Can 3 points deducted for no annual inspection be deducted from someone else's points?

It's okay to have 3 points deducted, as long as the fine is paid. The scoring system will automatically reset the previous deduction points (after the fine is paid) at the start of the next scoring cycle (i.e., the following year). Here is relevant information: 1. Driver's License: The official abbreviation for a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "license," is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive on the road is the "driver's license." This indicates that a driver's license is a "certificate of permission." The permission to drive is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. 2. Calculation method for the driver's license scoring cycle: The scoring cycle starts from the date the driver's license is obtained. For example, if the license was obtained on November 4th, then November 4th marks the beginning of a scoring cycle, and the cycle ends on November 3rd of the following year. If the points deducted within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and the fine is paid before the end of the cycle, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next scoring cycle. Any unpaid fines will result in the points not being reset at the start of the next cycle, and additional points will be accumulated on top of the existing ones. If the total exceeds 12 points, the driver will need to undergo training to eliminate the points.
Last time I chatted with my old classmate who's a traffic cop, I learned that if a vehicle fails its annual inspection and gets caught, it's indeed a 3-point deduction, but these points must be borne by the actual driver. For example, if a friend is driving your car when it's inspected, the points go on their record. Some people try to cheat by having others take the points for them, but this trick doesn't work anymore—the traffic management system has been upgraded with facial recognition that catches every case. Last year, my neighbor was fined and had it recorded in their credit history for lending their license to take points for someone else. I sincerely advise all car owners: getting your annual inspection on time is the right way. If you delay the inspection for more than three months, the vehicle can be forcibly scrapped. It's just not worth losing your car to save a few hundred yuan on inspection fees.
Last time when I helped my relative deal with traffic violations, I specifically consulted the DMV. The penalty for driving an uninspected vehicle is quite severe. The law clearly states that the driver at the wheel bears responsibility - absolutely no substituting someone else's license is allowed. Nowadays, handling violations requires the actual offender to present their ID for facial recognition, and the system cross-checks with surveillance footage from the time of the offense. In our neighborhood, there was a car owner caught using someone else's points - not only was there a 2000 yuan fine, but the person who lent their license had it suspended for six months. Another important reminder: if an accident occurs when the vehicle's insurance has lapsed, the insurance company won't pay a single cent, and those losses could far exceed the cost of an annual inspection.
