Can Someone Else Take the Points for a Speeding Ticket Capturing My Face?
2 Answers
Violations captured with facial recognition cannot have points deducted by someone else. The offending driver must use their own driver's license to handle the violation, especially for speeding, as high-definition surveillance photos are taken, and the driver's image must be verified on-site. Therefore, the violator must personally process the violation with their own license. Below is relevant information: Point Deduction by Proxy: When your own driver's license points are insufficient, someone else can take the points. Both the violator and the proxy must go to the DMV together, and the proxy must provide a written statement agreeing to the point deduction. However, note that a single vehicle can only be linked to 3 driver's licenses, and a single driver's license can only be linked to 3 vehicles. Exceeding this limit will trigger a system alert and the license will be locked. Required documents for processing point deductions are as follows: Original vehicle registration of the offending vehicle; Original ID of the person taking the points; Original driver's license of the person taking the points; The person taking the points must be present in person.
Let me put it straight: if your face is captured by the camera, you absolutely cannot ask someone else to take the penalty points for you. The system now uses advanced facial recognition technology—it scans and instantly confirms your identity, so the penalty will land squarely on you. I had a friend who tried to get a relative to take the blame, got caught, and ended up with even harsher penalties—totally not worth it. When driving, it's better to stay steady—keep your speed under control and within limits. Not only does it keep you safe, but it also saves you the headache of fines. Build good habits, like setting speed alerts on your navigation or driving in eco mode—it really saves a lot of trouble. The key is simple: don’t speed. Getting home safely is what matters most.
