Can only three driver's licenses be deducted for one vehicle?

A vehicle registration certificate can only use a maximum of three driver's licenses for point deduction. Traffic regulations stipulate that one driver's license can only deduct points for three vehicles within one settlement period (one year); a vehicle can also only use three different driver's licenses for point deduction. When deducting points, the driver must personally present their license to do so. There are two channels for real-name binding: the traffic police penalty window or the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app. The details are as follows: 1. Traffic police penalty window: First, complete real-name registration. You can bind 1-3 non-personally owned vehicles, with a historical cumulative binding limit of no more than 5 vehicles (including those already bound on the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app); the same vehicle can only be bound by a maximum of 3 users simultaneously. 2. Traffic Management 12123 mobile app: Only allows binding of personally owned vehicles and 1 non-personally owned vehicle. The bound personally owned vehicle must be a small car or a small new energy vehicle; additionally, the owner of the bound vehicle must be a registered user on the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app or the comprehensive traffic safety service management platform. After binding, electronic police violation records for the corresponding vehicle can be processed.
I've been driving for many years and often hear people say that a car can only register three driver's licenses for handling penalty points, but this is completely wrong. The vehicle itself has no point deduction limit; points are deducted from the individual driver's license. For example, if my wife and I share a family car and she gets caught speeding, her license gets points deducted; if my friend borrows the car for a road trip and parks illegally, his license will also get points deducted. Each driver's license has a maximum of 12 points per cycle, and exceeding this will result in the license being suspended and requiring study and testing. If a car is frequently lent out, multiple people's licenses may have points deducted, far exceeding three. I recommend car owners install a dashcam to record who is driving and regularly check points and fines on the Traffic Management 12123 app. Maintain good driving habits and avoid breaking rules for momentary convenience. This can reduce unnecessary trouble and safety risks.
From my understanding of traffic regulations, the notion that a single vehicle can only have three licenses deducted is a misconception. Deduction of points is applied to the driver's license, and there is no limit to the number of people associated with a single vehicle. For instance, if different individuals driving the same vehicle commit violations such as running red lights or speeding, each driver involved will have points deducted from their respective licenses, with each license having a maximum of 12 points. The vehicle is merely a tool; the points are deducted from the person. A related topic is that the points are reset annually, but exceeding 12 points will result in the temporary suspension of the driver's license. I recommend that vehicle owners educate their friends or family members on adhering to traffic rules when using the car, such as avoiding drunk driving or speeding, otherwise multiple drivers' licenses could be affected, impacting their ability to travel. Regularly checking one's points is an essential habit.
