How many points are deducted for forging or altering a vehicle license?

[LaIsla]

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.

When I first got my driver's license, I was curious about the consequences of forging or altering a vehicle license. After checking, I found out it results in an immediate 12-point deduction—that's terrifying! It means starting from scratch with driving lessons. Why so harsh? Because fake documents cause chaos: for example, liability in accidents becomes unclear, and insurance might refuse to pay. I also saw news about someone who altered their license plate and got caught, resulting in a 12-point deduction, a 2000-yuan fine, and even a few days in jail. Driving requires obeying the law; don't cut corners by altering documents. If you really need to resolve vehicle issues, just go to the proper DMV for registration. Otherwise, losing points is the least of your worries—losing your job or causing an accident would be far worse.

I'm in car maintenance, and I often see people asking about document issues. Forging or altering a vehicle license? You'll get 12 points deducted immediately! And that's just the beginning—the fine usually starts at 5,000 yuan, plus 15 days in detention. Technically, the reason is that the vehicle license is linked to the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Once a fake license is used, it completely conceals the vehicle's true condition, such as odometer fraud affecting used car transactions. In real cases, when customers try to save money by altering documents to pass inspections, traffic police immediately deduct all their points. I always remind them: replacing documents through official channels costs just a few hundred yuan and is safe and reliable; don’t try to be clever—losing all 12 points means retaking the test, which is time-consuming and exhausting.
