it is an offence to drive without a license. Even u forgot to
bring it, it is also considered as "without".
u need your "xing shi zheng" also, which is no matter who's
driving, this pass should be matched with the car. A valid driving
license allow u to drive a car on the road. A valid "xing shi
zheng" allows a speicfic car (every vehicle will be issued one pass
after the car is sold) to be driven on the road. If u dun have one
of this 2 when a TP ask for it, he can charge u.
in singapore, the law is strict, but the officers are
reasonable.
in China, the officers love to catch drivers, cos if they hit thier
quota, they get extra bonus at the end of the yr.
in Cambodia, under most situations, a USD 5 dollar note is a one
time driving licence.
