Do I Need to Bring the Vehicle License When Driving My Dad's Car?
2 Answers
Driving your dad's car requires carrying the vehicle license. Functions of the vehicle license: 1. Proof for road use: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" states: "Vehicles must pass inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are permitted to drive." Therefore, possessing the "Motor Vehicle License" is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road. Driving without the vehicle license, whether due to not obtaining it or forgetting to carry it, is a violation. 2. Proof of ownership: The owner registered on the vehicle 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 economic disputes, the owner is the legally responsible party.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I fully understand that carrying the vehicle license while driving is a legal requirement. Whether driving my father's car or any other vehicle, according to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the police have the authority to inspect the vehicle license. Failure to carry it may result in a fine or even the impounding of the vehicle. The vehicle license is like the ID card of the car, proving that the vehicle is legally allowed on the road. Once, I forgot to bring the vehicle license when driving a friend's car and was fined 200 yuan, which also delayed me for a whole hour. I recommend that car owners keep the vehicle license in a fixed location inside the car, such as the glove compartment, for easy access when the car is borrowed. Carrying the vehicle license not only helps avoid penalties but also facilitates quick settlement of claims in case of an accident, saving a lot of trouble. In short, develop a good habit of checking whether all necessary documents are with you before getting in the car.
