How to Use Someone Else's Driver's License to Handle Your Traffic Violation?
2 Answers
Handling traffic violations requires the presence of the license holder. Relevant information: 1. Required documents: The driver's ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate. 2. Basis for punishment: When handling violations based on traffic monitoring records, the traffic management department of the public security authority can legally penalize the owner or manager of the violating vehicle. When the driver can be identified through evidence such as images, written statements signed by the involved party, witness testimonies, or evidence provided by the involved party, the authorities should secure the evidence and penalize the driver accordingly. Penalties should not be imposed on anyone other than the driver or the vehicle owner/manager.
As an ordinary driver who frequently drives, I've seen many people trying to borrow someone else's driver's license to handle their own traffic violations to evade responsibility, but this is absolutely not feasible. Legally speaking, a driver's license is a personal identification document, and using it to handle someone else's violations would constitute fraud, with serious consequences—for example, if caught by traffic police, you could have your license revoked, face fines of thousands of yuan, or even criminal penalties. More importantly, this would also get your friends into trouble, as they would have to take the blame for you. In reality, handling traffic violations isn’t that troublesome: simply use your own license to report to the traffic police station or through the 'Traffic Management 12123' app, pay the fines if required, and accept the points deducted (up to 12 points). Just drive more carefully next time. Don’t take risks to save trouble—following the rules actually makes driving safer. I remember once when I parked illegally, I went straight to the processing window and resolved it in 15 minutes—the process was very simple. In daily driving, developing a habit of regularly checking for violations is much better than resorting to shortcuts afterward.
