How many points are deducted for driving without the vehicle license?

Driving without carrying the vehicle license will result in a deduction of 1 point. Below is detailed information about the vehicle license: Overview: The motor vehicle license is the legal document permitting the vehicle to drive on roads within China. The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed core, while the back has a photo of the vehicle, all sealed in plastic. The supplementary page is the endorsed core. Relevant regulations: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" issued by the State Council stipulates: Vehicles must pass inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are allowed to drive. Therefore, possessing a "Motor Vehicle License" is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road, and driving without it is a violation.

I was once stopped by traffic police for forgetting to bring my vehicle license while driving, resulting in a 1-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. That time I was really careless - I didn’t check my wallet before driving and left the document at home. Now I’ve learned my lesson: I keep a photocopy of the license in the glove compartment or take a photo saved on my phone for easy access anytime. Remember, driving without documents is a minor offense, but if you’re involved in an accident or inspection without it, things can get complicated – police may impound your car and cause delays. My advice is to develop the habit of spending two seconds to confirm all documents are ready before heading out, so a small oversight won’t disrupt your trip.

As a friend who just started learning to drive, I'm particularly concerned about such rules to avoid losing all my points and having to retake the test. Driving without a vehicle license definitely results in a 1-point deduction, as stipulated by traffic regulations. I heard from my driving instructor that not carrying the license may prevent the vehicle from proving its legality, affecting the quick handling of minor accidents, and getting towed would be even more troublesome. Now I keep a photo of the license on my phone or a copy in the car for backup, which saves a lot of hassle. Actually, this point deduction isn't too severe, but accumulating too many can significantly impact your driving record. It's essential to develop a habit of checking before heading out next time—safety first, after all.

From a safety perspective, being on the road without a vehicle license and receiving a 1-point penalty is not severe, but it poses significant risks. The absence of documentation may delay vehicle identification, such as prolonging police verification after an accident. I make it a habit to carry the license in the car to avoid issues during inspections and being recorded. Although the point deduction is minor, it can affect insurance and driving license ratings in the long run. It's advisable to keep the documents or photo backups properly stored to ensure smooth passage.
