What are the penalties for driving an unlicensed vehicle?
2 Answers
Driving without proper license plates and documents will result in vehicle impoundment, a certain amount of fine, and 12-point deduction. If you carry the license plates in the vehicle and have all required documents, generally only point deduction and fine will be imposed without vehicle impoundment, with a certain amount of fine and 12-point deduction.
Recently, I've been quite interested in traffic regulations, and the penalties for driving without a license plate are quite severe. According to the rules, if caught by the police, the fine starts at 200 yuan and can go up to 2,000 yuan, with an immediate deduction of 12 points, which is equivalent to losing all your driving license points at once. Even worse, the vehicle may be impounded on the spot, especially if it involves a fake license plate, and you might even have to spend a few days in jail. It's not just about the fine; it also affects insurance claims, and you'll have to bear full responsibility in case of an accident. It's really not worth cutting corners. I recommend everyone to register their vehicles promptly at the DMV after purchase, bringing all necessary documents and vehicle information to spend a small amount on license plate registration—safe and legal. Regularly check if the license plate is loose or damaged to avoid unintentional violations.
