China will allow citizens over 70 to apply for driving licenses, on condition that their health meets the requirements for safe driving, the Ministry of Public Security announced.
公安部表示，身體條件達到安全駕駛要求的情況下，70歲以上的人員可以申請駕照。
【單詞講解】
“駕照”可以用driving license或者driver's license表示。根據現(xiàn)行規(guī)定，想考取駕照的人必須上至少64小時的driving classes held by training schools(駕校課程)，包括兩門driving theory(駕照理論)課和兩門driving practice(駕照實踐)課。
允許70歲以上人員申請的駕照類型分別為小型汽車(compact cars)、小型自動擋汽車(compact automatic transmission cars)、輕便摩托車(lightweight motorcycle)。
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周歲以上人員考領駕駛證的，增加記憶力、判斷力、反應力等能力測試，保證身體條件符合安全駕駛要求，且需每年進行一次身體檢查，提交體檢證明。
其他年齡限制調整
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周歲調整至60周歲。
擴大體檢醫(yī)療機構范圍
License applicants will be able to have the checkups in nearby medical institutions, including township hospitals, community health service centers and physical examination centers.
駕照申請者可選擇就近的鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)衛(wèi)生院、社區(qū)衛(wèi)生服務中心、健康體檢中心等醫(yī)療機構進行體檢。
擴大機動車免檢范圍
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.
對非營運小微型客車(面包車除外)超過6年不滿10年的，由每年檢驗1次調整為每兩年檢驗1次。
