Is the temporary suspension of a driver's license automatically lifted upon expiration?
2 Answers
The temporary suspension of a driver's license is not automatically lifted upon expiration. Additionally, the suspension cannot be canceled through the traffic management app 12123 after the license has been temporarily suspended. You must apply for the corresponding procedures at the vehicle management office where the suspension was imposed to have it canceled. Driving a motor vehicle during the temporary suspension period is not allowed and will be considered unlicensed driving. The regulations regarding the handling of a temporarily suspended driver's license are as follows: According to Article 108 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: The party concerned shall pay the fine at the designated bank within 15 days from the date of receiving the administrative penalty decision for the fine. For fines imposed on pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers, if the party concerned has no objections, the fine may be collected on the spot. The fine shall be accompanied by a receipt uniformly issued by the finance department of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government; if the receipt is not provided, the party concerned has the right to refuse to pay the fine.
The suspension of your driver's license does not automatically lift upon expiration. You need to proactively visit the local vehicle management office or traffic management department to complete the reinstatement process. I remember when my license was suspended for a few months last time, I thought it would automatically be restored after the suspension period. However, upon checking, I found out that I had to bring my original ID card, the suspension notice, and possibly the fine receipt to the designated counter to apply for the lifting of the suspension. The staff will review your records and may require you to attend traffic safety education or take a simple test. Only after confirming your eligibility will they lift the suspension. If you delay the process for too long, such as several months, your license might be deemed invalid, requiring you to retake the driving test, and you could be fined for driving without a valid license. It's advisable to contact the vehicle management office a week or two before the suspension expires to schedule an appointment. Avoid driving during this period to prevent legal trouble and safety risks. This process is in place to ensure everyone follows traffic rules.
