Can You Drive on the Road Without a Vehicle License?
2 Answers
You cannot drive on the road without a vehicle license. Here are the relevant details about the vehicle license: Composition of the Vehicle License: The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license folder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed core, while the back features a photograph of the vehicle, sealed in plastic. The supplementary page also contains an endorsed core. Function of the Vehicle License: Possessing the 'Motor Vehicle License' is one of the prerequisites for driving a vehicle on the road. Driving without the license is a violation. The 'Owner Name' field on the 'Motor Vehicle License' is not just about the name—the registered owner on the license is the legally recognized owner of the vehicle, with the right to legally use and dispose of the property. In case of traffic accidents or financial disputes, the registered owner is also the legally responsible party.
I know exactly how it feels to drive without the vehicle license. Last year, I went to the suburbs for business and found out I'd lost it, but I still took the risk and drove. Unfortunately, I got pulled over by traffic police. The fine was the least of my worries—the real issue was missing an important meeting that day, plus my car was impounded for half a day. The vehicle license is essentially the ID card of your car. Without it, the police can't verify the car's legal origin or complete documentation during a check. Now, I always keep a photocopy of my vehicle license in my wallet as a backup. If I lose it, I can immediately use the 12123 app to apply for a temporary electronic version, but the permanent solution is to visit the vehicle management office for a replacement. Recently, the replacement process has been simplified. Just bring your ID card, vehicle photos, and registration certificate, and you can usually get a new one the same day. Driving without it knowingly, especially if you're involved in a rear-end collision or get checked for drunk driving, would only make things worse.
