Driving without a driver's license is penalized as unlicensed driving, with a fine ranging from 200 to 2000 yuan and detention for up to 15 days. If intercepted while driving without a license, points will definitely be deducted, and the vehicle will be temporarily impounded by the traffic management department of the public security authority. The specific penalties are as follows: 1. If the driver provides the driver's license: In the absence of other traffic violations, a fine of 20 to 200 yuan will be imposed, 1 point will be deducted, and the vehicle will be returned. 2. If the driver provides the driver's license but has other traffic violations: Penalties will be imposed based on the circumstances along with the penalty for not carrying the license, and the vehicle will be returned.
