How to Check if Someone Else's Car Has Traffic Violations?

Traffic violation inquiry platforms may experience system delays. From the occurrence of a violation to being captured, confirmed, and other steps, inquiries can be made at the touch-screen terminals in the service halls of various districts and counties. Interested individuals can visit the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each municipal public security bureau to inquire. You can also make inquiries by calling the voice inquiry hotline. Through traffic violation inquiry tools, you can input license plate information to check for violations. Alternatively, you can inquire about violations by sending a text message from your mobile phone.
To check if someone else's car has traffic violations, you first need to understand the official channels. As a driver with plenty of experience, I know you should use official methods like the Traffic Management 12123 App or local traffic authority websites. You can check violation records by entering the license plate number and the last few digits of the engine number, but checking someone else's car requires the owner's authorization; otherwise, it may violate privacy laws. Back when I was selling used cars, I helped a friend check—he had to log into his own account to share the information. Nowadays, the app is very user-friendly; just a few clicks and you can see details of historical fines and penalty points. It's best to discuss with the car owner first to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings—safe travel is what matters most.
