What are the circumstances under which one is permanently disqualified from obtaining a driver's license?
2 Answers
Permanent disqualification from obtaining a driver's license must simultaneously meet the following three conditions: First, a major traffic accident occurred due to violation of road traffic safety laws and regulations. This should be determined in accordance with the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Traffic Accidents." Second, the act constitutes a crime: the person permanently disqualified bears primary or full responsibility in the major traffic accident, and their actions constitute the crime of causing a traffic accident. Under special circumstances, equal responsibility may also constitute the crime of causing a traffic accident. Third, the individual fled the scene after causing the accident: the purpose is to intentionally evade legal accountability by escaping the accident scene. For general cases of fleeing the scene of a traffic accident, the offender can only be fined and detained for 15 days according to Article 99 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China."
I heard that the situation where you can never get a driver's license again mainly happens after you commit particularly serious traffic violations. For example, if you cause an accident while driving that results in someone's death or severe injury, and then you flee the scene, the police and the court will determine that you committed an intentional crime, after which you will be sentenced to a lifetime ban from obtaining a driver's license. When I was younger, I saw a friend who drove under the influence, killed someone, and fled the scene—he was banned from driving for life and deeply regretted it. Looking back now, driving is no joke; you must follow the rules. Drunk driving and speeding are life-threatening, so it's essential to develop good habits, like checking the brakes before driving and not using your phone while driving. After all, having your license revoked is one thing, but a lifetime driving ban affects your entire life—finding a job and getting around become difficult. The key is that you no longer have the chance to correct your mistakes, so everyone should prioritize safety and not wait until something happens to regret it.
