Are There Consequences for Selling Driver's License Points?
1 Answers
The consequences of selling driver's license points: 1. Both buying and selling points can lead to the leakage of personal information. If a driver seeks to buy points from a 'point broker,' they must provide their vehicle information. During this process, the broker may resell this information to criminals. The buyer may not only face phone harassment but also risk having their information used to forge license plates for other vehicles, leading to illegal activities such as vehicle cloning. For the seller, handing over their license to a broker for point deduction directly exposes their personal information. 2. Moreover, buying and selling points is illegal. Traffic police authorities state that if caught, both the broker, intermediary, buyer, and seller of points violate Article 52 of the Public Security Management Law, facing detention of 10 to 15 days and fines up to 1,000 yuan. For minor cases, the penalty is 5 to 10 days of detention and fines up to 500 yuan. Even helping friends or acquaintances without monetary exchange is illegal and punishable. 3. The traffic police also emphasize that beyond specific penalties, if the buyer commits other illegal acts alongside traffic violations, the seller may bear corresponding legal liabilities.
