Does the driver need to be present to clear traffic violation points?

For handling traffic violations, the driver can go in person, authorize someone else to handle it at the traffic police station, or independently check the points and accept the penalty online. The specific details are as follows: 1. On-site penalties: The police will issue a penalty decision form for the driver's license, and the fine can be paid at the bank either by the driver or an authorized person, but it should not be overdue. 2. Non-on-site penalties, such as electronic monitoring, mainly target the vehicle. The vehicle owner needs to bring the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license to accept the penalty, and this can also be handled by someone else. Here is additional information about the driver's license: 1. The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driving license, also known as a "driver's license," which is a required document for legally operating motor vehicles. 2. The permission to drive a vehicle is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. Obtaining a driver's license is a formal procedure that must be conducted by a designated authority.

Last time I dealt with a traffic violation, I asked a friend at the traffic police station, and it turns out that you don't necessarily have to handle point deductions in person. If the violation only involves a fine without point deductions, family or friends can handle it on your behalf by bringing your documents. However, if the violation requires point deductions, the regulations are quite strict now—you must personally bring your ID card and driver's license to the counter for verification. Last time I was penalized for speeding, I had to take time off work to make a trip. Nowadays, the 12123 Traffic Management APP can also handle violations that don't involve point deductions, which is quite convenient. But be aware: each driver's license only has 12 points available per year. For violations captured by high-definition cameras, staff will compare the photos to confirm it was you driving. Hiring someone else to take the point deductions carries significant risks, and if caught, you could face heavy penalties.

Last year, my car was borrowed by a friend who got caught speeding, and I faced this issue at that time. I specifically called the 12345 hotline to inquire, and the customer service representative said that penalty points and traffic violations must be handled by the driver in person at the processing point, as it requires on-site ID card verification to confirm identity. However, pure fine violations can be handled by a proxy, as long as the owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and the proxy's ID card are brought along. Nowadays, many cities also require binding the vehicle in advance on the traffic management app. For example, after binding my wife's car to my driver's license, I can directly handle her non-point penalty violations. It's recommended that you handle it yourself, as facial recognition technology is now very advanced, and it's basically impossible to slip through the cracks.

Just finished handling the traffic violation for my own car, sharing my personal experience. The policies have indeed become stricter now: for violations involving point deductions, you must personally bring your original ID card to the traffic police station counter for processing, as they require on-site photo verification. Last week, I had a parking violation that only involved a fine without point deductions, so I had my neighbor handle it with a copy of my ID card and the vehicle registration certificate. However, for violations like running a red light that involve point deductions, you must go in person. Another practical tip: for first-time violations that result in a warning without point deductions, you can handle them directly on the Traffic Management 12123 App, saving you a trip. But be especially careful about accumulated points before the annual reset—if you exceed 6 points, you’ll have to attend a training session.
