What Happens If You Forget to Bring Your Driver's License?

[VonLily]

Forgetting to bring your driver's license does not count as driving without a license. "Not carrying" is not the same as "not having," but both are traffic violations, with different penalties. Here are the details: 1. Handling for not carrying a driver's license: (1) If the driver provides the license and has no other violations while driving, they will receive a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. (2) If the driver provides the license but has committed other violations while driving, they will be penalized based on the violations and for not carrying the license, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. (3) If the driver fails to provide the license, they will be penalized as driving without a license. 2. Penalty for driving without a license: For "not obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license," Article 99 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates: a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan and detention for up to 15 days.
