If the driver does not carry the motor vehicle driver's license corresponding to the vehicle type being driven, it shall be regarded as driving without a license. Driving a motorcycle without a license will result in relatively severe fines. Driving without a license can be divided into the following situations (any one of which can be considered as driving without a license): Driving beyond the approved vehicle type: If the type of motor vehicle driven by the driver exceeds the scope of the vehicle type approved on the driver's license, it will be treated as driving without a license (for example, a person holding only a C license driving a B license vehicle, or a person holding only a B license driving an A license vehicle, etc.). Not carrying driving documents: If the driver does not carry the motor vehicle driver's license corresponding to the vehicle type being driven, it shall be regarded as driving without a license.
Last time I rode my motorcycle without carrying both licenses and got stopped by traffic police, I was really nervous. As a result, not carrying the driver's license cost me 1 point and a 50-yuan fine, and not carrying the vehicle license another 1 point and 50-yuan fine, totaling 100 yuan and 2 points. The most troublesome part was having my bike impounded, forcing me to take a taxi home to fetch the documents and then rush to the traffic police station to settle everything before retrieving my bike. Now, I keep both licenses in a waterproof card holder attached to my keychain, and I haven't forgotten them since. I suggest everyone develop the habit of checking their pockets before setting off to avoid unnecessary expenses and delays.
It's quite a loss to ride a motorcycle without carrying the driver's license and vehicle license. A friend of mine was once checked by the traffic police, who issued on-the-spot fines ranging from 20 to 200 yuan for each document, plus a deduction of 1 point for each. What's even more frustrating is that the motorcycle was towed away, and he had to present all the required documents at the traffic police station to pay the fines before retrieving his vehicle. Later, he got smarter and downloaded the electronic driver's license through the Traffic Management 12123 app for record. Nowadays, many cities recognize the electronic version, which is much more convenient than carrying physical documents.
