Can driving license points be sold? Will it have any impact in the future?
2 Answers
Driving license points cannot be bought or sold. Trading driving license points is an illegal activity and will have consequences in the future. Penalties involved: If you help others eliminate points by using your license, your license will be suspended and you will be fined. Accepting traffic violation penalties and points on behalf of the actual driver for economic gain will result in a 6-month suspension of your motor vehicle driver's license and a fine. Impact on the future: In severe cases, you may face detention for up to 15 days, revocation of your motor vehicle driver's license, and be barred from obtaining a new driver's license for five years. Having a criminal record may affect your descendants' political background checks in the future, and the revocation of your driver's license will also significantly impact your daily life, causing inconvenience.
I think the question of whether driving license points can be sold is quite worth discussing. As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I've heard of people privately trading points, like helping a friend take the blame for a traffic violation to earn some extra cash. But this is definitely not allowed—buying and selling points is prohibited by law, and traffic police departments enforce this strictly. If caught, not only will your points be reset to zero, but you could also face fines ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan. In more severe cases, your license could be revoked. The consequences can be long-lasting, such as making it harder to pass the driving test again, extended review periods, potential increases in insurance premiums, or even affecting job prospects, as some positions require a clean driving record. I once knew someone who got caught helping others erase points and now deeply regrets it. Honestly, dealing with violations the proper way is simple—just pay the fine at the traffic police station or attend safety courses to reduce points. There's really no need to take such risks. In short, don't be tempted by small gains; driving legally is the way to stay worry-free.
