Can I still drive if my driver's license has expired and I haven't renewed it?

If your driver's license has expired and you haven't renewed it, you cannot drive. Otherwise, you may be treated as driving without a license, so you should renew it as soon as possible. Time regulations: If the expiration is less than one year, you can renew it normally; if it has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be revoked, but you can renew it by passing the subject one exam; if it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be renewed. Penalties for driving with an expired license: You must not drive a motor vehicle during the expiration period, otherwise you may be treated as driving without a license. If your driver's license has been expired for less than one year, you can renew it at any time, but if you drive on the road, you will face a fine of 200 yuan. If your driver's license has been expired for more than one year without renewal, the traffic management department will revoke it according to the law. If the expiration is less than three years, the driver must retake and pass the subject one exam to restore their driving qualification. If they drive on the road during this period, they will face a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. If the driver's license has been expired for more than three years, it will be completely revoked. The driver must retake the driver's license exam if they want to drive again. Otherwise, driving on the road will be treated as driving without a license, resulting in a fine of 2000 yuan and administrative detention for up to 15 days.
