Can a motorcycle be driven on the road with a green book but no vehicle license?

Motorcycles cannot be driven on the road with a green book but no vehicle license. Penalties for driving with an expired driver's license: If you drive on the road with an expired driver's license and are caught by traffic police, it will be treated as driving without a license. The vehicle will be impounded, and you will face corresponding fines and detention for up to 15 days. Driving with an expired license is not allowed. The driver's license must be renewed at the vehicle management office within 90 days before its expiration. Circumstances of driving without a license: Driving without a license includes situations where the driver has not obtained a motor vehicle driver's license, the driver's license has been temporarily suspended, the driver's license has been revoked, driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type, or obtaining the driver's license through illegal channels.

Last year, I was so excited when I took my newly bought motorcycle out for a ride that I forgot to bring the vehicle license. As a result, I was stopped by traffic police halfway, who said I must carry the vehicle license or face a 200-yuan fine or have my vehicle impounded. It gave me quite a scare. After that lesson, I finally understood the difference between the green book and the vehicle license: the green book is the registration certificate proving ownership, usually kept at home and only needed for transfers; the vehicle license is the vehicle's ID card and must be carried daily, as traffic police check it to confirm the vehicle's legal information. Now, I always check the document folder in my seat box before heading out. If you lose your vehicle license, go to the vehicle management office immediately to get a replacement—just fill out a form and pay a small fee. Don’t be lazy and ride without it. Safe riding starts with carrying all the necessary documents—don’t wait to learn the hard way like I did.

Having ridden motorcycles for over a decade, I've seen many beginners fined for not carrying their vehicle license. It's mandatory to have the vehicle license when driving, as traffic laws require it as an essential document. Traffic police primarily check this to confirm vehicle registration and owner identity. Not carrying it risks a 200-yuan fine or vehicle impoundment. The green book only proves ownership and is useless on the road. I also remind friends: make it a habit to check documents before heading out, including the vehicle license, driver's license, and insurance policy, so you can handle checkpoints or accidents smoothly. The vehicle license also shows the annual inspection date, helping you check if it's expired. Following the rules saves trouble—don't make things difficult for yourself.

Traffic regulations clearly require that motor vehicles on the road must carry the vehicle license. Motorcycles are no exception; failure to carry it is a violation, and traffic police may impose fines or temporarily impound the vehicle. The vehicle license contains crucial information such as the license plate number and the owner's name, which are essential for law enforcement. The green book (vehicle registration certificate) is used for registration and transactions, not for roadside checks. If the documents are lost, immediately go to the vehicle management office to reapply to avoid violations. Carrying the documents is a basic obligation and also ensures the vehicle is legally on the road, reducing the risk of disputes.
