How to deal with unlicensed driving when the passenger has a license?
1 Answers
When a vehicle is in motion, the owner driving without a license will be punished according to the law, regardless of whether the passenger has a driver's license or not. Article 99 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that driving a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, or when the motor vehicle driver's license has been revoked or temporarily suspended, shall be fined and may also be detained for up to 15 days. Moreover, the passenger will need to bear corresponding responsibility under the following circumstances: 1. The passenger is the owner: If the passenger is the owner and knows that the driver does not have a driver's license. 2. The passenger is not the owner: The passenger is not the owner but has a driver's license and knows that the driver is unlicensed. In both cases, the passenger will be held accountable, and the responsibility is significant. In addition to facing the same fines and detention as the driver, the passenger's driver's license will also be revoked.
