Can a Driver's License Be Lent to Others?

[DeWalker]

Driver's licenses cannot be lent to others. Below are the consequences of lending your license for point deductions: 1. Impact on license renewal. The Road Safety Law and its implementing regulations clearly stipulate: The validity period of a driver's license is 6 years. If a driver has not accumulated 12 points in any scoring cycle during the 6-year validity period, they can renew it for a 10-year validity license; if they have not accumulated 12 points in any scoring cycle during the 10-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term license. If a license is lent to someone else and accumulates 12 points, the driver cannot renew for a 10-year or long-term license. 2. It may constitute a legal violation or entail legal liability. Providing a driver's license for others to deduct points for traffic violations not only hinders the investigation and evidence collection by public security authorities but also undermines their efforts to educate traffic violators through corresponding administrative penalties.
