How to Penalize Illegal Taxis?
2 Answers
Driving an illegal taxi when caught will result in the suspension of the driver's license. Driving a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, or when the driver's license has been revoked or temporarily suspended, will incur a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan and may also result in detention for up to 15 days. Below is relevant information about illegal taxis: 1. Introduction: Illegal taxis refer to vehicles that operate for profit without completing any relevant procedures with the transportation management authorities or obtaining an operating license, thus engaging in illegal operations. 2. Violation Methods: Illegal passenger transport: Refers to vehicles operating commercially in violation of regulations, such as operating on unauthorized routes. Unlicensed and fake-licensed operations: Vehicles operating without a license or with a fake license lack government regulation and regular supervision, leading to unguaranteed service quality, inability to obtain insurance, and exemption from regular safety inspections.
Speaking of illegal ride-hailing, I’ve heard the penalties are quite severe. If caught by traffic police, you’ll typically face hefty fines first, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands depending on the city. You’ll also lose traffic points—starting from six—and your car will be impounded for one or two months, requiring you to pay to get it back. Worse, if an accident occurs where passengers are injured or property is damaged, you won’t have proper insurance coverage for claims, leading to legal troubles. My advice: don’t chase quick money. Just go through the proper process to get a ride-hailing license—it’s not difficult, and it’s safe, legal, and worry-free. Save money and peace of mind—why take the risk?
