Can driving license points be sold?
2 Answers
Driving license points cannot be sold. Traffic violations by motor vehicles are considered illegal acts, and selling motor vehicle driving license points constitutes a violation of public security laws, specifically providing false testimony. According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, this offense can result in detention for five to ten days and a fine. Below is relevant information about motor vehicle driving licenses: 1. A motor vehicle driving license has a total of 12 points: However, within each scoring cycle, only 11 points can be deducted for traffic violations, which does not affect the use of the driving license. 2. Deduction of all 12 points: If all 12 points are deducted within one scoring cycle, the driving license cannot be used normally. The license holder must participate in training and pass an examination administered by the vehicle management office to have the driving license reissued.
Honestly, selling driver's license points is illegal. Traffic laws clearly state that license points are meant to record your personal driving behavior, just like credit scores, to ensure we follow the rules. If points are freely bought and sold, high-risk drivers could evade punishment, which is not only unfair but also increases traffic accidents. I remember seeing in the news last year that someone was caught selling points—their license was directly revoked and they were fined several thousand yuan. Even worse, this behavior could lead to criminal liability, harming both the individual and social order. As regular drivers, I believe we should cherish our points, study traffic rules, and drive safely—that's the right path. If you're running low on points, you can take safety courses to earn some back—never consider this shady idea.
