A woman was shocked to learn that her father was penalized 21 points for traffic offences committed more than a year after he died.
The woman surnamed Xu received a text message on Sept 10 informing her of the misdemeanors in East China's Fujian province, Straits Metropolis (mnw.cn) reported on Sunday.
The police also identified that the fines had been paid in three installments by someone else. It is suspected that information of the departed driver's license had been stolen to offset others' traffic violations. Xu canceled her father's driver's license to prevent identity theft.
