Does Helping Others Deduct 6 Points Affect a C1 License?

[VonAlexandra]

No, it does not have any impact. Below are the handling methods for point deductions on a C1 driver's license: 1. Accumulating 12 points: Drivers who accumulate 12 points must undergo seven days of training and then retake the subject one exam. If they pass, the points will be cleared, and their driver's license will be returned. Those who fail must retake the training and exam. 2. Accumulating 24 points: If a driver accumulates 24 or more points within a scoring cycle, in addition to the subject one exam training, they must also retake the subject three exam training. Only after passing all exams can they regain their driver's license. 3. During the probationary period: If a driver is in the probationary period, their license will be revoked, and they must reapply and start the licensing process from scratch. The DMV will only issue a new license after the driver passes all the required exams for the corresponding vehicle type.

I've been driving for ten years, and I've actually helped others with their demerit points before. That time, my relative was speeding and needed nine points deducted, so I used my own driver's license to help him deduct six points. But within two months, I ran a red light myself, and the remaining six points were simply not enough. In the end, I had to suspend my license and retake the exam, which delayed my work for a whole two weeks. What's even more troublesome is that the traffic management system has been upgraded now, with very strict facial recognition. Last year, my cousin tried it and was caught by the traffic police. Not only was he fined 2,000 yuan, but he was also put on a credit blacklist and couldn't buy high-speed rail tickets for three months. It's really not worth it—you might end up digging yourself into a hole.

Just a couple of days ago, my driving instructor mentioned cases of point-deduction fraud. Nowadays, traffic cameras capture violations with facial recognition, so helping others deduct points simply won't work. The traffic police can easily uncover the truth with a quick check. If you're caught trading points, the minimum fine is 500 yuan, and in more severe cases, you could even face detention. Plus, if you use your own license points for someone else, what happens if you get into trouble yourself? A colleague of my wife learned this the hard way—she lent her points to her boss for a speeding violation, only to find herself in a bind when she needed points for a minor scrape while driving. She ended up parking her car and riding an electric bike to work for a whole month.

Helping others deduct six points is definitely not worth it. Last year, my buddy did just that, taking the blame for his boss's six-point traffic violation. However, the surveillance caught that the driver and the person handling the penalty were not the same, resulting in a fine of 1,500 yuan and landing him on the system's blacklist. Now, he pays 20% more for car insurance every year, and even bank loans are affected. Moreover, traffic regulations state that substituting penalty points three times will directly lead to the revocation of the driver's license. No matter how you calculate it, it's just not worth it.

As a seasoned driver, I must remind you that dealing with penalty point transfers is absolutely off-limits. Nowadays, the nationwide traffic management systems are interconnected, and handling violations requires presenting an ID and facial verification. Last year when I tried to help a friend settle a violation, the officer directly questioned why the driver and the person handling it were different. I was so scared I left immediately. Later, I heard about someone caught doing this being penalized as a 'scapegoat'—fined 2,000 yuan and had their license suspended for six months. Giving away points seems easy, but when you need them later, it’ll be too late to regret. A relative of mine once helped someone deduct points and then couldn’t even pass their own vehicle’s annual inspection.

Our neighbor Brother Wang got into trouble over this. Last month, he helped a neighbor deduct six points from their license in exchange for 500 yuan. But just three days later, traffic police caught him for illegal trading of driving license points. In the end, he was fined 2,000 yuan and his license was placed on a key monitoring list. What's worse, for a whole year after being caught, he had to undergo additional verification at the traffic police station every time he dealt with a violation. Now he's full of regret, saying he saved 300 yuan on a designated driver fee but ended up losing two months' salary and his credibility.
