What to Do If You Forget to Bring Your Vehicle License and Get Checked by Traffic Police?

Solution for forgetting to bring the vehicle license when checked by traffic police: Provide the electronic vehicle license and the driver's ID card to the traffic police. According to China's "Road Traffic Safety Law," drivers must carry their driving license with them while driving. Failure to do so may result in a fine of 50 yuan and 1 penalty point, and the vehicle may even be impounded. With the "electronic driving license," you can travel without the original copy, and showing the electronic license will not incur penalties. Below is an introduction to the vehicle driving license: 1. Definition of a motor vehicle driving license: It refers to the legal certificate issued by the administrative department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills and passed the examination, permitting them to drive a certain type of motor vehicle. 2. Examination subjects for the motor vehicle driving license: Include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving).
Last time I drove without carrying my vehicle license, and got pulled over by traffic police. Thinking back to that scene still gives me a bit of a scare. I immediately pulled over, stayed calm, and directly apologized to the officer for not having the document with me, proactively handing over my ID card and driver's license. After checking my information and verifying it in the system, he warned me to always carry it in the future, this time just giving me a verbal warning without a fine. The officer also reminded me that many apps like Traffic Management 12123 now allow storing an electronic version of the vehicle license, which can be shown with just a swipe on the phone - super convenient. I went home and immediately registered and linked it, so I don't have to worry about forgetting it anymore. Remember this lesson: developing a habit of checking your documents before driving is the most reliable approach. Safety first - don't wait until something happens to regret it.
