What to Do If You Forget to Bring Your Driver's License When Driving and Get Checked by the Police?

Simply provide your ID card to the traffic police, and they can check online to see if you have a driver's license. Here are some relevant introductions about driving: 1. Precautions: Pay attention to preventing fatigue driving. Fatigue reduces the driver's judgment ability, slows reactions, increases operational errors, leads to untimely or inaccurate gear shifting, and in some cases, even causes short periods of sleep, resulting in loss of control over the vehicle. When speeding, the driver is mentally tense, consumes a lot of physical and psychological energy, experiences reduced vision, narrowed field of view, and impaired judgment, which can easily lead to collisions, rollovers, and other traffic accidents. 2. Legal Basis: "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" and "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China".
Last time I drove out and forgot to bring my driver's license, then I got pulled over by the police for a check. I was really nervous at that moment, but the officer told me not to worry and just provide my ID number. He checked with his device and confirmed I had a valid license, eventually only fining me 50 yuan as a warning. The officer mentioned that electronic driver's licenses are now being promoted nationwide and can be applied for via the Traffic Management 12123 APP. I downloaded it immediately after getting home, so next time I can just show my phone in such situations. It's still recommended to keep the physical license in a fixed small drawer in the car and double-check before heading out. But if you really forget it, don't argue with the police—just cooperate with the verification and everything will be fine.
