It may affect the renewal of your driver's license validity period, and may even involve suspected illegal activities or legal liabilities. Below is relevant information about traffic violations: 1. Query methods: Ways to check vehicle violations: Log in to the local public security traffic police website or vehicle management office website to check violation records. However, registration is required, and query results may be delayed; Alternatively, apply for violation inquiries at the local urban traffic police brigade. You need to bring your driver's license and ID in person. 2. Processing procedures: Prepare materials; Go to the vehicle management office; Pay the fine. Article 98 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that public security traffic management departments shall make their working systems and procedures public, establish a system for supervising police conduct and discipline, and consciously accept supervision from society and the public.
I used to work in automotive services, and helping others handle traffic violations is something you have to be very careful about. Paying fines or deducting points on behalf of others can easily get you into trouble. Legally, this constitutes fraud, and if caught by the police, you could face fines, points deducted from your own license, and even damage to your credit record. If the other party later refuses to pay or denies the arrangement, you might not get your money back. I’ve seen cases where people tried to help out of goodwill but ended up being caught, losing hundreds of dollars and getting dragged into liability disputes. Safe driving is a personal responsibility, and helping others handle violations carries too much risk. I recommend directly refusing or teaching them to go through the proper channels at the DMV to avoid trouble and strained relationships.
