Can someone else handle traffic violations with my driver's license?
2 Answers
No, someone else cannot handle traffic violations with your driver's license. According to regulations, the registered holder of the driver's license must personally present their ID card and driver's license at the vehicle management office to apply for processing the violation and point deduction procedures. Traffic violation handling process: Prepare materials. If the violation was only captured by electronic surveillance (e.g., traffic cameras), only the vehicle registration certificate is required. For speeding violations, you need to prepare the vehicle registration certificate, driver's license, and one copy of each; if you received a parking ticket, you need to bring the penalty decision notice and vehicle registration certificate. Traffic violation processing procedure: Investigation and evidence collection, notification of the penalty matters, reasons, basis, and relevant rights. Listen to statements, defenses, or hold hearings, then make a penalty decision. If the violation requires suspension of the driver's license, it must be suspended according to regulations. After the suspension period expires, the driver's license can be retrieved with the "Driver's License Suspension Execution Certificate".
I've encountered this issue before and must seriously remind you that using someone else's driver's license to handle traffic violations is strictly prohibited by traffic regulations. A driver's license is tied to personal identity information, and violation points and responsibilities must be borne by the license holder themselves. If you let a friend or another person handle it for you, it will be considered impersonation and may result in double fines, license suspension, or credit record risks. I've studied cases before, and this behavior can easily lead to more trouble, such as on-the-spot penalties when traffic police verify identity inconsistencies. If you truly don't have time to handle it, I recommend finding legal alternatives, such as writing a power of attorney to have it processed at a traffic police window or using the 12123 App for online authorization. Safe driving is key—don't lose big for small gains. Handling it compliantly early on can save you a lot of hassle.
