Can Driving License Points Be Sold to Others?
3 Answers
Driving license points cannot be bought or sold, as trading driving license points is an illegal activity. The details of the penalties are as follows: 1. Helping others deduct points: For the first offense, the driving license will be confiscated for 6 months, and a fine of 2000 yuan will be imposed. If caught violating the law a second time, a fine of up to 5000 yuan will be imposed, along with 15 days of detention, revocation of the license, and a 5-year ban from taking the driving test. 2. Photo evidence: New regulations stipulate that within each cycle, a maximum of 3 driving licenses can be used to deduct points for one vehicle. Taking photo evidence is necessary. Staff will verify based on the photo on the driving license and the submitted photo. 3. The same driver can deduct points for 3 different license plates: In other words, if the same vehicle has 3 different drivers deducting points for it, the drivers of such vehicles will be considered as suspected replacements and placed on a 'blacklist,' subject to key supervision.
Driving license points are absolutely not for sale! Having driven for so many years, I deeply understand that points are personally tied to one's ID card. Buying or selling points directly violates traffic laws, as clearly stipulated in legal provisions. Once caught, the fine can be at least several hundred yuan, and in worse cases, the driver's license may be revoked, with credit records also affected. Recalling a case, a friend's buddy last year sold points for small gains, only to be caught by the police, fined an exorbitant amount, and even detained for a few days—now regretting it deeply. In fact, points are tools to monitor driving behavior. Selling points is like cheating, fostering dangerous driving habits that could lead to accidents, posing a threat to overall road safety. When driving, we should pay more attention to the rules. If we violate them, it's better to directly pay the fine or handle it through official channels, such as using mobile apps to take safety courses for point redemption—easy and hassle-free. Safety always comes first, and developing good habits is the most important.
I've heard many people consider selling their driver's license points to earn some extra cash, especially among young people who think it's a hassle-free idea. But after careful research, I found it's completely illegal. Points are locked with personal information, and buying or selling them constitutes fraud. Last year, a classmate of mine tried to help someone buy points, but the traffic police discovered the transaction through surveillance cameras. He was fined over a thousand yuan, had additional points deducted from his license, and almost lost it. More importantly, this practice dulls safety awareness, encouraging reckless driving without regard for risks. Our society needs everyone to be honest—if you lose too many points, just earnestly correct your mistakes. Nowadays, there are official ways to recover points, such as online training courses to supplement them, which are simple and convenient. Protect yourself and others as well.
