2 Answers
Whether you have violated traffic regulations or not, the vehicle will be impounded until you provide your driver's license to retrieve it. Additionally, you will receive a warning, a fine ranging from 20 to 2000 yuan, and a deduction of one point. Below is some relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Definition: A driver's license, officially known as a motor vehicle driving license, is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. 2. Ineligibility for Application: Individuals with organic heart disease, epilepsy, Meniere's disease, vertigo, hysteria, paralysis agitans, mental illness, dementia, or neurological diseases affecting limb movement that hinder safe driving. Those who have not yet quit the habit of ingesting or injecting drugs or long-term use of dependency-inducing psychotropic substances. Those whose motor vehicle driving license has been revoked for less than two years.
I've been in this situation before. Once, I was in a hurry to leave and forgot my driver's license on the hallway cabinet. When I was pulled over by the traffic police for inspection, I immediately explained the reason sincerely and showed them the electronic driver's license on the Traffic Management 12123 APP on my phone. Nowadays, electronic driver's licenses are universally accepted nationwide. The traffic police checked my ID number to confirm the information and then let me go. However, according to the law, even if you have an electronic driver's license, forgetting to bring the physical copy can still result in a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. I recommend everyone to register for an electronic driver's license in advance and also buy a license card holder to attach to your car keys, so you can check and confirm it's with you every time before driving. If you're really close to home, you can ask your family to take a photo of the license and send it via WeChat, but this can only serve as supplementary proof.
