Which statement about driver's license renewal and regular aptitude tests is NOT correct?
The first renewal period is counted over a different length depending on your age bracket on the day you passed, and who must take the regular aptitude test depends on license class and age (Article 87(1) and (2) of the Road Traffic Act). Watch out for statements that swap the periods between age brackets.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 87(1) of the Road Traffic Act, the first renewal period is within 6 months before or after the birthday in the year 10 years after passing (5 years if 65 to under 75 on the pass date, 3 years if 75 or older). So the statement giving 5 years for those 75 or older is wrong; it is 3 years. Under paragraph 2, Class I and Class II license holders who are 70 or older during the renewal period must take the regular aptitude test.
