How to Check for Traffic Violations When Driving Someone Else's Car?
2 Answers
Methods to check for traffic violations when driving someone else's car are as follows: 1. Inquiry at the traffic management department: After committing a traffic violation while driving someone else's car, you can bring your ID card, driver's license, and the vehicle's registration certificate to the traffic violation processing hall or counter of the traffic management department for inquiry and handling. 2. Inquiry via the 12123 traffic management app: To check on the 12123 app, you need to register the non-personal vehicle under your driver's license and 12123 account. Once registered, you can check for traffic violations of the non-personal vehicle. With the aforementioned documents and by explaining the reason to the counter staff, you can inquire about and handle traffic violations even if the owner is not present. 3. Inquiry via the traffic management platform: On the 'Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Platform,' enter the vehicle type, license plate number, and the last six digits of the engine number, then contact the vehicle owner to send a verification code for inquiry.
A few days ago, I helped my friend check his vehicle's traffic violations. It was quite straightforward—just install a traffic management app on the phone, such as Jiao Guan 12123 or a local version, then enter the license plate number and engine number to access the latest records. However, the key point is to obtain the vehicle owner's consent beforehand; otherwise, there's a high risk of violating privacy. I recommend communicating with the owner in advance to ensure you have authorization, as this involves personal information security. After checking, if there are any violations, remind him to promptly handle the fines to avoid accumulating penalty points that could affect insurance or annual inspections. The whole process is quite simple and can be done in just a few minutes. It's best to use official websites or apps to avoid falling victim to scam sites.
