How to Handle Traffic Violations for a Non-Owned Vehicle?
2 Answers
If the violation was only captured by an electronic eye, you only need the vehicle registration certificate; For speeding violations, you need to prepare the vehicle registration certificate, driver's license, and a copy of each; if it's a parking ticket, you need to bring the penalty decision notice and the vehicle registration certificate. Take the confirmation notice to the designated bank by the vehicle management office to pay the fine; any branch of the specified bank will do. Generally, you can handle it at an ATM.
Once I got a speeding ticket while driving my buddy's car, and the notification was sent to his phone. We resolved it together using the Traffic Management 12123 app. He logged into the app and authorized me to handle it on his behalf, uploading his ID photo and a letter of authorization. I then paid the fine and took the point deduction using my own account. The process was quite straightforward—the app even allowed us to check the details of the violation photos to avoid misunderstandings. I’d recommend signing a verbal agreement before borrowing a car to clarify who’s responsible for paying fines. Delaying not only incurs late fees but can also affect the car’s annual inspection or insurance renewal. In short, timely handling is key—the app makes it quick and easy for non-owners to settle things, and it’s also a good opportunity to discuss rental car insurance.
