What Happens If You Drive While Your License Is Suspended?
1 Answers
If your license was suspended due to accumulating 12 penalty points, driving during this period constitutes operating a motor vehicle while your license is legally suspended, resulting in a fine and vehicle impoundment. If your license was temporarily suspended for six months due to drunk driving, driving during this period is considered operating a motor vehicle while your license is temporarily suspended, leading to 6 penalty points, a fine, vehicle impoundment, and possible detention for up to 15 days. If a motor vehicle driver allows someone without a valid driver's license or whose license has been revoked or suspended to drive their vehicle, their driver's license will be suspended, and their license may also be revoked. Driving without a valid driver's license, or while your license is revoked or suspended, or allowing someone without a valid license or whose license has been revoked or suspended to drive your vehicle, will result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan imposed by the traffic management department of the public security authority, and may also lead to detention for up to 15 days. Special Note: If you do not carry your driver's license with you while driving, regardless of whether you have committed any traffic violations, you are not allowed to continue driving. The traffic management department of the public security authority will impound the vehicle and require the driver to provide their license. The situation will be handled differently depending on the circumstances of the provided license.
