Can Someone Else Take Points Off My Driver's License?

[Sherri]

Here is the introduction to whether someone else can take points off your driver's license: 1. Currently, points on a driver's license cannot be transferred to someone else. The person who commits the violation must have their own points deducted. Having someone else take the points is illegal. 2. The deduction of points from a driver's license is recorded. If you sell your points to someone else, the system will automatically assume that the license holder is the person responsible for the violation. 3. If the person who buys the points commits other illegal acts, such as hit-and-run, in addition to the traffic violation, the person who sold the points may bear corresponding legal liabilities. Additional information: Here is why you should not help others remove points from their license: 1. It is illegal. 2. There are restrictions on removing points from a driver's license. 3. If the driver's violation involves a traffic accident, they may bear corresponding legal liabilities. 4. Your available points will decrease. If you commit a violation yourself and don't have enough remaining points, you will have to retake the written test (Subject 1).

I've been driving for over twenty years and have seen many friends get into serious trouble trying to help others deduct points. Letting someone else use your points to handle their traffic violations might sound simple, but it's actually illegal. In China, traffic laws strictly prohibit this practice. If caught, fines are the least of your worries—you could face detention or even have your license revoked. My neighbor once did this, lending points to an acquaintance who ran a red light and got caught. Both of them ended up in the police station and were fined 5,000 yuan. Points aside, the real issue is that it encourages reckless driving habits and emboldens road ragers. I think it's best to steer clear of such schemes. Instead, focus on learning safe driving techniques, like maintaining a safe distance and obeying speed limits, to avoid or minimize point deductions. Driving is a responsibility—don’t compromise your principles for convenience. Safety should always come first.
