Can a driver's license linked to a non-owned vehicle deduct points?
2 Answers
Points can be deducted. Bring the relevant evidence to the traffic violation processing window to handle the point deduction. When handling violations for a non-owned motor vehicle, you need to bring your own ID card and the vehicle's motor vehicle license, as well as the violator's driver's license and ID card to the traffic management department's violation processing window. Additional information: 1. Vehicle violations: Refers to motor vehicle actions that violate the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, cancellation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for those who constitute a crime. 2. Relevant regulations: Based on the severity of road traffic violations, the point deduction values are: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. For motor vehicle drivers' road traffic violations, penalties and point deductions are executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver commits two or more violations at once, the points should be calculated separately and accumulated.
Regarding whether a driver's license can be used to deduct points for a non-personal vehicle, this is something I've always paid close attention to, as I've seen many people suffer consequences for point-deduction fraud. The key point is that traffic regulations require point deductions to be applied to the actual driver—meaning whoever was driving the vehicle is responsible. The vehicle binding feature is designed to facilitate handling violations, such as paying fines or fees, but not to allow someone else's license to be used as a substitute. Point-deduction fraud is now strictly monitored, with cameras equipped with facial recognition technology. If caught, fines can reach thousands of yuan, and additional points may be deducted or the license even revoked. I recommend that when binding a vehicle, you must confirm that the violation was committed while you were driving before handling it. Don’t take shortcuts—this affects personal credit records and can impact future car purchases or insurance applications. If you must bind a vehicle, it’s best to only do so for close friends or family members who frequently drive it, to minimize risks.
