BEIJING, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- China has revised its driving regulations to extend the age limits for drivers of medium and heavy buses and trucks, as part of the country's efforts to delay the retirement age and accommodate an aging workforce.
The maximum age limit for applying for a medium or heavy bus or truck driver's license, as well as for operating these vehicles, has been raised from 60 to 63, according to the revised regulations that will take effect on Jan. 1, 2025.
Drivers over 63 who intend to continue operating the vehicles may apply for a license extension, provided they successfully complete a medical examination along with tests assessing memory, judgment and reaction time. The extension can last up to three years, the Ministry of Public Security said. ■
