Is it illegal to cover your face while driving?

At present, there is no provision in traffic laws that covering your face will lead to a fine for driving. When the electronic probe shoots, only the license plate number of the car will be extracted, and the driver's face will not be photographed, so there is no need to worry about being punished for wearing a mask.

The penalties for illegal shooting by electronic probes are as follows:

1. If the pictures of traffic technical monitoring evidence are not recorded in the driver's images of motor vehicles, or are unclear and incomplete after examination, the owner or manager of motor vehicles shall be punished according to law, and no score shall be scored. If a clear and complete image of a motor vehicle driver is recorded in the evidence screen of traffic technical monitoring, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall punish the motor vehicle driver and score points according to law.

2. If the motor vehicle driver refuses to accept the treatment without justifiable reasons, but the evidence provided by the motor vehicle owner or collected by the traffic management department of the public security organ can prove that he has committed traffic violations, the motor vehicle driver shall be punished and scored according to law.

3. If the driver intentionally shields his face to avoid traffic technical monitoring during driving, the traffic police department will collect relevant evidence and severely deal with the violator according to law. In addition, the illegal monitoring records of key vehicles are needed regardless of whether the driver was photographed at that time and whether the image was clear and complete. When dealing with traffic violations, the unit to which the vehicle belongs must issue a written certificate to determine the driver, and punish and score according to the regulations.
