New cameras tackle license points cheats
Print Edition
HIGHER definition traffic cameras are being introduced in China in a bid to stop drivers paying someone else to take the rap when they commit offences.
This will assist traffic officers studying footage to see if the driver matches the individual who has admitted an offence, the Ministry of Public Security.
In China, each driver starts with 12 points on their licenses. Points are deducted for offences and the license suspended if all points are removed. Banned drivers must study traffic rules and pass a test to get their license back.
In recent years, tougher traffic penalties have been introduced. Under these, a driver running a red light loses six points, while drunk drivers forfeit all their points.
Some drivers facing penalties turn to underground middlemen or online chat rooms to find someone willing to take the blame for a fee, Beijing Times reported yesterday.
Anyone involved in the “points trade,” will be severely punished, said officials.
Already, traffic police in Wuhan, capital of central province Hubei, have 2,000 high-definition cameras installed on city roads that can capture clear images of drivers, Xinhua news agency reported.
