"Road Traffic Safety Law" and "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving License" put forward certain requirements for motor vehicle drivers' age, height, vision, hearing and color discrimination, but they are not unlimited for drivers' educational level. However, it is difficult for illiterate students to pass the motor vehicle driver's test because they need to read written questions and then answer them on the computer.

Some media commented that driving mainly tests a person's starting and moving ability, as well as sense of direction, distance and speed, and has little to do with academic qualifications. Since the law does not prohibit illiterate people from taking driver's licenses, they should not ignore the rights of these ethnic minorities.
The solution to the problem that illiterate people can't understand the written test questions is to set up phonetic auxiliary function in computer test, so that candidates can listen to the answers while watching. This transformation is not difficult to realize technically.
But some people have objections to illiterate driver's licenses. The relevant person in charge of the Shenzhen Motor Vehicle Driver Training Industry Association believes that there are certain traffic safety hazards when driving on the road without literacy. "Even if an illiterate student can get a driver's license, he can't even understand road signs and street names. How can he get to his destination? On the other hand, the premise of driving on the road is to be familiar with traffic laws and regulations and understand the road signs of various cities. He cannot harm the public's traffic safety for personal interests. "
