Can someone else take the penalty points for a DiDi operating vehicle's traffic violation?
3 Answers
No, having someone else take the penalty points is illegal. When capturing traffic violations, not only the vehicle but also the driver is photographed. When handling the violation, the driver must present their own driver's license. The staff will strictly check whether the person clearing the points is the one who committed the violation at the time. Only after confirming that the person is the violator and that there are no issues with the driver's license and vehicle registration will the penalty points be processed. Additional information: 1. If the penalty points do not reach 12 in a scoring cycle: If the driver's penalty points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and the fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next cycle. 2. If the accumulated points reach 12 in a scoring cycle: If a driver's accumulated points reach 12 in a scoring cycle, the public security traffic management department will confiscate their driver's license. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to receive seven days of education on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, and must also take the subject one exam. 3. If the points reach 12 and the driver refuses to participate in the education: If a driver's points reach 12 and they refuse to participate in the education or take the exam as notified by the traffic management department of the public security authority, their driver's license will be suspended by the traffic management department of the public security authority.
As a seasoned Didi driver with years of experience, I have deep feelings about this issue. Buying or selling violation points? Absolutely not! Last year, a fellow driver was fined thousands of yuan for this and almost had his license revoked, losing his livelihood. Didi vehicles are for commercial use, and once points are deducted for violations, the platform will strictly investigate. Buying points is not only an illegal transaction but may also involve falsifying evidence. Getting caught can result in fines, license suspension, or even detention. The platform’s policy clearly requires drivers to handle violations themselves and not seek substitutes. If you encounter a violation, I recommend using the penalty function in the Didi app to pay fines or request a review—it’s hassle-free and legal. Never take shortcuts by turning to scalpers; the risks are too high, and the consequences can instantly affect your family’s livelihood. The best approach is to develop safe driving habits to minimize violations.
From the perspective of us passengers, Didi drivers' traffic violations directly impact travel safety. Having someone else take the penalty points is absolutely unacceptable! This illegal and dangerous practice would reduce drivers' sense of responsibility if penalty points could be arbitrarily transferred, increasing accident risks. Traffic regulations apply equally to all vehicles - point transfer constitutes fraud and will face severe penalties from traffic authorities, with fines potentially exceeding thousands, and serious cases may even affect platform accounts. Didi strictly prohibits this behavior and monitors drivers' violation records. Safety should always come first - drivers must properly handle violations through official channels like the 12123 traffic management app. Don't take this risk, it benefits everyone. Maintaining road safety is our shared responsibility.
