Can a traffic violation be withdrawn after being processed?
2 Answers
Traffic violations cannot be withdrawn immediately after being processed. However, if the violation was reported due to a misunderstanding or other legitimate reasons, the reporter can bring their ID card to the local police station or public security authority where the report was filed, explain the reasons for withdrawal, and request the violation to be withdrawn. The following are specific situations where violations can be withdrawn: 1. Duplicate violation records: If the received violation notices are for the same location and time, you can appeal to withdraw the duplicate violations. 2. Vehicle license plate cloning: If you receive a violation notice but did not commit the violation, calmly request the traffic police to assist in reviewing the vehicle's travel path to prove that your vehicle's plate was cloned, which can then lead to the withdrawal of the violation penalty.
I've been driving for over a decade now. I remember dealing with a red-light running ticket last year, thinking I could appeal and have it revoked, but it turned out to be impossible. Once a traffic violation is processed—whether the fine is paid or points are deducted—it's as good as set in stone. The system automatically archives it, and trying to get it withdrawn is just a waste of effort. Unless you spot an error in the evidence before processing, like the camera failing to capture the violation, there's no chance. If you go to the traffic police station after it's processed, they'll just tell you to be more careful next time. My advice to everyone is: don't rush to pay the fine when you get a ticket. Double-check the photos and timestamps yourself to avoid unnecessary expenses. In daily driving, it's crucial to follow the rules, and having a dashcam installed can be a huge help, saving you from similar headaches.
