the 60 year old limit is enforced...
G'Day,

Here is an update on the situation, our mate has to do a new full test (theory & questions only for car) and a full medical check up as he is a few years over 60 and was never asked to do the medical during the last few years.
All came up last Friday as he tried to renew his license (valid till December 2012) and the driving license (C1/D) was confiscated on the spot at the Shanghai vehicle management bureau (Hami Road in Hongqiao). He was told to do the test and medical within four weeks and will only be granted a C1 (car) and F (moped up to 49cc) driving license.

His birthday is coming next month and might buy him a 49cc Honda Z50 "Monkey-Bike" as a present......
