The validity period of a newly issued driver's license is 6 years. If the driver does not accumulate 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during this 6-year period, they will be issued a 10-year validity driver's license upon renewal. If the driver continues to avoid accumulating 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, they will be issued a long-term motor vehicle driver's license upon the third renewal. The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, which is an official document issued by government transportation authorities to individuals who meet the qualifications for driving. It is typically a card. To obtain a driver's license, applicants must meet age requirements and pass a driving test. The license usually specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, or buses. Drivers can renew their licenses within 90 days before the expiration date. If the license is not renewed after the expiration date, it becomes invalid and cannot be used for driving. Driving with an expired license is considered unlicensed driving, and the individual must retake the driving test to obtain a new license before they can legally drive again.

What is the penalty for motor vehicles not driving in the motor vehicle lane?

Non-motor vehicles driving in non-motor vehicle lanes will be fined and have three points deducted. According to road conditions, roads are divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and pedestrian lanes, with motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians traveling in separate lanes. On roads without designated motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, or pedestrian lanes, motor vehicles should travel in the middle of the road, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should travel on both sides of the road. Motor vehicles driving in non-motor vehicle lanes are considered as not driving in the designated lane, resulting in a three-point penalty and a fine.
