Can Only Three Driver's Licenses Be Used to Deduct Points for One Vehicle?
2 Answers
A vehicle's traffic violations can only be handled by a maximum of three driver's licenses for point deduction. If a fourth driver's license is used to deduct points for the vehicle, or if a license is used to deduct points for a fourth vehicle with a different license plate number, the driver's license or vehicle will be locked. To unlock it, the driver or owner must undergo a suspicion review at the local traffic police station or electronic penalty station. Only after the traffic police confirm that the driver or owner is not maliciously trading points can the license or vehicle be unlocked. Below are the details: Penalty: If more than three drivers handle traffic violations for the same license plate vehicle within one point-deduction cycle, the system will suspend the violation handling service. If one driver's license is used to handle violations for more than three different license plate vehicles not owned by the driver within one point-deduction cycle, the system will suspend the violation handling service. Additionally, the case will be flagged for a suspected license investigation. Legal Analysis: Starting from December 27, 2017, with the introduction of the latest traffic regulations, the practice of using another person's license to deduct points has become history. The new regulations stipulate that a vehicle can only be assigned points to a maximum of three driver's licenses per cycle. Staff will verify the identity by comparing the photo on the driver's license with the photo taken on-site.
I've been driving for over a decade, and this question comes up frequently. According to regulations, a vehicle can only use a maximum of three different driver's licenses to handle penalty points for traffic violations within one year. This is to prevent behaviors like point substitution. The system monitors vehicle violation records, and if more than three different licenses are used, it may be considered abuse, potentially leading to additional fines or investigations. In practical operations, such as when handling violations through traffic management apps, there are prompts indicating the limit on the number of times this can be done. My advice is to follow the rules while driving to reduce violations. Points are valuable, and if you lose too many, retaking the driving test and going through the learning process again can be quite troublesome. Safe driving not only saves money and hassle but also avoids unnecessary legal risks. Developing good habits is what matters most.
