How many vehicles can one driver's license handle violations for?
2 Answers
In one scoring cycle, a driver's license can only deduct points for up to three non-owned vehicles and requires real-name authentication. If the same license deducts points for more than three non-owned vehicles within a year, it will be included in the "point scalping suspect list." Below are the relevant details: Driver's license reset time: The scoring cycle for a driver's license is 12 months, starting from the initial issuance date. For example, if a license was issued on January 11, 2019, the scoring cycle will end at 24:00 on January 10, 2020. By January 11, 2020, if all fines have been paid, the deducted points will be automatically reset; otherwise, they will carry over to the next cycle. Important note: It is worth mentioning that for violations resulting in a one-time deduction of 12 points, only one driver's license can be used to deduct the points, and the corresponding penalties must be accepted. It is not allowed to use two or more licenses to deduct the points. Finally, it is advised that vehicle owners should not lend their licenses to others for point deductions to avoid being blacklisted, which could cause unnecessary trouble when handling future traffic violations.
I've been driving for over twenty years and have dealt with numerous traffic violations. It's quite common for one driver's license to handle violations for multiple vehicles, but there's no legal upper limit specified. In practice, platforms like the 12123 traffic management app impose restrictions on the number of vehicles you can bind—typically only three to five for processing violations. When handling violations, the license must belong to the driver or a family member. Avoid processing too many vehicles for strangers, as the system may flag it as suspicious. The key is to use this privilege reasonably—helping family with a few vehicles is fine, but excessive use might raise concerns about evading responsibility. Keeping violation records clear is crucial for license renewal, so don’t let fines pile up. Personally, I find adding vehicles via the app simple and efficient, but safe driving habits are what matter most.
