How is unlicensed driving of a motorcycle with a license plate calculated?
2 Answers
Unlicensed driving will be penalized with 15 days of detention and a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan. The driver should pay the fine at the traffic management department or designated bank within 15 days. Examples of unlicensed driving: 1. Obtaining a license: Attend training at a driving school and then take the driving test. 2. Not driving on the road: Without a driving license, do not drive a motorcycle; practice more at the driving school. Understand relevant laws. 3. Division of responsibility: The division of responsibility in road traffic accidents should be based on the parties involved in causing the accident, the degree of compliance with traffic regulations, the impact of their actions on the accident, and the severity of the fault. If the accident is solely the driver's fault, the driver bears full responsibility; if the other party is also at fault, the responsibility should be divided according to the severity of each party's fault.
A few days ago, my neighbor was caught by traffic police for riding a licensed motorcycle without a license. At the time, he skipped getting a license to save trouble, and ended up being fined 2,000 yuan on the spot with his bike impounded. Even though the motorcycle was licensed, riding without a driver's license means you're not qualified to operate it—that's illegal. Having ridden motorcycles for over a decade, I've seen too many similar cases. It's not just about the fine; you could also face a few days in detention and a blemish on your driving record. Worse, insurance companies will deny claims, leaving you fully liable. In case of an accident, even third-party insurance won't cover you. I strongly advise everyone not to cut corners—take the time to get a Class D license; it's simple and safe. Regular maintenance can extend your bike's lifespan, but without proper documentation, it's all for nothing. Riding at night without lights is dangerous enough—going unlicensed is like planting a ticking time bomb for yourself.
