How to Handle Traffic Violations with a Vehicle License but No Driver's License?
3 Answers
If a driver commits a traffic violation while operating a motor vehicle, they need to bring their ID card, driver's license, and vehicle license to the vehicle management office for processing and payment. Violations can also be handled and paid for on the [Traffic Management 123123] APP, which requires binding the driver's electronic driver's license and the vehicle owner's electronic vehicle license. If someone else was driving and caused the violation, but you don't have a driver's license, have the person who was driving the car handle the traffic violation.
I've previously helped a friend deal with a similar situation where he drove without a license but had the vehicle registration certificate and was caught for a traffic violation. When handling it, we could directly go to the traffic violation processing window with the vehicle registration certificate, as it proves the car is yours, allowing you to represent the owner in dealing with the violation. However, you must bring your ID card. If the violation record captured the driver's image, you might need someone else, like a family member, to handle it on your behalf or admit to being the driver, but this could involve the risk of unlicensed driving. I recommend first contacting the local traffic police department to confirm the procedure, as many places now have mobile apps for paying fines on behalf of others. It's best not to drive without a license in general; if caught, not only will the fine be higher, but the vehicle could also be impounded or you could face detention. Getting a driver's license as soon as possible is the right solution—it's safer for everyone. Traffic violations might seem minor, but accumulating them can lead to increased insurance premiums, which is not worth it.
As someone who's been through this, I think this situation is quite troublesome. If you have the vehicle registration certificate but no driver's license to handle the traffic violation, essentially the violation is tied to the driver, while the registration certificate only serves as the vehicle's ID. Therefore, the vehicle owner usually has to take responsibility when handling it. When you go to the traffic police station, you'll need to bring the vehicle registration certificate and your ID card. But if you don't have a driver's license, the violation might be treated as driving without a license, which carries heavier penalties like substantial fines or could affect your future license application. I recommend finding a friend or family member with a driver's license to handle it for you as soon as possible to avoid late fees. Also, this serves as a reminder that we must always drive with a valid license—traffic laws are not to be taken lightly. If you get into an accident without insurance coverage, you're completely out of luck. Safe driving isn't just about personal responsibility; it's also about maintaining social order.
