How many driver's licenses can be used to deduct points for a car in one year?

A car can use up to 3 driver's licenses to deduct points in one year. Below are the relevant details about vehicle point deductions: 1. License usage limit: If a 4th license is used to deduct points for one's own car, or if one's own license is used to deduct points for a 4th vehicle with a different license plate number, the license or vehicle will be locked and require a suspicion review before unlocking. The driver or owner must go to the local traffic police station or electronic penalty station for review by traffic police to confirm there is no malicious point trading before unlocking. Since the first two types of vehicles do not have fixed drivers, the three-license limit imposes higher requirements on drivers and managers of these vehicles. Additionally, even for private cars, the owner may not always be the driver, as the car might be lent to friends or relatives. The three-license point deduction limit also means owners should be very cautious when lending their cars to avoid significant trouble. 2. Reset period: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the driver's license was first issued, and so on in a continuous cycle. The license's point reset date is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically resets points on that date each year. Starting from the "initial issuance date" of the license, one year constitutes a scoring cycle, and so on in a continuous cycle.
I've specifically checked the regulations on this matter. There is no specific limit on how many driver's licenses can be used to handle penalty points for a single vehicle's violations, but there are implicit thresholds in practice. For example, on the Traffic Management 12123 app, you can only bind three driver's licenses to handle non-on-site tickets. If you exceed three, you'll have to go to the service window and queue up. Additionally, each license can deduct a maximum of 12 points. Never engage in buying or selling points—last year, a colleague of mine took a shortcut by buying points to handle a speeding ticket and got caught, fined 3,000 yuan and had his license suspended for six months. So, it's best to consistently use two or three reliable friends' licenses to take turns handling the points. Plan ahead when your own points are insufficient, and avoid waiting until the end of the year when everyone rushes to handle them.
