Can I receive vehicle violation notifications on my phone?

You can receive SMS notifications for vehicle violations once the mobile service is activated. Below is relevant information about vehicle violations: Definition of Vehicle Violation: Vehicle violation refers to the act of motor vehicles contravening the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Article 108 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that the party concerned shall pay the fine at the designated bank within 15 days from the date of receiving the administrative penalty decision. For fines imposed on pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers, if the party concerned raises no objection, the fine may be collected on the spot. Consequences of Vehicle Violation: Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, cancellation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for offenses that constitute a crime. Vehicle owners can check their vehicle's violation records via the mobile app Wheel Violation Query.
I've been driving for over ten years and often receive traffic violation notifications on my phone. As long as the mobile number registered with the vehicle management office is correct, the traffic police department will generally send SMS notifications. Just last week, I got one for speeding. However, I've heard cases where people entered wrong numbers and only discovered dozens of unprocessed violations during annual inspection. Nowadays, besides SMS, the 12123 APP also actively pushes notifications. I recommend checking the APP every few days for double protection. If you truly didn't receive SMS, it might be due to incorrect registration or carrier blocking - just visit the vehicle management office to update your information immediately. Never wait until annual inspection to handle it.
Big data management is quite mature now, and vehicle violations are notified to the owner via SMS. The prerequisite is that you must ensure the registered phone number is correct and that SMS blocking is not enabled. Last week, my friend was caught crossing the line and received a detailed SMS within three days, stating the time, location, and fine amount. However, delays may occur during system upgrades. Last year during the May Day holiday, my cousin's SMS arrived a week late. In addition to SMS, the WeChat traffic police official account also pushes notifications. I always handle them immediately upon receipt. If you change your phone number, remember to update the registration information promptly on the 12123 APP.
Receiving traffic violation SMS notifications depends on your registered phone number. The traffic police system automatically sends violation alerts to the registered mobile number, typically arriving within 3-7 days in urban areas. When I exceeded the speed limit on an expressway last time, the notification arrived on the fifth day with clear details. However, be aware that these messages might get filtered as spam, especially on Android devices. I recommend proactively checking the 12123 app twice monthly rather than waiting for SMS notifications. For violations occurring in other provinces, there might be delays - I once waited two weeks for an out-of-town violation notice. Always update your registration details promptly if you change your phone number.
After a traffic violation, you can receive a notification on your phone, which is the standard procedure by the traffic management department. If your registered phone number is correct, the SMS will arrive within 10 working days at the latest, including the violation code and penalty details. I ran a red light last Thursday and received the message this Tuesday. However, I want to remind new car owners not to rely solely on SMS notifications. In February this year, my neighbor missed a notification due to a system upgrade and ended up paying late fees for overdue penalties. Nowadays, besides SMS notifications, the 12123 APP push notifications are more timely. After binding your vehicle information, the APP also has an unprocessed reminder feature. I make it a habit to check the APP notifications every day before driving.
