2 Answers
Driving without carrying the driving license will result in a deduction of 1 point, along with corresponding fines and the vehicle being impounded. Relevant information is as follows: Notes: We need to present the driving license to the traffic police department for verification after obtaining it, and then the vehicle will be returned. Penalty for not carrying the driving license: Regarding the penalty for driving without carrying the license, according to Article 19 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, driving a motor vehicle requires legally obtaining a motor vehicle driving license. Drivers must drive the motor vehicle according to the type of vehicle specified on the driving license; when driving a motor vehicle, the driver must carry the motor vehicle driving license.
I remember driving for many years and often reminding my friends about the importance of carrying their documents. According to traffic regulations, a motor vehicle driver will be penalized with 1 demerit point for driving without the vehicle license once. While it's not a major issue, it's quite troublesome because accumulating 12 points means having to retake the driving test. The vehicle license is a key document proving the car's identity. If caught by traffic police without it, not only will points be deducted, but there's also a fine, usually ranging from 100 to 200 yuan. I always keep mine in a fixed spot in the glove compartment, forming a habit to avoid forgetting. The new rules now support electronic vehicle licenses, so keeping a copy on your phone is even safer, making things easier and more convenient. In short, don't underestimate that 1 point—paying attention to daily details ensures safe driving.
