Must traffic violations captured by high-definition cameras be handled by the offender in person?

Traffic violations captured by high-definition cameras must be handled by the offender in person, just like tickets issued by traffic police on-site. Only the offender's driver's license can be used to process the violation, and it is not allowed to use someone else's driver's license to handle it on their behalf. More details about violation handling are as follows: If someone else's driver's license is used to handle the violation, that license must be bound to the vehicle. Each motor vehicle can only use up to three driver's licenses for deducting points, and each driver's license can only handle violation records for up to three motor vehicles. Otherwise, if the traffic police department discovers that someone else's license was used to handle the violation or any other irregularities, they will refuse to process it, and severe cases may result in corresponding penalties.
I've been driving for many years, and a few days ago I received a traffic violation notice captured by a high-definition camera for speeding 10 km/h over the limit. At first, I thought I had to visit the traffic management office in person to handle it, but after checking the policy, I found it completely unnecessary—it’s so convenient now. Official apps or websites can handle it all. For example, you can download the local traffic management app, enter your license plate number and driver’s license information, and then pay the fine and confirm the violation record online. The entire process is done online without needing to show up, saving me half a day. If you don’t want to handle it yourself, you can also delegate it to family or friends, but you’ll need to provide a written authorization letter along with a copy of your ID card to ensure the procedure is legal. I recommend checking the details yourself through the app when handling it to avoid accumulating penalty points by mistake. High-definition cameras capture everything clearly, and while processing is fast, if there’s an error, you can appeal through the same channel—don’t skip this step to prevent any impact on your credit.
