Applicants over 70 will have to pass tests of their memory, judgment, reaction time and other abilities to ensure they are capable of driving safely. They will also need to have a medical checkup and submit the result each year.

70周歲以上人員考領(lǐng)駕駛證的，增加記憶力、判斷力、反應(yīng)力等能力測試，保證身體條件符合安全駕駛要求，且需每年進(jìn)行一次身體檢查，提交體檢證明。

The minimum age requirement for a driver's license for a large coach will be reduced from 26 to 22, and that for a driver's license for a towing vehicle from 24 to 22. The upper age limit for a driver's license for large or medium-sized passenger cars and trucks will be raised from 50 to 60.

對于申請大型客車、牽引車駕駛證的年齡下限由26周歲、24周歲降低至22周歲，申請大中型客貨車駕駛證年齡上限由50周歲調(diào)整至60周歲。

License applicants will be able to have the checkups in nearby medical institutions, including township hospitals, community health service centers and physical examination centers.

擴(kuò)大機(jī)動車免檢范圍

Excluding minivans, noncommercial cars with seven to nine seats that have been in operation for more than six years but less than 10 years will no longer need to pass an annual inspection. Instead, they will now be inspected once every two years.
