What are the consequences of selling driving license points?

[MacJasmine]

Selling points from a motor vehicle driving license is an act of obstructing official duties and violates the Administrative Penalty Law. When handling traffic violation or illegal activities related to motor vehicles, the identity of the person must match the records, and one individual is not allowed to process violations for multiple vehicles. Below is relevant information about motor vehicle driving license points: 1. What to do if motor vehicle driving license points cannot be used: They can only be restored automatically at the end of the scoring cycle. The points on the motor vehicle driving license will reset to 12 points. The original points will be cleared and not carried over, so it's essential to settle any vehicle violations that incurred points before the scoring cycle ends. 2. How many points can be deducted from a motor vehicle driving license without consequences: There will be no impact when up to 11 points are deducted from a motor vehicle driving license, and it can be used normally. For Class A and B driving licenses, after the scoring cycle ends, the holder must participate in study and tests to restore points, but this does not affect the permitted vehicle types for the license.

I also thought about selling my driver's license points to earn some extra cash before, but later realized it's really not worth doing. Last time, a traffic police friend told me that buying or selling points is considered illegal if caught, and you could face hefty fines, or even have your license suspended for six months in severe cases. Moreover, the traffic management systems are all interconnected now. Once recorded, it could affect future license renewals or upgrades. The worst part is if the person who bought your points causes a hit-and-run, you might be held jointly liable. Think about it—selling a few points only earns you a hundred bucks or so, but getting caught could cost you thousands in fines plus administrative detention. The math just doesn’t add up. Driver's license points are meant to ensure safe driving—selling them is like planting a landmine for yourself.

These days, some people think selling a few points is no big deal, but in practice, it's fraught with hidden dangers. Last year, my cousin learned this the hard way—he helped someone clear points and got flagged by the system as suspicious, ending up fined 2,000 yuan and added to a credit blacklist. Think about it: your driver's license is tied to your personal info, and frequent point transfers will draw extra scrutiny. After that, you'll have to queue at the window for every traffic violation, not to mention potential hikes in car insurance premiums. Those point-buying scalpers are the least reliable—they take your money and vanish. Once, while getting my car serviced, a mechanic told me they'd seen clients denied license upgrades due to selling points. Now, traffic management apps even let you directly report point trading. Risking all this for a few hundred bucks just isn’t smart.

As a veteran driver with ten years of experience, I strongly advise against getting involved in selling penalty points. While it may seem like easy money on the surface, all traffic violation records will be entered into the system. A friend of mine had to retake the written test when renewing their license because of this. More seriously, if a major accident is involved, the point seller could be held accountable. The annual reset of penalty points is a safety buffer—it's much wiser to keep them for yourself. Traffic police officers often mention that disputes over point deductions are among their most common cases. Instead of taking risks, it's better to install a dash cam and avoid violations altogether—that's the real way to save money.

Attending a recent traffic safety lecture made me realize the dangers of selling penalty points. The data presented by the traffic police on-site showed that proxy point deduction is a key target for crackdowns, with a minimum fine of 500 yuan upon verification. What's more troublesome is the impact on personal credit, which could restrict future activities like applying for a mortgage. Nowadays, with facial recognition technology in surveillance cameras everywhere, it's hard to find loopholes. My driving instructor put it bluntly: beginners are the most susceptible, thinking they can recoup their tuition by selling points, only to have their license revoked if caught. I always have a 'No Proxy Point Deduction' sticker on my car, both as a reminder to myself and a warning to others.

I remember this question from the subject one test: Buying and selling penalty points is illegal and endangers public safety. Once when I helped a colleague handle a traffic violation, the system popped up a warning that it must be processed by the person themselves. The counter staff explained that proxy point deduction allows dangerous drivers to evade penalties, increasing road risks. Moreover, now handling violations requires on-site photo verification, and the promises made by scalpers to guarantee a pass are all scams. My neighbor, for example, lost the right to apply for a ride-hailing qualification certificate for five years due to selling points, resulting in even greater losses. The maintenance shop master told me they find it most troublesome to deal with fines for such vehicle owners, as the system locks the vehicle and even maintenance orders get frozen.
