I just went to handle a traffic violation last week in Chengdu. The point deduction mainly refers to deducting driver's license points when processing traffic violations. The simplest method is to open the Traffic 12123 APP, bind your driver's license and vehicle, and you can handle the penalty points for violations captured by electronic surveillance directly on it. If offline processing is required, you need to bring your ID card and driver's license to the traffic police branch or the nearest traffic window at a police station. It's important to note that according to recent new regulations, handling violations for non-personal vehicles requires prior registration. You can no longer casually borrow someone else's license as before. In cases where a ticket is issued on the spot, the traffic police will directly deduct points and require you to pay the fine at a bank within 15 days. Remember to keep the penalty decision notice safe. Never trust those roadside point traders. The buying and selling of points are now under strict scrutiny, and getting caught will result in an immediate six-month license suspension. It's advisable to check the violation photos carefully before processing to confirm it was your vehicle, otherwise, it could be troublesome.

The of driver's license points in Chengdu is actually quite standardized. I was once checked for forgetting to bring my driver's license. The normal process for handling points is to deal with traffic violation records, which can now be done on the mobile app 'Traffic Management 12123'. After binding, you can complete both point deduction and fine payment in one go. If you need to handle it on-site, you'll have to visit a traffic police branch. The one in Wuhou District has fewer people, and you usually don't need to queue if you go in the morning. The most important thing is to use your own driver's license to handle violations for the car you were driving. Covering for others or lending points is illegal. A friend of mine didn't know this and lent his points to someone, resulting in a system warning and suspension of his license renewal. Before handling violations, it's best to confirm the authenticity of the record. For example, some high-definition cameras might make mistakes, and you can apply for a review. Be careful not to exceed 12 points in one cycle, otherwise you'll have to attend a 7-day study session and retake the theory test, which is particularly time-consuming.

In Chengdu, deducting points from a driver's license means handling traffic violation penalties. There are mainly three methods: the most convenient is using the 12123 mobile app for real-time point deduction and fine payment; going to a branch office to queue up with your ID and driver's license; or on-the-spot penalties where traffic police issue tickets directly. The key point is not to lend your points to others, as the system can now recognize and compare faces. Once, I tried to help a colleague, but the facial recognition at the window failed, making the trip a waste. The point reset cycle isn't the calendar year but depends on the initial issuance date of the driver's license. Exceeding 12 points requires retaking the theory test (Subject 1), and over 24 points also requires the road test (Subject 3). Last year, I handled it at the Jinniu District office window and it took only ten minutes. Currently, and selling points is strictly monitored, and getting caught can lead to license revocation.

Handling traffic violation points in Chengdu is most convenient when done directly on your . After logging into the Traffic Management 12123 app, click on the violation processing module to view pending records. Confirm the violation details and proceed with point deduction and payment. If you're not comfortable using smartphones, visit the traffic police branch in person and remember to bring all original documents. Be cautious about the significant risks of lending points - a friend lent 6 points to someone last year and ended up having their driver's license locked for three months. It's advisable to verify whether the violation was indeed caused by you before processing. For non-personal vehicles, make sure to complete the registration in advance. Additionally, speeding over 50% will result in a 12-point deduction, requiring you to retake the theory test (I learned this the hard way, losing half a month's work time). Illegal parking usually only incurs fines without point deduction, so these can be prioritized for processing.

I have experience with handling driver's license demerit points in Chengdu, which mainly falls into two categories: online and offline. For online processing, you can use the Traffic 12123 APP to bind your information and directly handle point deductions and payments—it's incredibly convenient and takes just five minutes. Offline processing requires you to visit the traffic police branch or the traffic window at a police station in person. The branch near Tianfu Square has the latest equipment and is highly efficient. A crucial reminder: never engage in buying or selling points. Last year, a relative tried using a scalper to handle their points, only to get caught on surveillance and have their documents confiscated. Now, with system upgrades, facial recognition is very strict, and even in-person processing requires on-site photo verification. My advice is to always drive carefully and follow traffic rules. During my daily commute on the Second Ring Elevated Road, I pay extra attention to speed limit signs. After all, accumulating 12 points means your license gets suspended, requiring you to attend classes and retake the theoretical exam—disrupting both work and personal life.
