Forging, altering, or using forged or altered driver's licenses results in a 12-point deduction. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," forging or altering a "Motor Vehicle Driver's License" is considered a serious violation and incurs a 12-point penalty. Additional relevant information is as follows: Note 1: Forging, altering, or using forged or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, vehicle licenses, or driver's licenses will result in confiscation by the traffic management department of the public security authority, detention of the vehicle, up to 15 days of detention, and a fine; if a crime is constituted, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law. Note 2: Forging, altering, or using forged or altered inspection qualification marks or insurance marks will result in confiscation by the traffic management department of the public security authority, detention of the vehicle, up to 10 days of detention, and a fine; if a crime is constituted, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law.
I remember years ago a friend of mine got a fake driver's license, and when the traffic police caught him, they immediately deducted 12 points, revoked his entire license, fined him 2000 yuan, and even detained him for a few days. It's really not worth doing. Driving is all about honesty and safety. If your license is fake and you end up in an accident hurting others or yourself, there'll be no time for regrets. So, I strongly advise all my fellow drivers to ensure your documents are legal and complete, and to check and renew them regularly. Don't cut corners with fake stuff—following traffic rules is the way to go. When you're doing regular car maintenance, take a moment to check your documents too. It can save you a lot of trouble and protect everyone's right to the road.
