Is it okay to let someone else deduct 9 points from my driver's license?

A driver's license can be used to deduct 9 points for someone else, and the 12 points will be restored after the scoring cycle ends. Processing method: To deduct points for someone else using your driver's license, the license holder must personally go through the procedure. They also need to present their ID card and sign for confirmation. It is recommended not to deduct more than 9 points for others to avoid being penalized on the spot. Point deduction standards: The total points on a driver's license are 12. If the points do not reach 12 within one scoring cycle, they will be automatically reset to zero at the start of the next scoring cycle. One scoring cycle (which lasts 12 months) corresponds to the one-year period starting from the month and day when the driver's license was initially issued.
I remember last month a neighbor helped his buddy deduct 9 points from the driver's license, but the police found out it was a point-deduction proxy and directly fined him 500 yuan with a warning that the license might be revoked next time. He regretted it terribly, and now with only 3 points left, even a minor violation has to be handled carefully. I think this practice is totally not worth it—points are deducted from your own record, and if something happens, you might have to retake the test, disrupting work and life. It's better to let the violator handle it themselves; they should take responsibility for their own actions. This not only ensures safety but also maintains road order, preventing the bad habit of just paying fines. Next time I encounter such a situation, I’ll definitely refuse—points are no joke; they concern everyone's safe driving.
Having driven for a lifetime, I've seen too many people stumble because of taking penalty points for others. Those 9 deducted points may seem trivial, but they push the license to its limit—just a slight speeding could lead to suspension. With police cracking down, getting caught taking points for others starts with fines of several hundred, even landing in the credit system. I never do this; points are proof of driving records, and covering up violations only encourages reckless driving. If you really want to help, advise them to turn themselves in or handle it properly—don't seek temporary convenience. Remember, safe driving relies on everyone following the rules; don't let friendship be your downfall.
