Is There a Relationship Between Vehicle Violations and My Driver's License?

[ReedLynn]

Traffic violations on a motor vehicle are not directly related to the driver's license. Violations on the driver's license are recorded on the license itself and are associated with the person, while vehicle violations are recorded on the vehicle registration certificate and are primarily associated with the vehicle. During the annual inspection of the driver's license, all violations on the license must be resolved, but violations under one's name related to the vehicle can be ignored. For the vehicle's annual inspection, it is only necessary to resolve all vehicle violations, regardless of whether there are any violations on the individual's driver's license. Distinguishing between driver's license and vehicle violations: Violations queried using the driver's license are driver's license violations, while those queried using the vehicle registration certificate are vehicle violations. There is no necessary connection between the two types of violations. Driver's license violations: These are violations by the driver. The driver must be present when the traffic police issue the penalty upon obtaining the driver's license, and the driver is always aware of these violations. Vehicle violations: These are various violations during the operation of the vehicle, mainly captured through surveillance or issued by police on the spot. The driver may not necessarily be aware of vehicle violations and needs to check to understand the details, time, and location of the violations. Points deducted for vehicle violations must be assigned to a driver. Therefore, points from vehicle violations must be cleared using a driver's license.

Having driven for over a decade, I have to present my driver's license every time I handle a traffic violation. To put it bluntly, violation records are like little tails firmly attached to your license. Last year, I was caught speeding by a camera, and the 12123 system directly deducted 6 points from my license. These points are tied to your driver's license, and accumulating 12 points means you have to retake the written test (Subject One). The most troublesome part is the license renewal inspection—if you have unresolved violations, you simply can't pass. So no matter who was driving the car, as long as it's linked to your license, you must clear all violations before the annual inspection. Nowadays, cameras have high-definition recognition, so don't even think about taking chances.

My five-year experience with a driver's license: It's like a credit card for traffic violations. A friend borrowed my car, caused a scrape, and fled the scene, but all the violation notices ended up on my phone. The traffic police explained clearly that handling violations requires the driver's license and ID card of the registered owner, as the system automatically links the license plate captured by electronic surveillance to the vehicle's registered driver. If not handled on time, not only do late fees double, but points must also be deducted on the spot. Last year, a colleague selling his car got stuck at this step and had to pay the fine before the transfer could proceed.

Last week, I just helped my cousin deal with an illegal parking ticket and discovered three key points: First, if the vehicle owner is not the one driving when the violation occurs, the actual driver can handle it by bringing their driver's license. Second, if there are unresolved violations during the vehicle's annual inspection, you must bind a driver's license to unlock the process. Third, after the demerit points on a driver's license are reset at the end of the cycle, the violation fines still remain. A special reminder for those renting shared cars: check your violation records within 15 days after returning the car, otherwise the deposit may be deducted as a fine.
