On September 12, during a routine inspection at the exit of Taling toll station on the Hangruo Expressway, Jiangxi highway traffic police found that a driver was unable to produce his driving license. When questioned, the driver made various excuses before finally admitting that he had never obtained a driving license throughout his fourteen years of driving. When questioned by the highway traffic police, the driver gave evasive answers. It is understood that this driver, Li, had come from Henan to Hangzhou to sign a contract; he hesitated for a long time without providing direct answers to the questions posed by the highway traffic police. Traffic police: Do you have a driver’s license? Driver: I forgot my driver’s license. Traffic police officer: It’s okay if you forgot; I can help you look it up. Do you have a driver's license? If you don’t have a driver’s license, you are not qualified to drive and are not allowed to operate a vehicle. Right? You must be aware yourself whether you have a driver’s license or not Driver: Driver’s license? Heh… He had been driving without a license for 14 years; after being caught, he still continued to act as he pleased. Subsequently, the highway traffic police checked the driver’s ID and found that Li, the driver, didn’t have a driver’s license at all. According to the driver Li, he has been driving for 13 or 14 years. I signed up at a driving school in 2008, but I failed the final exam 11 times, so I got so frustrated that I gave up trying. He had been caught driving without a license before, but continued to do so despite the time pressure during the construction period. Since then, the driver has kept insisting that he is very busy and cannot be detained. Driver: I’ve asked someone to wait here for me to sign the contract; it’s a business that generates around 800,000 to 900,000 per day. Police officer: So you think you can’t afford to delay even for a day? Driver: Yes, if I get detained, all my plans will be ruined. Driver Li was placed under administrative detention for 7 days and fined 1,000 yuan; no matter how busy one is, road traffic safety must not be ignored. Therefore, the highway traffic police imposed a penalty on him in accordance with the law. Yang Ming, deputy head of the Second Brigade of the Third Detachment of the Jiangxi Provincial High-Speed Traffic Police, said that driver Li’s behavior is not only irresponsible toward his own safety but also poses a threat to other road users. In the end, he was sentenced to 7 days of administrative detention and a fine of 1,000 yuan.
