What to Do When Stopped by Traffic Police Without a Driver's License

[Morales]

First, explain the reason to the traffic police. If you have your ID card, you can present it, as the ID card can be used to verify your driver's license information. If you don't have any identification documents, the traffic police will impound your vehicle, impose a fine of 200 yuan, and deduct 1 point from your license. You will need to bring your driver's license to the traffic police station and receive the corresponding penalty before you can retrieve your car. Uses of a Driver's License: 1. Proof of Authorization: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving recklessly could lead to accidents. Generally, people without a license are not allowed to drive on the road. For those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive on the road is the 'driver's license.' 2. Purchasing Train Tickets: When buying train tickets, if you forget or lose your ID card, you can present your driver's license instead to purchase tickets. 3. Hospital Registration: When registering at a hospital, if you don't have your ID card, you can present your driver's license at the counter to register, serving the same purpose as an ID card. 4. Hotel Check-In: When traveling or on business trips and needing to stay at a hotel, if you forget your ID card, you can use your driver's license as a substitute for identification.
