What are the penalties for driving with a locked driver's license?

The traffic management department of the public security authority will impose a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan. May also be subject to detention for up to 15 days. Go to the traffic management office to inquire about the specific reason for the driver's license being locked, accept the corresponding punishment, and the driver's license can be used normally after the process is completed.
I just reviewed some traffic regulations and found that driving with a locked driver's license is a serious offense if caught by traffic police. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, this constitutes unlicensed driving. Not only can you be fined between 200 to 2000 yuan, but you may also face up to 15 days of detention, an immediate 12-point deduction, and your vehicle could be impounded on the spot. Worse yet, insurance may refuse to cover accident damages. If an accident occurs, all responsibility falls on you, and you could even face legal action. I advise friends not to take this risk—promptly visit the DMV to address violations and unlock your license. Make it a habit to regularly check your license status through mobile apps to avoid last-minute issues. Safety should always come first.
