I just had this situation last week, sweating bullets when I was stopped at the intersection. The officer had me recite my ID number to check the system, confirmed it wasn't unlicensed driving, and issued a 50-yuan ticket. If you've got the Traffic Management 12123 app on your phone, you can now pull up the electronic version of your license to show the officer—it's recognized nationwide! Remember, don't argue or lie; admitting fault can reduce trouble. You must bring the physical license to the traffic police station within three days, or the late fee doubles. After that, I stashed a copy in the car's glove box—if checked, just say the original is being reissued.
