pay attention to the regulation of driving
"Veteran drivers" should pay more attention to their own health
Do what you can!
