Can I drive if I haven't received my new driver's license yet?
1 Answers
You cannot drive if you haven't received your new driver's license. During the process of replacing the old license with a new one, the traffic police department will issue a receipt to the applicant along with relevant instructions. When road police require inspection, if the driver can present this receipt and it is verified as correct, the police will still allow passage, so it is not considered illegal driving. Below is relevant information: 1. During driver's license renewal period: You can drive normally during the driver's license renewal period. However, you cannot drive if it exceeds the validity period. If the license is renewed within 90 days of expiration, driving during this period is not considered unlicensed driving, but the supplementary page of the renewed license will indicate the license's validity period. If you don't renew within these 90 days and are caught driving after this period, it will be considered unlicensed driving. 2. Regulations: According to Articles 95 and 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the handling for not carrying a driver's license is as follows: Regardless of whether the driver has violated any traffic laws, they are not allowed to continue driving, and the traffic management department of the public security organ should impound the motor vehicle and require the driver to provide their driver's license.
