What to Do If You Forget to Bring Your Driver's License on the Highway?
2 Answers
If you forget to bring your driver's license and encounter a traffic police officer, you can provide your name and ID number to the officer. The officer can then check with the headquarters or query the system to confirm whether you have a driver's license, as forgetting to bring your license does not constitute unlicensed driving. Below are some precautions to take while driving: 1. Follow traffic rules: When driving on the road, always adhere to traffic rules. Following traffic rules is not just about avoiding fines or penalties but also about ensuring the safety of yourself and others. Do not smoke, do not answer phone calls, yield to pedestrians, yield to non-motor vehicles, do not speed, and obey traffic signals. 2. Carry your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate: When driving on the road, always carry your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate. The vehicle registration certificate serves as the car's ID card, while the vehicle registration book is equivalent to the car's household registration document. The vehicle registration book does not need to be carried in the car.
I just encountered this situation a few days ago when I was in a hurry to get on the highway and realized I left my driver's license at home. Don't panic first. Now the Traffic Management 12123 APP has an electronic driver's license, which is recognized nationwide. After logging into the APP, click on the electronic version of the driver's license, generate a QR code for the traffic police to scan. When encountering a checkpoint, explain the situation and cooperate with the ID check. Usually, no penalty will be imposed. If you haven't prepared the electronic document in advance, don't worry. Go to the nearest service area police station to get a temporary identity certificate (remember to bring your ID card), which is valid for 24 hours. However, it's best to develop a habit. Later, I directly put a copy of my driver's license in the back of my phone case.
