I forgot about my driver's license expiration for a whole month last time, which gave me a real scare. I rushed to the DMV to handle it. They said being overdue by a month wasn't too late, but I had to pay a fine, usually between 100 to 500 RMB depending on city regulations. Just bring your ID card and two passport photos, and it's done. Don't drive there—take a bus or taxi for safety. By the way, a reminder for everyone: driver's license renewal cycles are every 6 or 10 years. Set a reminder on your phone calendar to avoid forgetting again. The longer you delay, the higher the risk—getting caught could mean points deducted, affecting future insurance purchases or even job opportunities. It's not worth the risk. Now I check my license status every year for peace of mind.
