This is a good question. If you encounter a police officer, do not handle it on your own. Contact the car dealership immediately.

Interpretation of the situation where the friend above violated the law and turned. It's definitely not that the police officer is too kind, or the elder sister is too beautiful. The police officer must know that mainland residents do not have an international driver's license, so why bother detaining you. The mainland is not a contracting party to the International Driving Permit, and the International Driving Permit must be presented together with the local driver's license to be valid. Why not handle it, because there is no specific handling clause. Or understand it as a blind spot in the regulations ? Taiwan(China) Q&A
