Will I be fined if I drive without carrying my driver's license?
2 Answers
If the vehicle is driven without carrying the vehicle registration certificate, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle, issue a warning or impose a fine of not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan, and deduct one point. More information about driving a motor vehicle is as follows: 1. When driving a motor vehicle on the road, the vehicle registration certificate shall be carried with the vehicle. 2. If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display a license plate, inspection qualification mark, insurance mark, or does not carry the vehicle registration certificate or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle and notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the relevant procedures. 3. After the traffic management department of the public security organ detains the vehicle, the party must provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the relevant procedures before the motor vehicle can be returned.
Driving without a driver's license can indeed result in a fine. I recall that regulations stipulate drivers must carry a valid license while operating a vehicle. If stopped by police without it, you may face an on-the-spot fine of 200 yuan and 1 penalty point. I learned this the hard way - once rushing out without my license, the officer verified my details and issued the fine. Though vehicle impoundment wasn't necessary, it wasted time and cost me points. Best to develop a habit of checking your license is in your wallet or car before leaving. Digital licenses are gaining popularity - many cities accept app displays, but don't over-rely as they may fail in areas with poor signals. These rules ensure safety by preventing unlicensed driving. Minor oversights cause major hassles - keeping a spare license in the glovebox adds peace of mind. Don't skip this step - it brings extra ease every drive.
