be careful and double check
This is what I want to know. Has anyone bought a bike from taobao like this before? This stuff is so confusing. My residence permit is in Guangzhou, so where would I go to get a driver's license? It seems most posters on here are from Shanghai/Beijing. I don't want to get plates if it's impossible for me to get a DL.
