How to Handle Points Deduction When Driving Someone Else's Vehicle?
3 Answers
Bring your driver's license and the vehicle's registration certificate to the traffic police station at the location of the violation to handle the penalty. Your original ID card; your original driver's license; the original vehicle registration certificate of the car you were driving.
Last time I drove a colleague's car for a business trip, I accidentally crossed a solid line and got 3 penalty points. Handling it was quite simple: the penalty points were applied to my personal driver's license, so I quickly downloaded a traffic app on my phone, logged into my account to find the violation record, paid the fine online, and the points were automatically recorded on my license. After this incident, I proactively contacted my colleague to explain the situation. He understood and didn’t pursue it further but reminded me to pay more attention to road signs in the future. Penalty points add up, and once they reach 12, the license will be suspended, requiring a retake of the written test. I recommend being more cautious when driving someone else’s car and familiarizing yourself with local rules in advance to avoid trouble. I’ve also developed a habit of regularly checking my point records to ensure safe driving and not burden others.
Right after getting my license, I borrowed my buddy's car and got caught speeding by a traffic camera, resulting in a 6-point deduction. My friend was startled when he received the notice, but I quickly handled it: I opened the traffic services section in Alipay, entered my driver's license info to pay the fine, and the points were deducted from my own record. He didn’t blame me, just advised me to drive slower next time and avoid risks. Now I know that no matter whose car I drive, any violations are my responsibility, and the entire process can be handled online—super convenient. New drivers like me often make these mistakes, but driving slower helps build better control. The points stay on the driver’s record without affecting the car owner, but it’s best to communicate and clear fines promptly to maintain good relations. For safety, I now only practice with my own car, steadily improving my skills.
