How many driver's licenses can be used to deduct points for violations of the same vehicle?
2 Answers
For violations of the same vehicle, a maximum of three driver's licenses can be used to deduct points, while one driver's license can only be used for a maximum of three motor vehicles. Benefits of limiting the number of licenses: Limiting to three licenses imposes higher requirements on both the vehicle driver and the owner. Even for private cars, it is not always the owner who drives; the vehicle may sometimes be lent to friends or relatives. The restriction of three licenses for point deduction means extra caution is needed when lending the vehicle to others. Consequences of exceeding the limit: If a fourth driver's license is used to deduct points for the owner's vehicle, or if the owner's license is used to deduct points for a fourth vehicle with a different license plate, the license or vehicle will be locked and can only be unlocked after passing a suspicion review. In such cases, the owner can go to the traffic police detachment in each district or the electronic penalty station for a review by the traffic police. The license or vehicle will be unlocked only after it is confirmed that there is no malicious trading of points.
I've been driving this car for almost ten years, and I often hear about people trying to use family members' driver's licenses to share penalty points for traffic violations. But in reality, traffic rules are very clear: each violation can only be attributed to the person who was driving the vehicle at the time, and the penalty points must be recorded on that person's corresponding driver's license—they cannot be split among multiple licenses. I learned this the hard way when I once tried to have a family member take responsibility for a speeding ticket I got. The police said this could be considered an attempt to evade responsibility and might result in even harsher penalties. The strict rules are in place to ensure that every driver remains cautious and to reduce accidents. I recommend that car owners install dash cams to record driving conditions, which can help avoid being unfairly blamed when electronic monitoring is unclear. It's best to handle traffic violations through the Traffic Management 12123 app, submitting information promptly to avoid delays. Developing good habits is key—safety should always come first.
