Can 12 points deducted for running two red lights be cleared by someone else?
2 Answers
Running two red lights resulting in 12 points deducted cannot be cleared by someone else. It is illegal to use another person's driver's license to handle traffic violations. Using someone else's driver's license for point deduction will be considered 'point trading' and will be subject to corresponding penalties. First-time offenders will face fines: Substituting for the actual driver to accept penalties and point deductions for traffic violations and profiting from it will result in a 6-month suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license and a fine. Repeat offenders will face detention: Substituting for the actual driver to accept penalties and point deductions for traffic violations and profiting from it, or organizing or introducing others to do so, will result in detention for up to 15 days, revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license, and a prohibition from obtaining a new driver's license for five years. Any illegal gains will be confiscated.
I have to talk to you about this issue because I've personally seen many drivers trying to evade responsibility by having others deduct points for them. Honestly, using a substitute to clear points doesn't work—it's illegal! According to traffic regulations, running a red light once deducts 6 points, and twice adds up to 12 points, meaning your license points are maxed out, and you could directly lose your driving privileges. If you ask someone else to take the blame for the points, not only will they be penalized, but you'll also be caught. The police can easily identify the real driver through surveillance footage and real-name registration. This could be considered providing false testimony or obstructing official duties, resulting in fines at the very least or even criminal risks, potentially affecting future insurance costs and credit records. My advice is to go directly to the traffic police department, admit the violation, and accept the point deductions honestly—or attend traffic school to earn the points back. Always pay attention to traffic signals while driving; don’t risk your life just to save time. Safety should always come first.
