For driving a vehicle without carrying a driver's license, one point will be deducted, and a warning or fine may be imposed. If the vehicle license or driver's license is not carried with the vehicle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle. Below is the relevant introduction: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 95: Motor vehicles driven on the road without hanging a motor vehicle license plate, without placing an inspection qualification mark or insurance mark, or without carrying the vehicle license or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the corresponding procedures, and may impose penalties in accordance with the provisions of Article 90 of this Law. Relevant Procedures: The motor vehicle shall be promptly returned after the party provides the corresponding license, mark, or completes the corresponding procedures. Intentionally covering, defacing, or not installing the motor vehicle license plate in accordance with regulations shall be penalized in accordance with the provisions of Article 90 of this Law.
As a parent who often drives my kids to school, I remember one time I was in a hurry to leave and forgot my driver's license. I got pulled over by traffic police halfway, got one point deducted and was fined 20 yuan. Since then, I've kept my license in my wallet and developed a habit of checking my pockets before getting in the car. The fine for not carrying a license is usually 20 to 200 yuan, and you'll definitely lose one point. It may seem minor but can cause delays and make people think you're driving without a license, adding extra risks. I advise new drivers not to follow my example, especially when transporting children - safety is more important than anything. Nowadays you can also take a photo of your electronic license as backup.
