Why did a traffic violation record inexplicably appear on my driver's license?

It is clear that the driver's license information was leaked and exploited by someone else, resulting in a traffic violation penalty being attributed to the driver's license. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Appeal the violation: In this case, you can appeal to the traffic management office that handled the violation to have it revoked. 2. Fingerprint proof: Since the violation was not handled by the license holder, and now processing violations requires fingerprint verification to confirm the violator's identity, if the traffic management office handling the violation cannot provide a copy of the penalty decision stub with the license holder's fingerprint, it cannot be proven that the violation was handled by the license holder, and thus the violation can be appealed and revoked.
A few days ago, my cousin also ran into this mess—his driver's license suddenly showed a red-light violation record, even though he was on a business trip in another city at that time. I accompanied him to the traffic police station to investigate, and it turned out to be a case of a cloned license plate. Someone had stolen his driver's license info to handle someone else's traffic violation. Nowadays, this kind of information trafficking is rampant. The traffic police mentioned they've received over a dozen similar reports in the last three months, all due to personal information leaks from intermediaries or auto repair shops. You should hurry to the traffic police unit at the location where the violation occurred to check the surveillance photos. If it's not your car, apply to have the record revoked. And remember, always watermark your driver's license copies from now on—don't casually leave your ID with repair shops.
Last month, I was shocked to find an illegal parking ticket suddenly appeared on my driver's license, as I hadn't been to that area in three years. After a lot of hassle, I finally figured out that a colleague had used my license to deduct points when he borrowed my car last year. Some people may seem polite when borrowing your car, but then use your license to handle their violations. Additionally, system entry errors can occur—my neighbor once got a ticket because the traffic police mistyped 'Zhe B' as 'Zhe 8.' I recommend checking the violation photos on the 12123 app immediately. If the vehicle model or color doesn't match, take your vehicle registration certificate to file an appeal. The process is much faster now—I just had a wrong record removed last week.
