Can Electronic Driver's License Handle Violation Points Deduction?
2 Answers
Electronic driver's licenses can handle traffic violations, but since they are not yet widely adopted, they are only usable in specific cities. When driving without a physical license and being checked, if the local electronic license is valid, you can present the electronic license to pass. If the local area does not implement electronic licenses, unfortunately, the traffic police will temporarily impound the vehicle until you bring the physical license, and a fine of 50 yuan will be imposed. Violation Points Deduction: Whether electronic licenses can be used for violation points deduction depends on the region, as electronic licenses have not been adopted nationwide. It is reported that this document is only usable in cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, and Harbin. Drivers in these areas no longer need to carry a physical license when going out. If stopped by traffic police, they can simply take out their phones and show the electronic license. In other cities, traffic police departments have not fully accepted electronic licenses, so it is still necessary to carry a physical license when going out. Online Handling of License Points Deduction: In most cases, license points deduction cannot be handled online. Situations such as using someone else's license for points deduction, having doubts about the points deduction, handling fines with large amounts, or deductions exceeding 3 points cannot be processed online. Moreover, most cities currently do not support online handling of license points deduction. Therefore, for license violation points deduction, it is better to go to the traffic police station as soon as possible.
Electronic driver's licenses can indeed be used to handle traffic violation points deduction, which is particularly convenient on the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Last time I received a traffic ticket, I simply logged into the APP on my phone, uploaded my electronic license information, and after verifying the violation record, the system automatically deducted the points. The whole process took less than five minutes. Without an electronic driver's license, I would have had to go to the traffic management bureau and queue up, which is too troublesome. With technology advancing so rapidly and the government promoting digitalization, electronic driver's licenses have long been recognized. However, remember to always use the official APP and not trust third-party software. In case of poor network connection or a dead phone battery, it's best to save a photo of your license as a backup. Overall, handling non-on-site violations is completely hassle-free, and the system displays real-time updates when deducting points, making it convenient and efficient. However, for on-site violation handling, sometimes a paper copy might still be required as a precaution.
