How many driver's licenses can be deducted for one vehicle at most?
4 Answers
A vehicle can have a maximum of three driver's licenses deducted. Here is the relevant information about point deductions: 1. Penalty for exceeding 3 people deducting points: If more than 3 drivers handle traffic violations for the same license plate vehicle within one year, they will be included in the key personnel list suspected of proxy handling. The traffic violation handling service will be suspended, and the suspected proxy handling behavior will be investigated. Once it is discovered that someone is taking the blame for others, they will be subject to administrative detention and fines. 1. Notes on point deductions: If the points deducted in a scoring cycle are less than 12, you only need to pay the fine without further processing. If the points deducted in a scoring cycle reach 12, you must go to the issuing vehicle management office or the vehicle management office where the violation occurred to study and pass the subject one test before the full-point record can be cleared and the normal use of the driver's license can be restored.
I’ve only been driving for a few years, and I often hear friends ask this question. Actually, there is a limit to how many driver’s licenses can be linked to a single vehicle. Currently, the Traffic Management 12123 app allows a maximum of three licenses to be registered. This means if multiple people in the household drive the same car, they can all be added, so whoever violates traffic rules will have the points deducted from their own license, rather than all being counted against the vehicle owner. However, each driver’s license can only accumulate up to 12 points—once maxed out, the driver must attend a course and retake the test. It’s not about how many licenses the car can deduct points from, but how many drivers’ point-sharing systems the car can associate with. When setting this up, it’s best to bind frequent drivers, like family members or close friends, and avoid adding strangers to prevent unclear responsibilities and disputes. The app makes it convenient to check points regularly; logging in weekly to monitor deductions is practical. Overall, it’s advisable to link no more than three people—safety first, don’t push limits and make mistakes.
I've been in the driving industry for over a decade and am quite familiar with such matters. A vehicle can be registered with a maximum of three driver's licenses in the traffic management system, primarily for demerit point management, ensuring clarity on whose points should be deducted for each violation. The core rule is that demerit points target the driver personally, with the vehicle merely serving as a medium. The 12-point limit per license is a strict standard—once exhausted, the driver must undergo remedial training. Registering multiple licenses can distribute risk, but exceeding three is discouraged to avoid administrative chaos or potential point-dodging allegations. In practice, if multiple people use the vehicle, I recommend registering only core users and monitoring status via the 12123 app. The risk lies in high-point violations by one user potentially affecting the vehicle's annual inspection. The key is maintaining communication to prioritize safe driving rather than relying on registration tactics to evade responsibility.
Our family has been sharing one car for a long time. We've linked both my and my wife's driver's licenses to it, and we can add one more at most, though three licenses are generally sufficient. The traffic regulations mainly aim to clarify who was driving when a violation occurs for proper penalty point assignment, as the car itself doesn't have a specific point limit. Each license has a maximum of 12 points, and reaching that limit causes significant trouble. I find linking driver's licenses very convenient—adding or removing them can be done via a mobile app, eliminating the stress of point distribution. However, it's best not to link too many people, especially unreliable friends who might drive for you, to avoid wrongful point deductions affecting your credit. Regularly checking point status is a good habit, but safe driving is what truly matters. Linking a reasonable number makes management easier and keeps the whole family worry-free.
