Can a vehicle be driven on the road without a vehicle license? Yes, but only for owners who have applied for an electronic vehicle license. Currently, some cities (such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wenzhou, etc.) have introduced electronic versions of driver's licenses and vehicle licenses (limited to local users). If you have an electronic license, you are allowed to drive even if you forget or do not carry the physical vehicle license. Additional information: Electronic driver's licenses and vehicle licenses serve as supplements to physical documents. In situations such as encountering traffic police during roadside checks, handling traffic violations at police stations, dealing with minor vehicle collision accidents, or processing related traffic management services, if you forget to carry your physical driver's license or vehicle license, you can present the electronic versions via WeChat to the traffic police. After verification, the traffic police will recognize your driving qualifications and vehicle information, and you will not be penalized with fines, points deduction, or vehicle impoundment for not carrying the physical documents.

Does Airbag Deployment Count as a Major Accident?

Airbag deployment does not necessarily indicate a major accident, as sometimes even minor collisions can trigger the airbags. Therefore, using airbag deployment as a criterion to determine the severity of an accident is not accurate. Factors Triggering Airbag Deployment: Whether an airbag deploys depends on the direction of the collision and the magnitude of the vehicle's acceleration caused by the impact, rather than the extent of vehicle damage. Thus, rear-end collisions, rollovers, or severe damage may not necessarily trigger airbag deployment. Different manufacturers set varying conditions for airbag deployment. Typically, frontal airbags deploy when the vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h and a severe impact occurs within a ±30-degree angle range. Side airbags deploy when a severe impact occurs within a ±60-degree angle range on the side of the vehicle. Precautions for Airbag Use: If a car is equipped with dual front airbags, children should not sit in the front seat, nor should child seats be installed there. Normally, when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position, the system performs a self-check of the airbags. If the airbag warning light on the dashboard remains lit, it indicates a malfunction in the airbag system, which should be repaired promptly. Avoid hanging decorations on the front windshield or rearview mirror, as they may be propelled toward occupants during airbag deployment in an accident, causing unnecessary injuries.
