1. If the driver is with cognitive impairment, it might be accompanied with the declining of concentration, learning ability, memory, and reaction ability. It will affect driving ability.
2. Although the cognitive function testing is not absolutely related to the driving ability, the potential group for cognitive impairment can be initially screened out through the cognitive function testing. If it is confirmed by a professional doctor, it is not suggested to continue driving or riding to avoid causing danger to ourselves or other road users.

The government not only carries out management on elderly drivers but also implements significant change on the management towards other drivers:
1. From November 2014, applicants who apply for motorcycle driving license for the first time must participate in the initial motorcycle driving license safe driving seminar.
2. From June 2015, the difficulty on exam questions for motorcycle driving license test has been increased.
3. From March 2017, the hours for drunk driving seminar has been extended.
4. From May 2017, road test was added to the automobile driving license test.

1. The prevention of juvenile traffic accident is also a promotion that the law enforcement agency has included into the long-term project. In addition, Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act has increased the penalty on drunk driving and the law enforcement agency also cracks down on the violation. In order to improve road safety involved with elderly drivers, we take reference to the approaches used in advanced countries and establish management system in order to promote it the same time as other traffic maintenance tasks.
2. Most advanced countries have driving license management system for elderly drivers in place. In our country, we plan to implement elderly drivers’ driving license management system on the “drivers who are 75 years old after implementation” and “drivers who are more than 75 years old and involved with violations or license suspension after implementation date”. Other than passing health examination as one of the reviewing method, drivers also need to pass “cognitive function testing” or submit “certificate of not suffering from moderate dementia or above” before they are allowed to renew a driving license for automobile (motorcycle) with a validity of three years. Other than helping the elderly who are not suitable to continue riding or driving understand their own condition, it will remind the family members to pay attention on the driving safety of the elderly’s in order to maintain road traffic safety.
3. Highway Bureau also receives feedback from many family members to support the system. If their parents pass the testing mechanism, they will feel more relax for them to ride or drive.

The main purpose of “Suhua Highway Improvement Project” is to solve the long-term problems of poor road alignment, easy to be snapped by landslides, and higher accident rate on three sections of Suhua Highway, including Su’ao to Dong’ao, Nan’ao to Heping, and Heping to Dachingshui. In consideration of the maintenance of environment and ecology as well as the reduction of impact on the local area after opening it to the public, the purpose of Suhua Highway Improvement Project is not for mass transportation. That is why it is designed with only one lane to maintain existing road capacity.
Due to the rural location, we also consider the demand of rescue in the shortest time if there is any emergency in the tunnel. Thus, emergency rescue paths are established in Dong’ao Tunnel, Guanyin Tunnel, Gufeng Tunnel, and Zhongren Tunnel in order to allow disaster-rescue vehicles, like police cars, fire engines, and ambulances, access to the tunnel as soon as possible.

According to Article 61.1.4 of Regulations for Road Traffic Safety, “drivers who have obtained small vehicle driving license can use it for light motorcycle”.

Don’t worry. All operations for “one-time penalty” are computer-controlled. Before any adjudication decision is legally received by the person penalized, the computer file will not indicate “delivered” and no vehicle or driver’s license will be directly canceled.
