What is the penalty for driving on the highway without a driver's license?
2 Answers
If you forget to bring your driver's license when driving on the highway, you will be penalized with a 1-point deduction on your license and a fine. Here are some precautions for highway driving: 1. Highway entrance: When entering the highway entrance ramp, there are very strict requirements, including no overtaking, U-turns, stopping, or reversing. 2. Merging into highway traffic: When merging from the ramp into highway traffic, yield to others, use turn signals, honk, observe, and confirm that you are not affecting other vehicles before entering the highway lanes. 3. Proper overtaking: On the highway, pay close attention to the distance when overtaking and alert other vehicles. 4. Proper lane changing: Do not cross multiple lanes at once; before changing lanes, carefully observe traffic conditions, use turn signals, and honk to alert other vehicles.
Oh, that time I drove on the highway and forgot to bring my driver's license, I happened to be stopped by traffic police at the toll booth for inspection, and I was so scared that I broke out in a sweat. The officer first asked me to show my ID card and checked whether I had a valid driver's license. It turned out that I did have one but didn't bring it. He explained that according to regulations, such a minor offense would result in a fine of 50 to 100 yuan and a deduction of 1 point. However, nowadays many places accept electronic driver's licenses. I showed the record from the traffic APP on my phone, so I was spared the penalty and only received a verbal warning. Such checks on the highway are quite common. The officer said they are mainly for ensuring safety, and it only takes a few minutes to complete. Since then, I've bound my electronic driver's license APP and developed the habit of checking my belongings before driving to avoid such small incidents again.
