Is it legal for traffic police to check motorcycles in rural markets?

Legal. As long as you drive a motor vehicle on the road, the traffic police have the right to manage it. Many motorcycles on rural roads without a license are traffic violations, and they will only be punished if they are investigated by the traffic police. When a motorcycle is found in driving without a license by the traffic police, it can be fined 200-2000 yuan and detained 15 days. The specific situation can be determined according to the illegal consequences of driving without a license. Involving serious traffic accidents, it is necessary to investigate the legal responsibility of the relevant personnel.

Legal analysis

(1) driving without a license refers to a motor vehicle driver who has obtained a motor vehicle driver's license without passing the driving skills training and examination in a special driver training school. (2) If the model of the motor vehicle driven by the driver exceeds the permitted driving model approved by the driver's license (refer to the following table "permitted driving model and code" for comparison), it will be treated as driving without a license (for example, only those with C license drive cars with B license, or those with B license drive cars with A license, etc.). (3) Forged or altered driver's license or driver's license obtained by other illegal means has been cancelled, withheld or revoked. (4) The driver's age or health condition does not meet the driving conditions (in most cases, the actual age exceeds the maximum age limit of the type of vehicle to be driven, and if the driver is under age, it will be treated as illegally obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, which is listed as item (4)). (five) driving a civil motor vehicle with a military or armed police driver's license (except for a special driver's license). (six) driving in China with an overseas motor vehicle driving license. Driving without a license's behavior is a serious violation of road traffic safety, and legal responsibility should be investigated according to the actual situation involved. Those who have not caused major accidents also need to be investigated for administrative punishment. Under specific circumstances, the traffic police department can investigate the scene of the accident and then investigate the relevant legal responsibilities.
