Hong Kong to mandate health checks for commercial drivers aged 65 and above
Hong Kong is implementing new mandatory health checks for commercial drivers aged 65 and older, aiming to enhance road safety. The government plans to lower the age threshold for these checks from 70 to 65 and will shorten driving license validity to one year, requiring annual medical assessments for renewal. This initiative is part of a broader overhaul to include vision, hearing, and other fitness standards, with legislative proposals expected soon and enforcement targeted for mid-next year. AI
