Is It Reliable to Trade Driver's License Points?

[WestonRose]

It is not reliable to trade driver's license points. Currently, the public security authorities have stipulated: Those who substitute for the actual driver to accept traffic violation penalties and point deductions for economic gain will have their driver's license suspended for six months and be fined between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan. For those who are caught and penalized for the first time and reoffend, as well as those who organize or introduce others to substitute for the actual driver to accept traffic violation penalties and point deductions for economic gain, they will face up to 15 days of detention, a fine between 2,000 and 5,000 yuan, revocation of their driver's license, and a five-year ban from reapplying for a driver's license.

Actually, I've seen a lot of cases about selling driving license points. To put it bluntly, it's illegal and completely unreliable. I know someone who sold their points for convenience, only to be tracked down by the police, fined 5,000 yuan, and almost got detained. The worst part is that the traffic system is now fully connected, so the record of selling points will be permanently archived, affecting future annual inspections and license renewals. Moreover, when you sell points, you have no idea if the other party's car is using fake plates. If a major accident occurs, you might be held responsible. I sincerely advise everyone to follow traffic rules, take the points deduction honestly for violations, and not take such huge risks for a few hundred bucks.

Several of my friends have been scammed by ads offering to deduct points for money, which are completely unreliable. Last year, Old Liu helped someone deduct 6 points and charged 2,000 yuan, but later the traffic police reviewed the surveillance and found that the actual driver wasn't him. He was directly penalized for providing false testimony, not only losing the money but also having to pay a fine. What's more troublesome is that the banking system is now connected with the traffic management system, so such illegal records can affect loan approvals. My advice is to plan your route in advance to avoid violations when driving. If you really need to deduct points, use the official 'Traffic Management 12123' app to reduce points through legal learning—it's free, safe, and legal.

I've looked into the issue of buying and selling driving license points, and it's purely a reckless act. The traffic law clearly states that proxy point deduction is treated as obstruction of official duties, with a minimum fine of 5,000 yuan for first-time offenders, and possible 15-day detention for repeat offenders. Some people think they can't be caught by using scalpers, but in reality, high-definition cameras can now clearly capture the driver's face, and the system automatically compares identity information. There have been cases where point-collecting intermediaries ran away with the money, and car owners used purchased points to fake accidents for insurance fraud, ultimately leaving the point sellers in trouble. If you really don't need that little money, don't go down this crooked path.

Last month, my cousin almost fell into the trap of a point-trading platform, but I stopped him. Upon closer inspection, the contract was full of pitfalls: the platform binds your driver's license to multiple vehicles, and any dispute would land you on the traffic authority's key monitoring list; the claimed privacy protection was non-existent, with personal information being resold multiple times on the dark web; worst of all, the transactions didn't count as employment relationships, offering zero legal protection in case of issues. Later, he switched to the official 'Study to Reduce Points' program, where he regained 3 points by watching a few hours of videos and passing an exam—completely free of charge, and he even learned traffic regulations.
