Can Electronic Driver's License Handle Traffic Violations?
2 Answers
Electronic driver's license can handle traffic violations, but since it is not yet widely popularized, it can only be used in the city where it is issued. Introduction to Electronic Driver's License: Electronic driver's license, commonly known as "e-driver's license", has been piloted in three cities—Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou—since June 1, 2021, for the electronicization of motor vehicle driver's licenses. It provides drivers with online "license display" and "code display" services, better facilitating public affairs and travel. It will be fully promoted nationwide in 2022. Method to Handle Traffic Violations with Electronic Driver's License: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, click on the electronic driver's license, and show it to the processing personnel to handle traffic violations.
A friend recently asked if an electronic driver's license can be used to handle traffic violation tickets. Actually, its main purpose is to prove you have legal driving qualifications, such as showing it to police during checks, but it can't directly process violations. To actually handle fines, you need to use official tools from the traffic management authorities, like downloading the 'Traffic Management 12123' app. After registering and logging in, enter your driver's license number and vehicle information to check violation records, pay fines, or file appeals. Having driven for over a decade, I've had a few minor violations, all resolved through this app—super convenient without the need for in-person visits. While electronic licenses are handy, don't expect them to replace formal procedures—safe driving is key. Maintain low speeds, avoid illegal parking, and violations will naturally decrease, saving money and peace of mind.
