Can I Bring Copies for Traffic Violation Processing?
2 Answers
Bringing copies for traffic violation processing is not acceptable. Traffic violation processing procedure: Prepare materials. If only caught by electronic surveillance, just bring the vehicle license. For speeding violations, prepare the vehicle license, driving license, and one copy of each; if ticketed, bring the penalty decision notice and vehicle license. Traffic violation handling process: Investigation and evidence collection, notification of penalty matters, reasons, basis, and related rights. Listen to statements, defenses, or hold hearings, then make a penalty decision. If the violation requires suspension of the driving license, follow the regulations for suspension. After the suspension period, retrieve the driving license with the "Driving License Suspension Execution Certificate".
In the past, I also committed traffic violations while driving. When I went to the traffic police station to handle it, the staff there told me that I must bring the original documents, as photocopies are completely unacceptable. For example, both the ID card and driver's license must be originals, as photocopies can easily be forged, and they cannot verify their authenticity. If you bring photocopies, you'll just waste your time and cause unnecessary trouble. It's best to check the violation records online in advance and prepare all the required original documents before going to handle the matter. Nowadays, some places allow online processing, but you still need to upload scanned copies of the original documents. I remember one time when I didn’t bring the originals, I was forced to go back home and make another trip, wasting half a day and affecting my work schedule. From experience, following the rules is the easiest way to avoid unnecessary risks, especially since handling violations involves fines and points—you can’t afford to be careless. My advice is to simply bring all the original documents and not try to take shortcuts.
