What to Do If You Drive Without Carrying Your Driver's License?
1 Answers
Driving without carrying your driver's license results in a 1-point deduction and may incur a warning or a fine. Forgetting to bring your driver's license while driving is considered as not carrying the license, not as driving without a license. The traffic police will not detain the driver but may temporarily impound the vehicle. Not carrying a license is not the same as driving without one, but both are traffic violations with different penalties. Regardless of whether the driver has committed any other violations while driving, they 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 driver's license. The following actions will be taken based on the situation: 1. If the driver provides their license and has committed no other violations while driving, they will receive a warning or a fine, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. 2. If the driver provides their license but has committed other violations while driving, they will be penalized for both the violations and not carrying the license, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. 3. If the driver fails to provide their license, they will be penalized for driving without a license.
