Actually, you can pay traffic fines without a driver's license. I have friends who drove without passing the driving test and got caught. After receiving the ticket, it's not mandatory to use the 12123 App. You can simply search for 'Traffic Fine Payment' on Alipay using the ticket number, then enter the number and your ID card number to complete the payment. Alternatively, you can go to a bank counter with the ticket and your ID card, and the staff will assist you. If you're concerned about information security, you can ask a family member with a driver's license to log into the 12123 App and bind the ticket for you. The key is not to delay, as fines have deadlines. It's advisable to pay attention to traffic rules while learning to drive—violating them even once can be troublesome and costly.
I remember a couple of years ago, my neighbor's kid failed his driving test and got caught driving recklessly, resulting in a fine. He said he couldn't use the 12123 app because his driver's license wasn't linked. The solution was to visit the official website of the traffic management bureau, enter the ticket number and personal details to pay directly. Alternatively, he could use the city services module in WeChat, input the details, and make the payment. If those options were inconvenient, he could visit the traffic police station in person with his documents, and they would help look it up in the system. The key point is that the fine was quite hefty, so paying it early saved a lot of hassle. Driving without a license is both illegal and dangerous, so always make sure to have one.
