Driving a motor vehicle must adhere to the right-side traffic principle, as clearly stipulated in Article 35, Chapter 4 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China. Both motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles must follow right-side traffic, which means driving on the right side of the road in the direction of travel. Requirements for driving a motor vehicle: To drive a motor vehicle, one must legally obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. Drivers should operate motor vehicles according to the vehicle types specified on their driver's license and must carry the license with them while driving. The traffic management department of the public security authorities conducts regular reviews of motor vehicle driver's licenses in accordance with laws and administrative regulations. Individuals holding a foreign motor vehicle driver's license who meet the driving permit conditions specified by the public security department under the State Council and pass the assessment by the traffic management department of the public security authorities may be issued a Chinese motor vehicle driver's license. Before driving a motor vehicle on the road, the driver should thoroughly inspect the vehicle's safety and technical performance. It is prohibited to drive a motor vehicle with incomplete safety facilities or components that do not meet technical standards, posing potential safety hazards.
