Unlicensed driving is an illegal act, and the driver will face corresponding administrative penalties. Although the car owner's driver's license won't receive penalty points, the owner will be held accountable for failing to fulfill their supervisory responsibility over the vehicle. Definition of unlicensed driving: Unlicensed driving, as the name suggests, refers to operating a motor vehicle without obtaining a driver's license, driving a vehicle that doesn't match the licensed vehicle type, or driving with an expired license that hasn't been renewed with the corresponding legal certification. Unlicensed driving is an illegal act. Penalties for unlicensed driving: When driving a motor vehicle, one must carry their driver's license. Therefore, failing to carry a driver's license is an illegal act and should incur corresponding penalties. The handling procedure for not carrying a driver's license is as follows: Regardless of whether the driver committed any traffic violations, they will not be allowed to continue driving the vehicle. The traffic management department of the public security authority should impound the vehicle and require the driver to provide their driver's license.
