Can You Drive Someone Else's Car Without a Vehicle License?

[DeSadie]

You can drive someone else's car without a vehicle license. The vehicle license is equivalent to the 'ID card' of a car, and every vehicle has one. A car without a vehicle license is considered an unregistered vehicle. If the car is not yours, you naturally won't have its vehicle license. Here is some additional information: License Proof: A driver's license is a kind of 'license proof.' It proves that you have the necessary skills to drive safely on the road. With a driver's license, you can drive motor vehicles of the corresponding type. As long as the other person's car has a vehicle license, you can drive it legally. Relevant Regulations: Article 12: Under any of the following circumstances, an applicant shall not be issued a motor vehicle driver's license: having organic heart disease, epilepsy, Meniere's disease, vertigo, hysteria, Parkinson's disease, mental illness, dementia, or other neurological diseases that affect limb movement and hinder safe driving; addiction to narcotics or psychotropic substances that has not been cured; revocation of a motor vehicle driver's license within the past two years; or fleeing the scene after causing a traffic accident, resulting in the revocation of the driver's license.

I believe you can drive someone else's car without the vehicle license, the key is that you must bring your own driver's license. The vehicle license is actually a document that proves the car's legality, and the owner should keep it in the car for inspection. So even if you don't have your own vehicle license, as long as the owner gives you the car keys and the vehicle license is in the car, and you as the driver have your driver's license, it's fine. Once, I drove a friend's car for a trip, and he forgot to put the vehicle license in the car. As a result, we were stopped by the police at an intersection. Fortunately, I had my driver's license with me, and the police only gave a verbal warning. That experience taught me: the driver's license is the ID of the driver, and the vehicle license is the ID of the car. When driving someone else's car, check all documents clearly to avoid disputes. In case of an accident or violation, not having the driver's license may result in fines or even points deducted, affecting insurance claims. Overall, before borrowing a car, confirm that all vehicle procedures are complete, and safe driving is the priority.

I've borrowed cars from family or friends a few times. To be honest, it doesn't matter much if you don't have the vehicle license yourself, but never forget to bring your driver's license. Last time, I urgently needed my brother's car to go to the hospital, and halfway there, the police checked my documents. I didn't have my driver's license with me, and even though the vehicle license was in the car, the police still gave me a ticket—a pretty harsh lesson. The key point is that the driver's license proves you're allowed to drive, while the vehicle license proves the car is legal. When driving someone else's car, make sure there's a copy of the vehicle license in the car in case of inspection, so you don't put the owner in a tough spot. Also, consider insurance: if an accident happens and you're driving without a license, the insurance might not cover it, and the owner could be at risk. Before borrowing a car, it's a good idea to ask the owner where the documents are and get into the habit of always carrying your driver's license—a few simple steps can save a lot of trouble. This experience reminded me not to cut corners or be careless for the sake of convenience.

I think it's okay to drive without the vehicle registration certificate, as it's mainly proof of vehicle registration and should be kept by the owner. What you need to carry while driving is your own driver's license, which serves as proof of your driving qualification. I used to worry about confusing the documents, but experience has taught me: before driving someone else's car, first check that the driver's license is valid to avoid issues. Relatedly, insurance is also crucial—if you drive without a license, the insurance company may refuse to pay after an accident, increasing the owner's burden. Simply put, safe driving primarily ensures your own qualifications, and the vehicle registration certificate can stay with the car. Remember, the core is not to violate regulations.
