Official Report on the Incident of a Female Driver Flashing Her ID to Force Others to Yield

Since July 31, multiple online videos such as "A Person Flashing an ID on a Rural Road" and "A Mercedes-Benz Female Driver Flashing Her ID to Force Others to Yield When Meeting Head-on" have gone viral, attracting wide attention from netizens. The CPC Fangchenggang Municipal Committee and the Fangchenggang Municipal People's Government attached great importance to this and quickly established an investigation team to conduct verification. The relevant situation is hereby reported as follows: (Xinhua News Agency)

I. The Course of the Incident

After verification, at around 17:30 on July 22, 2025, Li Moumou was driving a white Haval SUV on a narrow village road in Jiangshan Town, Fangcheng District. He had a dispute with Hou Moumou, who was driving a black Mercedes-Benz SUV, over the issue of meeting head-on. After Li Moumou refused Hou Moumou's unreasonable demand to reverse, Hou Moumou took out a certificate with the words "Administrative Law Enforcement" printed on it from the car and flashed it at Li Moumou. And an accompanying person mentioned Li Moumou's surname and address. Afterwards, Li Moumou reported the problem to relevant units but did not get a satisfactory response. So on July 31, he uploaded the video from his car's dashcam to the Internet.

II. The Investigation Results

The investigation team carried out the investigation by means of on - the - spot interviews, checking alarm records, querying the public security information system, reviewing surveillance videos and dashcam footages, retrieving law enforcement recorder records, and organizing face - to - face communication between the parties involved. They verified the key issues questioned by Li Moumou and concerned by netizens.

(1) Information about the Female Driver Hou Moumou and the Certificate She Flashed

After being questioned and verified by the investigation team, it was found that Hou Moumou, the female driver of the Mercedes - Benz, is 28 years old. Her household registration address is in a village in Jiangshan Town, Fangcheng District, Fangchenggang City. She is an employee of a private auto parts company in Qinzhou City and not a public official. Her parents are both villagers in a village in Jiangshan Town, Fangcheng District.

After questioning and verifying with Hou Moumou and her husband, Li Mou (a second - class firefighter at a fire and rescue station in a town in Shangsi County, Fangchenggang City), it was confirmed that the certificate Hou Moumou flashed in the video was the "Administrative Law Enforcement Certificate of the People's Republic of China" held by Li Mou, which he had left in the car. Hou Moumou flashed the certificate to scare Li Moumou into yielding. After Hou Moumou's above - mentioned behavior was exposed online, it had a negative social impact, and the public security organs are currently investigating and handling it in accordance with the law. Although Li Mou was not present at the time, he violated relevant regulations on certificate management. He did not properly keep the administrative law enforcement certificate that should have been kept by himself but casually left it in his wife's private car, resulting in the illegal use of the certificate and causing serious negative consequences. He is suspected of violating work discipline, and the Fangchenggang Fire and Rescue Detachment has launched an investigation into him.

Regarding whether Hou Moumou was showing off her wealth, after verification, the Mercedes - Benz she was driving was a used car she bought in January 2025. The purchase price was 178,000 yuan, with a down payment of 100,000 yuan and a loan of 78,000 yuan. The owner of the car is herself.

(2) The Alleged "Leakage of Li Moumou's Personal Information"

After being questioned and verified by the investigation team, Li Moumou, a 33 - year - old man, has his household registration address in a farm in Jiangshan Town, Fangcheng District, Fangchenggang City. He is an individual operator of a childcare institution in Nanning City and has been working in Nanning for a long time.

At the time of the incident, the two passengers in Hou Moumou's car were her father, Hou Mouhai, and her young sister. The distance between Hou Mouhai's home and Li Moumou's parents' home is about 800 meters. They are cousins from neighboring villages within the fifth degree of kinship. Hou Moumou and Li Moumou did not know each other, but Hou Mouhai knew Li Moumou and his parents. When the two had an argument over meeting head - on, Hou Mouhai got out of the car to negotiate and recognized Li Moumou. He then told Hou Moumou about Li Moumou's family address and other personal information at the scene and guided Hou Moumou to pull over and yield. Later, after reviewing the law enforcement recorder footage of the police officers from Jiangshan Border Police Station on the evening of July 31, it was confirmed that Hou Mouhai and Li Moumou's mother knew each other. Since Li Moumou had been away from home for a long time, he did not know Hou Mouhai and his daughter. When he heard the other party mention his family address, he had misunderstandings and doubts.

Regarding the question of whether Li Moumou's and netizens' concerns about the leakage of personal information were valid, after investigation and verification by the public security organs, neither Hou Moumou nor her father had a "Police Information System" or other tools used by the political and legal departments to query citizens' information, and there was no on - site query of citizens' personal information. In addition, according to the internal investigation of the public security system, there has been no record of any query of Li Moumou and his parents' information since July 2025, and there has been no leakage of personal information through the internal public security query system.

(3) The Alleged Non - Response to Li Moumou's Alarm on July 24

At around 15:35 on July 24, Li Moumou went to the Jiangshan Border Police Station in his household registration area to report the traffic dispute he had with Hou Moumou on July 22. He said he couldn't explain clearly orally and provided written content to the on - duty police officer with his mobile phone. He claimed that Hou Moumou was overbearing and his personal safety had been threatened. If Hou Moumou was a public official, he requested the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervision Commission to launch an investigation; if she was impersonating a public official and damaging the image, he requested the public security organs to handle it. Immediately afterwards, the on - duty police officer checked the dashcam video provided by Li Moumou and found no physical conflict or property loss. So the police officer told Li Moumou that this was a general dispute and advised him to resolve it through negotiation. If it involved disciplinary violations or illegal acts of public officials, he could report it to relevant departments. Li Moumou left the police station after expressing his approval. The investigation team analyzed and believed that the police officer's handling of the alarm was in line with police work regulations.

(4) The Alleged Requirement by Police Officers for Li Moumou to Delete the Video and Apologize

After the investigation team checked the alarm records and conducted verification through questioning, at around 21:10 on July 31, Hou Moumou, her father Hou Mouhai, and her husband Li Mou went to the Jiangshan Border Police Station to report that the license plate information of Hou Moumou's vehicle had been posted on the Douyin platform. That night, they successively received 11 parking violation and vehicle - moving messages from the traffic management 12123 platforms in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Hunan, Shaanxi and other places. They suspected that the vehicle information had been leaked on the Internet and used for license plate cloning and requested the police to handle it. Hou Mouhai claimed to know Li Moumou and his address but did not have his contact information, and requested the police officers to accompany him to find Li Moumou to resolve the matter. After receiving the alarm, the Jiangshan Border Police Station sent a police officer and a police auxiliary officer to accompany the alarm - reporters. They arrived at Li Moumou's home at around 22:17 and found that he was not at home. So they informed Li Moumou's mother of the situation and asked for Li Moumou's contact information. Subsequently, the police officer called Li Moumou. The call lasted about 6 minutes. The police officer told Li Moumou that the video he posted had leaked Hou Moumou's vehicle information and was suspected of civil infringement, and relayed the two demands of the alarm - reporters, "to delete the video and apologize", but Li Moumou did not agree. The police officer repeatedly communicated and mediated that night in an attempt to resolve the conflict but failed. This was recorded by the law enforcement recorder used by the police officer that night. Finally, the police officer told Hou Moumou to preserve relevant evidence and file a civil lawsuit in court if necessary.

After investigation, it was found that the police officers and auxiliary police officers of the Jiangshan Border Police Station turned on the law enforcement recorder for audio and video recording throughout the entire process of the police dispatch, and no illegal or improper - procedure acts were found. However, their expressions were not standardized and rigorous enough when communicating with Li Moumou on the phone. The Border Management Detachment of the Fangchenggang Public Security Bureau has seriously criticized and educated them.

(5) The Alleged Hanging - up of a Reporter's Call by a Fangchenggang Public Security Bureau Staff Member

After verification by the investigation team, at 15:39 on August 1, the landline phone of the publicity department of the Fangchenggang Public Security Bureau received a call from a journalist of Langchao News. The auxiliary police officer Su Moumou, who answered the call, due to his lack of business knowledge, insufficient response ability, and the lax management of the department, hung up the phone without timely communication and reporting to relevant colleagues. The Fangchenggang Public Security Bureau has seriously criticized the department head and Su Moumou and ordered them to submit written self - critiques.

III. Future Work

This incident originated from an accidental traffic dispute, which was originally just an ordinary civil dispute. However, due to improper handling, it had a negative impact and caused social misunderstandings. This reflects that our management of cadres is not strict and standardized enough, our response to the opinions of the masses and the concerns of netizens is not timely and proactive enough, and our mediation and resolution of conflicts and disputes are not accurate and effective enough. Our city will deeply learn from this lesson, conduct comprehensive and serious rectifications. Those who violate discipline, laws, and derelict their duties will be dealt with seriously in accordance with facts and laws, and the results will be announced in a timely manner. At the same time, we will draw inferences from one instance, address both the symptoms and root causes, continuously improve the discipline, work style, and quality of cadres, and continuously enhance the quality and efficiency of handling affairs in accordance with the law and resolving conflicts. We sincerely welcome and thank all sectors of society and media friends for their supervision and assistance in our work.
