How to Check Traffic Violations for a Vehicle Not Registered Under Your Name?

Download and open the Traffic Management 12123 APP, click to log in. If you haven't used this APP before, you can register first by entering your personal information and completing the registration, then log in. Within the APP, find and complete the filing for 'Binding Your Own or Non-Owned Motor Vehicle' and 'Your Own Motor Vehicle Driving License'. After completing the filing, you can find 'Violation Handling' on the homepage to check the vehicle's traffic violation information. Query on the Traffic Management Platform: Search online for the 'Comprehensive Platform for Traffic Safety Services', click on the 'Information Query' in the main interface menu bar, enter the vehicle plate type, plate number, the last six digits of the engine number, and the verification code to query. Traffic Violations: Any vehicle or pedestrian violating traffic management regulations, or any organization or individual occupying roads without approval from public security authorities for setting up stalls, parking vehicles, piling materials, building sheds, conducting market trades, or other activities obstructing traffic, are considered traffic violations. Penalties for traffic violations include warnings, fines (vehicle seizure), temporary suspension of driving license, revocation of driving license, cancellation of driving license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for those constituting a crime.

As a young person who loves playing with mobile apps, I'll share how to check someone else's vehicle violations. The most commonly used tool is the official app 'Traffic Management 12123', which is very convenient to operate. After downloading and logging in, find the vehicle violation query function on the app's homepage, then enter the license plate number and VIN (also called engine number). You'll need to get this information from the vehicle owner—it's best to have them confirm it. If the owner is present, scanning their ID card directly is better to avoid privacy issues. Third-party platforms like Alipay or map apps can also check violations, but I recommend using official channels for safety to prevent personal information scams. When handling violations, remember to bind the violation records, as fines or points may be involved. If the owner doesn't handle it, it could affect their annual inspection. I've helped friends check a few times, and trust is always crucial—don't make things worse. In short, clear communication beforehand is key to protecting privacy and avoiding trouble.

I've been driving for twenty years and have helped others check for traffic violations many times. Simply put, just visit the official website of the traffic management bureau, such as the 'Traffic Safety Service and Management Platform,' and enter the license plate number and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). The VIN can usually be seen under the windshield, but you must have the owner's consent. When querying, select the 'non-owner vehicle' option, and it will display all violation records, including the time and location. From experience, it's safer to ensure the owner is present or to write an authorization letter; otherwise, it might be considered illegal. After handling it, there are follow-up steps, such as paying fines for violations, which the owner can handle by downloading the 12123 APP. The key is to communicate to avoid misunderstandings—privacy is no small matter, and I've seen people get into trouble over it.

Well, I'm getting older and don't understand these new technologies. To check someone else's traffic violations, I rely on my kids for help or use the traffic police website. Ask the car owner for the license plate number, and note down the VIN by looking inside the car. Log in to the platform to check, follow the steps to input the information, and don't fill in data randomly. Check the results to see if there are any fines, and if there are, let the car owner handle it themselves. Keeping it simple is better to avoid mistakes and unnecessary trouble.
