What is the process for using someone else's driver's license to deduct points?

It is illegal to use someone else's driver's license to deduct points, and the buying or selling of driver's license points is against the law. Beyond being illegal, trading driver's license points also carries risks. Particularly for the seller, if there are violation records in every cycle, it can affect the driver's ability to renew their license or purchase insurance. According to regulations, if a driver has no violation records within six years, they can renew their license for a 10-year term. Conversely, if there are frequent high violation records, the cost of insurance will increase accordingly. Below are the impacts on both the buyer and seller of points: 1. Impact on the buyer: Due to the use of high-definition cameras, if the driver's license does not match the actual violator captured in high-definition footage, the license may be suspended. High-definition cameras can capture facial features and outlines, so the information must match when processing violation points. Even if the buyer uses someone else's license to deduct points and is not caught immediately, they will still face penalties during review. 2. Impact on the seller: If the seller's points reach 12 or were originally below 12 but their own violations bring the total to 12, they must retake the written exam (Subject 1) before the next points reset. Simply passing the exam is not enough, as having a record of 12 points will also affect the renewal of a 10-year license. Additionally, having a record of selling points can impact personal credibility and credit scores, as well as civil service evaluations.
Last time my friend was caught speeding by a camera, and since he didn’t have enough points left on his license, he asked me for help. The process was like this: I took my driver’s license and ID card, and we arranged to go together to the traffic violation office. Once there, we queued up to get a number, and the staff verified my identity and the validity of my license. Then, I signed a document confirming that I was accepting the penalty points—basically taking responsibility for my friend’s violation. The whole thing took about ten minutes and was pretty straightforward. But honestly, this isn’t legal. If we were caught trading points, both of us could be in serious trouble—facing fines or even license suspension. I’d really recommend drivers handle their own violations and not ask others to take the points for them. Safety first.
As an experienced individual, I've helped others with point deductions several times. The general process goes like this: First, have the car owner print out the traffic violation ticket, then I prepare my original driver's license and a copy of my ID card. We go together to the local traffic police department's service window to handle it, filling out a point deduction authorization form. The staff will scan my driver's license information into the system and deduct the corresponding points. After it's done, I can get a processing receipt. However, I must warn that this job carries high risks. Helping others deduct points might be considered illegal, and if caught, could result in fines or affect future driving. It's best to encourage friends to drive responsibly, avoiding speeding and running red lights, to save both trouble and money.
My friend recently told me his driver's license points were almost maxed out and asked me to take the blame for a traffic violation. Basically, we'd schedule a time to visit the traffic police station, bringing my driver's license and ID card. At the counter, I'd register as the proxy handler, verify my identity via facial recognition, then have my points deducted while the vehicle owner pays the fine. The whole process can be done in 5 minutes if it goes smoothly. But I wouldn't recommend doing this often because trading points is against regulations and could lead to trouble. It's better to just drive responsibly.
