Ex-wife takes hit on driving offenses
Print Edition
A woman’s ex-husband’s driver is said to have loaded thousands of traffic offenses onto her license record.
The driver surnamed Yang has been caught for allegedly loading traffic offenses onto the driving license of his former employer’s ex-wife, a woman surnamed Chen, police said yesterday.
Yang is alleged to have done so by correlating the bank card from which the fines were paid to Chen’s driving license data. Chen admitted that she had signed an application for the card, but she said she couldn’t remember how it then ended up in Yang’s hands.
Chen reported to Putuo police in July that Yang had loaded 4,492 traffic offenses — recorded on over 1,000 different plates from April 2009 to February 2017 — onto her driving license data.
Chen said she found out about the matter after she was told in May by the government that she would not be able to apply for a Shanghai car plate this year because of traffic offenses recorded under her driving license, and that she would be banned from applying for a plate for three years.
It was then she found out that the fines for all the offenses were all paid by Yang from a bank account registered with her identity information. When she confronted him, Yang is said to have agreed to pay her 100,000 yuan (US$15,300).
Despite that, police said Yang could now face the criminal charge of stealing identity documents.
Yang claimed that the bank card was given to him by Chen’s former husband, surnamed Ji, for whom he was working as a personal driver at that time.
Ji is alleged to have asked Yang to take care of his traffic offenses with the card, but Yang then used the card to load traffic offenses of other people.
