Q: Screwed on driving exam if you're color-blind in China?

I aim to pass the driving test but I heard from someone (who hasn't passed the test himself, which is why I distrust him), that there's a color-blind exam to get your license here.

 

Anyone know if this is true? I actually suffer from this (partially - certain colors I can't distinguish at all) and was super down when I heard this.

It's true.  Before you can even take the 100 question exam, you have to receive a certificate from a hospital which includes said color-blind test.  You could probably just take a Chinese friend with you, pretend not to speak any Chinese, and have them answer the questions to the doctor for you......assuming the doctor can't speak english.

 

My memory is they showed you a picture with patterns, and a number was embedded into the pattern using different colors.  The doctor would then ask you what number you saw.

They also have one with an animal on it. The one I had to distinguish was a horse.

I don't understand why a colour blind test would be needed, all lights are in sequence. It's not like they change at random.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
