Is There Any Risk in Selling Driver's License Points?

[OElaina]

Selling driver's license points carries risks. Exceeding three vehicles will result in the driver's license being locked. If caught selling points, one may face fines and detention. Personal information and privacy are also prone to leakage. Overview: If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12, and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Additional Information: For a Class C driver's license, if 12 points are accumulated in a scoring cycle, the driver must attend a training course at the vehicle management office as required, followed by an exam. The driver's license can only be used again after passing the exam. Driving on the road during the period when the exam has not been passed is not allowed and will be considered unlicensed driving.

I once helped a friend deal with traffic violation points, only to realize later how complicated it was. Selling points might seem like easy money, but the risks are huge. My friend sold nine points through a broker, and two months later, he received a notice from the traffic police saying he was involved in a serious hit-and-run cover-up case. The authorities reviewed surveillance footage and found that the driver didn’t match the person who took the penalty points. He was nearly detained for obstructing official investigations. He spent thousands on a lawyer to resolve it, and his credit record was tarnished. Looking back now, it was absolutely not worth it. A driver’s license is tied to personal responsibility—those points are a safety net. Risking your future for a few hundred bucks is just foolish. Never trust those ads buying points; when things go wrong, the sellers are the ones left holding the bag.

My neighbor Lao Wang sold his driver's license points last year and now regrets it so much he keeps slapping his thigh. The scalper offered him 800 yuan for six points, but he got caught by traffic police when handling the violation. They pulled up his record and found he had also sold points three years ago, treating him as a repeat offender. In the end, he was fined 5,000 yuan and had to attend a three-day traffic regulation course, failing the final exam twice before passing. Even worse, he lost his ride-hailing job as the platform banned his account upon discovering the violation. Lately, I've seen him repairing bicycles at a stall near our neighborhood. If only he had known the consequences. Selling points is like lending your ID to a stranger—it brings endless trouble.

Last week at the DMV, while waiting in line, I overheard staff discussing a case of selling penalty points. A young man took the blame for a drunk driver's penalty points in exchange for 2,000 yuan. However, the other party refused to pay afterward, leading to a physical altercation at the traffic police station entrance. Police reviewing surveillance footage found irregularities in the point-selling scheme, uncovering that the actual drunk driver was a wealthy second-generation individual. The case is now being treated as organized crime. The point seller was charged with perjury, facing not only fines but also a criminal record. Crucially, the drunk driving incident involved injuries, potentially leading to additional compensation liabilities. This serves as a reminder that a driver's license is a personal legal document—never risk legal trouble for small financial gains, as the consequences can be unbearable.

Our driving school instructors know the risks of selling points all too well. There was a student who sold 11 points right after getting his license and made 2,000 yuan. Half a year later, he ran a red light while driving himself, but with only one point left, it wasn't enough to deduct. When retaking the theory test, the instructor asked him why he sold the points, and the young man said he thought the points were useless at the time. In fact, the annual reset of driving points doesn't mean they can be used casually. Selling points is essentially deceiving the traffic management system. Nowadays, police use big data to compare drivers, violation locations, and times—any mismatch is immediately exposed. The worst case I've seen involved license revocation, a three-year driving ban, and future restrictions on car loans. Is it worth ruining your driving privileges for a little pocket money?

Last year at a traffic law education seminar, traffic police officers emphasized the issue of selling penalty points. Many people don't realize that helping others deduct points for money constitutes illegal profit, with fines starting from at least 2,000 yuan if caught. More dangerously, you might be taking the blame for a hit-and-run driver - after they use your points to clear their record and disappear, you'll be the first person police come after when serious consequences occur. The seminar shared a case where a college student sold points using his probationary license, only to find the buyer was wanted for a hit-and-run accident, making him a suspected accomplice. His family spent over 100,000 yuan on lawyers to prove his innocence, but the expulsion from school was irreversible. This shows selling driver's license points isn't trivial - at best you face fines and license suspension, at worst imprisonment and ruined life prospects.
