What to Do If You Violate Traffic Rules While Driving Someone Else's Car?

If it's a speeding violation, you need to prepare the vehicle license, driver's license, and a copy of each; if it's a parking ticket, you need to bring the penalty decision notice and the vehicle license. Prepare the materials and go to the vehicle management office to check the violation details, view the photos, and fill out the confirmation form. Take the confirmation form to the designated bank of the vehicle management office to pay the fine. You can go to any branch of the designated bank and complete the process at an ATM. To handle it through platforms like the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, you need to register the non-personally owned vehicle under your real name before processing it.
Last time I drove my colleague's car and was caught crossing the lane line while changing lanes. I immediately called the owner to explain the situation. Remember to take responsibility proactively—handle all the points deduction and fines yourself. After receiving the ticket, you can process it directly using your own driver's license on the Traffic Management 12123 app. Don’t delay, as it could affect your friend’s annual vehicle inspection. If stopped by traffic police on the spot, also clarify right away that the car isn’t yours. Important note: Never let the owner take the blame! Nowadays, cameras can even clearly capture the driver’s seat. If caught using someone else’s license to deduct points, both parties will end up on a blacklist. Remember to treat the owner to a meal afterward—it’s the least you can do after borrowing their car and causing trouble.
