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

For handling traffic violation points deduction, someone else's driver's license can be used to deduct the points. Points Deduction: A vehicle can only use three driver's licenses to deduct violation points within one year, and the person must bring their own driver's license to handle the points deduction. The scoring cycle of the driver's license is calculated from the day the driver's license is obtained. Points Reset: The points on a driver's license are reset once a year. The year is not a calendar year but starts from the day the driver obtains the license and ends on the same day the following year. Therefore, the reset time is different for each person. Within one year, no matter how many points are deducted, as long as it does not reach 12 points, the points will be automatically reset the next year, returning to 12 points.
I can't help but share this story—last year, my buddy got into serious trouble for taking penalty points for someone else. His colleague urgently needed to deduct 6 points from his license, but two months after handling it, the traffic police called. Surveillance footage showed he wasn’t the one driving, landing him directly on the system’s blacklist. Enforcement is strict now—in-person processing requires ID verification and facial recognition, and even company fuel reimbursements get cross-checked with driving records. Don’t trust those online scalper ads; the repair shop owner downstairs said he saw a customer fined ¥5,000 last year for point trading, plus a six-month license suspension. Truth is, you should own your violations—lending points is like planting a landmine, risking issues with vehicle inspections or license renewals. The point-deduction-through-education system is fair—studying for the test beats loopholes any day.
