Will the driver's license be revoked if I haven't driven since passing the test?

Not driving for a long time may lead to revocation of the driver's license: Validity period of the driver's license: After obtaining the driver's license for the first time, many people do not start driving immediately and leave the license unused. If the driver's license remains idle for too long, it may be revoked because there is a validity period for the driver's license, which is six years for the first-time issuance. Grace period for license renewal: For some car owners who cannot renew their licenses in time, there is a grace period of one year. If the driver's license expires, the renewal can be done within one year after expiration. However, if this grace period is also missed, the license holder will have to retake the test to restore the driver's license. Additional information: Even if you haven't driven for a year after getting the license, the probation period is considered passed as long as it has been more than one year since obtaining the license and no more than 12 points were deducted during that time. Not driving does not affect the probation period, provided that you have not helped others deduct points, which means the probation period can be passed successfully.
After I got my driver's license, I didn't drive for a long time and was quite worried at the time. Later, I learned that the license wouldn't be revoked simply for not driving, unless it expired without renewal. When the driver's license expires, you need to go to the vehicle management office to get a new one. Usually, the first license is valid for six years, and if you don't renew it after six years, it will be canceled. So I remind myself to renew it on time, otherwise it would be troublesome if it really gets revoked. There's no problem with the license itself, but driving skills can become rusty. Not practicing for a long time can be dangerous on the road, so it's recommended to find opportunities occasionally to get behind the wheel and maintain your feel for driving. The current policy is also convenient. When renewing the license, just bring your ID card and photos for a physical examination. Don't delay until the last minute and cause trouble. Safety first, after all.
