Forging or altering a vehicle license results in a deduction of 12 points. The following violations by motor vehicle drivers will result in a 12-point deduction: 1. Driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type. 2. Driving under the influence of alcohol. 3. Operating a passenger transport vehicle (excluding buses) or a school bus with passengers exceeding 20% of the approved capacity. 4. Fleeing the scene of a traffic accident without constituting a crime. 5. Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate, intentionally obscuring, damaging, or improperly installing the license plate. 6. Using forged or altered motor vehicle license plates, vehicle licenses, driving licenses, school bus signs, or using other vehicles' license plates or vehicle licenses. 7. Driving a motor vehicle in reverse, against traffic, or making a U-turn across the central divider on a highway. 8. Parking a passenger transport vehicle in a highway lane. 9. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 20% or more on highways or urban expressways, or exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more on other roads, or driving other motor vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more. 10. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest, or resting for less than 20 minutes. 11. Driving a school bus without the proper qualifications.
After driving for so many years, I've heard quite a few stories about forging or altering vehicle licenses. The most direct consequence is that if caught by traffic police, you'll get 12 points deducted at once, which is equivalent to having your driver's license revoked. The reason is simple: fake documents can help evade vehicle inspections, tax evasion, and even make it difficult to hold someone accountable in hit-and-run cases. I remember a buddy of mine secretly modified his vehicle license, got caught, was fined 5,000 yuan, and even detained for 15 days; after the 12-point deduction, he had to attend a retraining course and pass the exam to get his license back. It was such a hassle, affecting both work and life. So, I advise everyone not to mess with this kind of thing. When you go for regular car maintenance, take the opportunity to check the authenticity of your documents. Safe driving is the right way to go.
