Does an Expired Driver's License Equal Driving Without a License?

[DeEleanor]

An expired driver's license does not equal driving without a license. More information about driving without a license is as follows: 1. Driving without a license refers to operating a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license issued by the traffic management department of the public security authority. 2. An expired driver's license does not mean the driver has not obtained driving qualifications. As long as the driver has passed the driver's license qualification examination organized by the vehicle management department of the public security authority, they possess driving qualifications. Unless the license is legally revoked, the driver retains valid driving qualifications. 3. If a driver fails to renew the license on time, the driver's license is not necessarily revoked. The renewal and inspection of a motor vehicle driver's license fall under administrative management, which is an administrative licensing act by the vehicle management department permitting the driver to engage in specific driving behaviors. Failure to renew an expired driver's license on time should be dealt with by the traffic management department according to the law.
