You cannot drive with an expired driver's license for even a few days. Below are the key points regarding an expired driver's license: 1. Legal provisions: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, if your driver's license has been expired for over one year without renewal, it will be automatically revoked. If it has been expired for over two years, you must pass the subject one exam to restore its normal use. If your license has been revoked for over two years, you will need to reapply for a new one. 2. Invalid license: It is particularly important to note that driving with an expired license is strictly prohibited. Driving with an expired license is considered as driving without a license or equivalent to unlicensed driving. Penalties for driving with an expired license include a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 RMB and may also involve detention for up to 15 days. In cases of serious traffic accidents resulting in injuries or fatalities, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law.
