嘉惠高齡駕駛人就近換發駕照,新竹區監理所今天早上在北埔鄉公所,辦理一站式高齡駕駛人換發新駕照服務,有37名高齡且體檢合格的駕駛人,參加2個小時高齡換照道路交通安全講習後,順利取得有效期間到他們年滿75歲為止的新駕照。
區監理所表示,高齡換照新制在今年5月31日上路,把高齡駕駛人定期換照年齡從75歲下修改為70歲開始,明定普通駕照有效期間到年滿70歲為止;年滿70歲未滿75歲的人,經體格檢查合格並完成道路交通安全講習,就可換發有效期間到他們年滿75歲的駕照;至於75歲以上駕駛人,另須通過認知功能測驗,或提出沒有罹患中度以上失智症的證明文件,每3年換照1次。
他們考量老人家的安全和出門不易,便透過縣府以各鄉鎮市公所作為講習場所,同時媒合衛生醫療機構,規劃一站式換照服務,用專人、專線以及專門櫃台受理。
高齡換照新制的適用對象有:滿70歲、70歲以上未滿75歲者、以及75歲以上但84歲以下的長輩。他們每天早上9點到11點都有開高齡換照講習課,2個小時的時間分2堂,每堂50分鐘。
第1堂著重現行重點道安政策和法規宣導駕駛新知,會輔以實際案例做分享、討論。第2堂課則讓講者跟長輩互動操作危險感知模擬相關情境,有助提升用路安全觀念與技能,讓長輩建立起正確的交通安全新觀念。
