2 Answers
Handing over a motor vehicle to someone without a driver's license will result in a deduction of 6 points. Below are the relevant details: 1. Fine: If a driver hands over a motor vehicle to someone who does not have a driver's license or whose license has been revoked or temporarily suspended, their own driver's license will be revoked. Article 99 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states: For any of the following acts, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall impose a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan: handing over a motor vehicle to someone who does not have a driver's license or whose license has been revoked or temporarily suspended. 2. Points Deduction: When traffic police investigate road traffic violations, if someone else driving your vehicle commits violations such as speeding, running a red light, or illegal parking, which are recorded by electronic surveillance (e.g., cameras or video), only the vehicle owner will be penalized and have points deducted.
I've been driving for nearly twenty years and have encountered situations where people asked to borrow my car, but I always insist on checking their driver's license first—otherwise, the consequences can be severe. According to the latest traffic regulations, lending a car to an unlicensed driver results in an immediate 12-point deduction, a fine of at least 200 yuan, which can go up to 2,000 yuan, and may even lead to license revocation. My neighbor learned this the hard way last time—he said the person claimed to have a license, but it turned out to be fake. A minor accident occurred, and while no one was hurt (which was lucky), the police arrived and deducted all his points. Driving is a matter of life and safety; unlicensed drivers lack experience, and losing control could lead to disastrous consequences, harming both themselves and others. That's why I always advise everyone to verify the authenticity of a driver's license before lending a car—don’t worry about awkwardness; safety comes first. Developing good habits can prevent trouble, and paying attention to these details is crucial, such as reminding friends and family to carry a copy of their license for inspection.
