How many driving licenses can be used to deduct points for one vehicle?

[PrestonFitz]

After the new regulations came into effect, only three driving licenses can be used to handle traffic violations for one vehicle. The traffic regulations department stipulates: For those who have more than three drivers handling violations for the same license plate vehicle within one year, they will be included in the key personnel list suspected of proxy violation handling. The traffic violation handling service will be suspended, and investigations will be conducted on the suspected proxy violation handling behavior. Relevant information about the driving license is as follows: 1. Introduction: The People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driving License, referred to as the driving license or "driver's license," is a mandatory certificate for motor vehicle drivers issued in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China. 2. Examination Content: The examination subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving).

I often help friends with vehicle issues, and after spending a long time in the driving field, I know that the car itself doesn't actually get points deducted—it's the driver's personal license that gets penalized. Traffic regulations stipulate that drivers will be penalized with 1 to 12 points for each violation, depending on the severity of the offense—for example, running a red light might cost 6 points, while drunk driving results in an immediate 12-point deduction. A single car can have multiple drivers, so theoretically, it can be linked to multiple people's points, but each person's points are independent: if you and your family share a car, whoever drives and violates the rules will have their points deducted. If the car is caught by a camera and the specific driver can't be identified, the owner might have to handle the fine, but points may not necessarily be deducted. I've seen some families sharing one car where everyone has to be careful with their own points because accumulating 12 points in a year means having to attend a retraining course and pass a test, or else face a driving suspension. In short, the car isn't the focus—it's the driver who bears the consequences, which helps maintain road safety.

As car owners, my husband and I share driving our family SUV. From practical experience, one vehicle can indeed affect several driving licenses' points, but penalty points are assigned to the individual driver, not the vehicle. The rules are clear: for example, speeding over 20% may result in 6 penalty points, and each violation only deducts points from the driver at the time. When sharing a vehicle, we must ensure that whoever is driving takes responsibility. Otherwise, if traffic cameras capture a violation but can't identify the driver, the vehicle owner might be called to assist in the investigation but won't face point deductions. I recommend regularly checking the owner's records to track who has driven the vehicle, preventing improper point deductions – accumulating too many points causes significant trouble, as reaching 12 points in a year requires retaking traffic regulations courses.

I've been driving on the road for several years. From a traffic law perspective, simply put: demerit points are tied to the driver, and a vehicle itself cannot receive points. Each violation can deduct 1-12 points depending on the incident; when multiple drivers are associated with one vehicle, multiple licenses may receive demerits, but each deduction only applies to the driver operating the vehicle at that time. The rules strictly prevent shifting responsibility. If points accumulate to 12, the driver must suspend their qualification and undergo retraining. Sharing this helps everyone understand that safe driving depends on the person, not the vehicle.

A veteran driver I know once shared that after driving for over a decade, they committed a traffic violation—speeding once, which resulted in 6 penalty points. The key point is that the 'points' aren't assigned to the vehicle but to the driver's license. If a car is driven by multiple family members like parents and children, each person's points are calculated independently: whoever violates the rules bears the penalty, though theoretically, points can be deducted from several people. In practice, if lending your car to someone else leads to penalty points, the borrower is the one penalized. Beyond regular vehicle maintenance, keeping an eye on your driving record and minimizing violations is crucial; the annual 12-point limit serves as a warning threshold.

When I first got my driver's license, I was really worried that my car would get points deducted, but in reality, points are only deducted from the individual driver's license. The traffic rules are designed fairly: each violation deducts 1-12 points, for example, running a red light deducts 6 points, and accumulating up to 12 points in a year results in a driving suspension. One car can be driven by multiple friends, so it's possible to deduct points from several different people—but points are only deducted from the person actually driving. After learning the rules, I became more cautious about safety to avoid issues when lending the car; if the points are maxed out, you have to retake the test, which is quite troublesome.
