What to Do If Your Driver's License Expired One Month Ago?
2 Answers
If your driver's license has expired for one month, you should promptly go to the vehicle management office to apply for a replacement. Below are the key points to note regarding an expired driver's license: 1. Legal Provisions: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, if you fail to renew your license for more than one year after its expiration, your motor vehicle driver's license will be automatically revoked; if it exceeds two years, you must pass the subject one exam to restore the normal use of your license. For those whose license has been revoked for more than two years, a new application is required. 2. Invalid License: It is especially important to note that driving with an expired license is prohibited. Driving with an expired license is considered driving without a license or as unlicensed driving. Driving a motor vehicle under such circumstances may result in a fine and/or detention for up to 15 days. In cases of major traffic accidents involving personal injury or death, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law.
Having an expired driver's license for a month is quite troublesome. I also realized mine was expired after a month. Quickly bring your ID card, expired driver's license, and medical examination report to the local DMV for renewal. The queues there are incredibly long. I was fined a small amount, around 200 yuan, and was advised not to delay too long to avoid retaking the written test. The process is simple: fill out a form, pay a fee, and wait a few days to get your new license. Don't drive there—if caught, the fine can be hefty, ranging from 500 to 2000 yuan, and your car might be impounded. Remember to check the expiration date and set a phone reminder to avoid extra costs and risks. Everyone should regularly check their document dates—don't procrastinate on this. Safety first, after all.
