What to Do If Your Driver's License Has Expired Without Annual Inspection?
2 Answers
If the expiration period is within one year, you just need to go through the normal process, which is the same as the annual inspection procedure from last year. You need to bring your ID card and driver's license to the local vehicle management office where the license was issued to participate in a learning session. After passing the subject one test, your driver's license will be restored. A B2 driver's license allows you to drive heavy-duty, medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, and medium-sized specialized operation vehicles. Most heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks are primarily trucks. The validity periods are 6 years, 10 years, and long-term, respectively.
I once had an issue with an expired driver's license, and looking back on that experience still gives me chills. One day while driving, I was stopped by traffic police who discovered my license had been expired for several months. I was fined on the spot, had points deducted, and worst of all, couldn't drive my car home—had to take a taxi instead. Later, I went to the DMV to sort it out: first a medical checkup at the hospital to get a report, then queuing to submit documents and fill out forms. It took a week to get my new license. The whole process was time-consuming and laborious, not to mention disruptive to work. If only I'd paid attention to the expiration date earlier—driver's licenses typically need renewal every 6 years, and setting reminders on your phone can prevent forgetfulness. A reminder to everyone: document management is about forming good habits. Make it a routine to check your license when you handle your vehicle's annual inspection to avoid risks. Never take the chance of driving with expired documents—safety should always come first.
