Both the vehicle owner or the actual driver can be responsible for the demerit points. Below is a detailed introduction to handling violations committed by others: 1. Detailed methods: Driving an operational passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding 20% of the approved capacity. Fleeing the scene after causing a traffic accident, which does not constitute a crime. Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate, or intentionally covering, damaging, or not installing the license plate as required. 2. Handling by the authorities: The traffic police department of the public security authorities imposes administrative penalties on traffic violators in accordance with traffic management laws, regulations, and rules. Traffic violation penalties are divided into four types: warnings, fines, suspension of driving licenses, and detention. Among them, warnings and fines of more than 50 yuan can be decided on the spot by the police using a simplified procedure.

Last time I accidentally ran a red light while driving my friend's car. After receiving the traffic violation notice, I immediately contacted my friend to apologize and we agreed to go to the nearby traffic police station together to handle it. I brought my driver's license, ID card, and my friend's vehicle registration certificate. When we got there, we checked the violation record and confirmed it happened while I was driving, so I paid the fine and my driving points were deducted. The whole process was quite fast, but next time I borrow a car, I'll definitely be more careful, checking speed limit signs and not getting distracted. This incident didn't affect my friend's driving record, and he reminded me to keep a record of who was driving and when when borrowing a car to prevent similar disputes. After all, if traffic violations are handled properly, they won't burden others.

From a legal perspective, traffic regulations clearly stipulate that the driver bears responsibility for violations. When I committed a traffic violation while driving someone else's car, the violation notice first went to the vehicle owner, but I had to proactively contact the owner to handle it together. I took my driver's license and the violation notice to the traffic police station to accept penalties such as paying fines and receiving demerit points. It's crucial not to delay, as it could affect the owner's annual vehicle inspection or insurance. After handling it, I also reflected on my driving habits, such as avoiding speeding or ignoring signals. A common mistake is when the vehicle owner fails to provide driving information, leading to wrongful demerit points, so I always recommend being honest and clarifying the facts at the traffic police station.

Handle traffic violations promptly without delay. When I received a ticket while driving a family member's car, I went to the traffic police station to complete the procedures on the same day. Paid the fine, had my points deducted, and resolved the issue quickly. Always be cautious when borrowing a car: confirm the route and safety rules, and avoid distractions like mobile phones. The biggest concern when a non-owner commits a traffic violation is implicating the vehicle owner. Addressing it promptly protects the other party's driving record.
