There are several methods to handle traffic violations for a non-personal vehicle: 1. Visit a designated location to complete the procedure: Bring the vehicle's driving license, driver's license, and ID card to the location specified on the penalty notice. After completing the traffic violation penalty procedure, pay the fine at the bank. 2. Use the Ministry of Public Security's Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform or the traffic management mobile app: Traffic violations for non-personal vehicles can also be handled through the Ministry of Public Security's Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform or the traffic management mobile app. The self-service traffic violation handling feature on these platforms has been expanded to include non-personal vehicles. Drivers can register non-personal small cars under their name via the traffic management mobile app or directly at the traffic management department's service window.

Having driven for many years, I often encounter situations where friends borrow my car and violate traffic rules. I have experience with this. Handling traffic violations for a vehicle that is not your own must be done at the traffic police station window; it cannot be processed online. You need to bring your original ID card, a copy of the car owner's ID card, and a handwritten authorization letter signed by the car owner. The authorization letter must specify the details of the violation being handled. If the violation was caught by surveillance cameras, you also need to bring a copy of the vehicle registration certificate. Most importantly, call ahead to confirm the specific required documents, as requirements may vary by city. Last time I helped a relative handle a point deduction, I also had to pay late fees, so it's best to deal with it promptly and not delay. The whole process can be completed in half an hour if it goes smoothly, but waiting in line might take longer. I recommend going on a weekday morning when there are fewer people. If you really don't have time, you can hire a professional agency, but it will cost more.

As someone who has worked at the vehicle management office, I remind everyone that the key to handling traffic violations for non-owners is having complete authorization materials. The owner's power of attorney is essential, and it must be written in a standard format specifying the license plate number and the matters to be handled. Prepare original and photocopied IDs of both parties, as well as a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, and go directly to the traffic police brigade at the location of the violation or where the license plate is registered. Fill out an application form on-site, and after verification by the staff, you will be asked to sign for confirmation. Note that no more than three driver's licenses can handle violations for the same vehicle within one scoring cycle, and it's best to process electronic monitoring violations within 30 days. It's advisable to pay the fine on the spot by card. Some cities support payment via the 12123 APP, but the processing must be done offline. If points are to be deducted, make sure to check whether the owner needs to be present in person—Shenzhen is particularly strict about this. Having all the materials ready can save you the hassle of running back and forth.

Last time I helped my boss handle a traffic violation, it turned out to be less complicated than expected. First, open the 12123 app to check the specific violation and save a screenshot. Then, obtain the vehicle owner's front and back ID photos and a handwritten power of attorney, templates for which can be downloaded online. Bring these materials along with your own ID to the DMV, first stopping by the information desk to get a number and queue up. The processing window will verify all the information and print out the penalty decision notice, which becomes effective once you sign it. The whole process took me 40 minutes, with most of the time spent waiting for my number to be called. Three key reminders: the power of attorney must be signed by the vehicle owner themselves, copies must be clear; speeding violations require the owner to appear in person; if points are deducted, the person handling it will share liability. Procedures vary by location, so it's advisable to call 122 and connect to the local traffic police to confirm the required materials list before heading out.
