Can I still drive if my driver's license has been expired for three months?

You cannot drive if your driver's license has been expired for three months. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction to driver's licenses: The full name of a driver's license is motor vehicle driving license, also known as a "driver's license." It is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. 2. Classification of driver's licenses: The current driver's licenses are divided into 16 categories: A1 driver's license, A2 driver's license, A3 driver's license, B1 driver's license, B2 driver's license, C1 driver's license, C2 driver's license, C3 driver's license, C4 driver's license, C5 driver's license, D driver's license, E driver's license, F driver's license, M driver's license, N driver's license, P driver's license.
You absolutely must not drive with a license expired for three months. According to traffic regulations, your driver's license is only valid within its expiration period—expiration means you're unqualified to drive. If caught, you could face fines ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan, and your vehicle may be impounded. Worse, in case of an accident, insurers will deny claims citing unlicensed driving, leaving you fully liable. I recommend promptly visiting the DMV for renewal, typically requiring your ID, original license, medical report, and a passport photo—it’s quick and avoids risks while ensuring safety. Remember: an invalid license gambles with safety—don’t make a grave mistake for temporary convenience.
