Can someone else take the penalty points for running a red light?

Running a red light cannot have penalty points taken by someone else. The person must use their own ID card and handle it in person. If discovered by the vehicle management office, the motor vehicle driver's license will be revoked, and in severe cases, detention may also be imposed. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic cameras capture three photos as evidence for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light. How to check for red light violations: Common methods include the following: You can check for red light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After opening the app, log in using your ID card, find the option for violation handling and click on it. In the violation handling section, you can see the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. You can also check by visiting the service halls of traffic police branches in various cities and counties and using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities: find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query.
As someone who frequently handles traffic management affairs, I can clearly state that proxy point deduction is illegal. The current traffic management systems are equipped with facial recognition capabilities, and any mismatch between the actual driver and the person handling the penalty will be immediately detected. Last week, a young man tried to use his girlfriend's driver's license to deduct points, but the traffic police reviewed the surveillance footage and discovered it was him who ran the red light. In the end, both were taken to the police station for statements. More seriously, those caught using proxy point deduction will be placed on a key monitoring list, requiring ID checks and surveillance comparisons for any future violation handling. If you're caught running a red light, it's better to honestly accept the 6-point deduction and 200-yuan fine. Hiring a proxy or asking relatives to take the blame will only harm yourself and others.
