Traffic violations can indeed be handled by someone other than the vehicle owner. If you have friends in the area where the violation occurred, you can directly send the original or copies of documents such as the violation notice, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and ID card to your friend, and ask them to handle it on your behalf. Below is an extended introduction: Traffic violation handling procedures: The general procedure applies in situations where, according to laws and regulations, penalties such as fines, temporary suspension or revocation of the driver's license, or fines for organizations are imposed. In such cases, an investigation must be conducted, evidence collected, and the penalty decision made following the general procedure.
Last time I dealt with a traffic violation, I was also confused about whether it's possible if it's not the vehicle owner. So I tried it myself once - I was too busy with work to go to the traffic police station, so I asked my brother to handle it with a copy of my ID card and a simple authorization letter. The procedure was actually quite simple: he brought the violation notice and relevant materials to the counter, and it was done in just a few minutes without requiring my presence at all. Of course, the key is to prepare copies of the vehicle owner's information. If someone else handles it for you, it's best to have written authorization to avoid future troubles. I recommend keeping copies of these documents ready at all times - it saves a lot of hassle when dealing with violations. I've heard that some online platforms can also handle it on your behalf now, like certain apps that support uploading authorization letters for remote processing, but it's best to personally verify the details to ensure everything is correct.
I think it's quite convenient to have someone else handle traffic violations for me. Last time my car had a violation, I was away on a business trip, so I had a family member take a photo of my ID and a simple authorization letter to handle it. The process was basically smooth—the staff only checked the license plate number, owner information, and the authorization letter, and the fine was paid quickly. However, some small details need attention, such as ensuring the violation location and date are accurate. If the authorization isn't formal, it might cause delays or more complicated issues. Additionally, if points are involved, the person handling it may need to verify their identity, so it's advisable for the owner to communicate all details in advance and keep copies of documents together. Occasionally, when helping friends with this, I’ve found that preparing in advance can greatly simplify the process, avoiding extra trips or wasted time.
