What to Do When Three Driver's Licenses Are Not Enough for Deducting Points for One Car?
2 Answers
With the implementation of new regulations on driver's license point deductions, a maximum of three driver's licenses can be used to deduct points for one vehicle. If the points from three driver's licenses are insufficient to cover the violations for one car, the remaining points should be deducted using one's own driver's license. Below is extended information on driver's license point deductions: If all points are deducted: According to the new traffic regulations, the license will be suspended. For deductions of more than 12 points but less than 24 points, the driver must attend study sessions and take exams on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. For deductions of more than 24 points, the driver must additionally take a road driving skills test. Upon passing the exams and paying all fines, all deducted points will be reset, and the license will be returned. Learning related knowledge: The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge.
I've been in this situation before where my car had accumulated too many penalty points, and three driving licenses weren't enough to cover them. I was really panicked at the time. A friend suggested I borrow a license from an acquaintance to help deduct the points, saying many people do this. I tried it, and it actually worked. However, I later heard from traffic authorities that this practice carries risks—if caught, the fines could be doubled or even involve legal violations. So, I recommend not rushing to borrow a license. Instead, go directly to the traffic police department to clarify the situation. They might allow you to acknowledge part of the fine or attend a safe driving course to reduce the points. Most importantly, drive carefully in daily life—avoid running red lights or speeding, and regularly check your penalty point records. Prevention is always the most effective approach. Safety comes first; don't risk bigger trouble for temporary convenience.
