Are penalty points deducted from the vehicle owner's or the driver's license?

When a traffic police officer issues a ticket on the spot, the penalty points are deducted from the driver's license of the person involved (the driver). Below is some information about traffic violation handling: 1. Timeframe: The vehicle owner must go to the local traffic police station to handle the violation within 15 days of receiving the penalty notification text message after the violation. If it exceeds 15 days without handling, a late fee of 3% per day will be charged, but the late fee amount will not exceed double the original fine amount. Handling it early avoids unnecessary penalties. 2. Confirmation method: The fastest and most effective way to know whether you have committed a violation is to inquire about the violation at the vehicle management office or traffic police station. You need to bring important documents such as your driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and ID card. All three are indispensable, and it's best to prepare some cash as well, so that even if you find a violation record, you can immediately handle the relevant procedures.

Having driven for so many years, I'm well aware of these rules. Traffic violation points are deducted from the driver's license, not the vehicle owner's. Simply put, whoever commits the violation while driving gets their points deducted. The owner isn't necessarily the driver, so point deductions have nothing to do with the owner. For example, if a friend drives my car and violates traffic rules, the ticket will deduct their points. However, when handling the violation, the owner must also cooperate by providing evidence to prevent being wrongfully accused. I always make sure to clarify the driver's details when lending my car to avoid disputes in case of incidents. I remember a buddy who lent his car out, got into an accident, and the driver had 12 points deducted while the owner only paid a small fine without losing any points. So it's crucial to follow traffic rules—don't risk running red lights or speeding for small gains, protect your points and stay safe.

I just got my driver's license not long ago, so I'm particularly curious about this. Deducting points from the driver's license means deducting points from the person who is driving, and it has no direct relation to the car owner. If you borrow someone else's car and violate traffic rules, the points will be deducted from your license, and the owner's license won't be affected. I heard from a friend that the car owner might have issues with the insurance company, but the point deduction is targeted at the driver's license. Usually, I drive carefully to avoid violations, because if all the points are deducted, I'll have to retake the first subject of the driving test, which is such a hassle. When handling traffic violations, it's best to bring the driver's license holder along, the car owner doesn't need to go. Actually, if too many points are deducted, you'll have to attend a training course, which really wastes time. Everyone should pay attention to safe driving and be responsible for themselves.

As a car owner, these are the things I usually care about the most. Points deducted from the driver's license are for the person driving, not us owners. If you lend your car to someone else and they violate traffic rules, it's their driver's license points that will be deducted. The owner might only have to pay for civil compensation, but won't get points deducted. Once, my car was taken by a relative, and when it came back, there was a speeding ticket. In the end, it was the relative's points that got deducted, and my insurance premium increased a bit, but it didn't affect my driver's license. I suggest everyone confirm the other person is reliable before lending your car, and don't lend it to beginners or those who don't follow the rules. Regularly checking the vehicle's status and traffic violation records can also prevent problems. Too many points deducted might lead to license suspension, which is very troublesome.
