What to do if the driver's license has expired without renewal?
1 Answers
Here are the steps to handle an expired driver's license that hasn't been renewed: 1. You can still apply for renewal even if it's overdue, just do it as soon as possible. 2. Note: Do not drive on the road before renewal, as you may be fined if caught. For Class A or B licenses, annual review is only required if there are demerit points recorded. If the driver's license hasn't undergone review for three consecutive scoring cycles, it will be downgraded. Here is additional information from the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses: 1. Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses will have their highest permissible driving category revoked under the following circumstances, and the vehicle management office will notify the driver to apply for downgrade within 30 days: involvement in a traffic accident causing death with equal or greater responsibility without constituting a crime; having a full 12-point demerit record in one scoring cycle; or failing to undergo review for three consecutive scoring cycles. 2. If the driver fails to apply for downgrade within the specified time, the vehicle management office will announce the revocation of the permissible driving category. 3. After downgrading, to reapply for the revoked driving category, the driver must have no full 12-point demerit records in the current and the most recent scoring cycle before application, and no involvement in a traffic accident causing death with equal or greater responsibility.
