Can someone else's driver's license be used to deduct points for traffic violations?

No. It is not allowed to use someone else's driver's license to deduct points for traffic violations, as this constitutes illegal behavior. Using another person's driver's license to deduct points will be considered 'buying or selling points' and will result in corresponding penalties. Legal basis: Article 60 of the 'Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that in any of the following circumstances, the offender shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days and shall also be fined: concealing, transferring, selling, or destroying property seized, sealed, or frozen by administrative law enforcement agencies in accordance with the law; knowingly harboring, transferring, or selling stolen goods; or if a criminal under legal control, deprived of political rights, on probation, or temporarily serving a sentence outside prison, or a person under criminal compulsory measures, violates laws, administrative regulations, or the supervision and management regulations of relevant departments of the State Council.
I've encountered this issue several times, and friends have also wanted to borrow my driver's license to deduct points, but it's really not allowed. Traffic regulations clearly stipulate that using someone else's license to deduct violation points is a serious illegal act. For example, last year I checked the regulations from the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and this behavior is considered proxy point deduction fraud, which is regarded as obstructing official duties. If caught, you may face hefty fines, license suspension, or even short-term detention – the risks are significant. I recommend obeying the law and taking responsibility for your own violations. You can handle it through official channels, such as attending study sessions and tests at the traffic police station, which can both deduct points and teach you safety knowledge. When driving, always pay attention to speed limit signs and traffic cameras to avoid unnecessary violations. This way, you can drive safely while protecting yourself.
