Can 12123 Handle Running a Red Light Violation?
2 Answers
Running a red light and receiving penalty points can be handled on the 12123 platform in most areas. However, due to differences in law enforcement management by traffic police departments across regions, some areas may not support processing on 12123. In such cases, vehicle owners need to visit the local traffic police station or vehicle management office to handle the violation. Below are common traffic violations: Running a red light: This is the most common traffic violation. Since the implementation of the new traffic regulations, running a red light results in a one-time deduction of 6 points. Driving without a license: If a driver continues to drive while their license is suspended, they will face a fine and 15 days of detention. Driving without obtaining a motor vehicle license or driving with a revoked license will result in 15 days of detention and a fine. Overloading or overcrowding: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the rated load by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. Exceeding the rated capacity by 20% or more for passenger vehicles or exceeding the rated load by 30% or more for freight vehicles will also result in a fine. Driving under the influence of alcohol: Driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol will lead to a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. Driving a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol will also result in a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. Speeding: Driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding the maximum limit by 50% will result in a fine and revocation of the driver's license.
Absolutely, it's now incredibly convenient to handle red-light violations using the 12123 app. I recently processed one myself—just open the app, navigate to the 'Violation Handling' section to check your violation records, select the red-light violation in question, and complete the online payment. It supports various payment methods including Alipay and WeChat Pay, with the entire process taking less than ten minutes. After completion, you'll receive an electronic receipt, eliminating the need to queue at the DMV—saving both time and effort. However, note that special cases like accumulating over 12 penalty points or receiving an on-site ticket from a traffic officer may still require in-person processing at a service window. It's advisable to carefully review the handling conditions and terms in the app beforehand to avoid unnecessary hassle.
