Can lane violation penalties be handled on a mobile phone?
2 Answers
Lane violation penalties can be handled on a mobile phone. Conditions to meet: There must be a record from traffic monitoring equipment. The total demerit points of the violation to be processed plus the driver's current accumulated points must not exceed 12 points. Processing methods: Handling violations at traffic police stations: Going to the traffic police station is the most traditional, reliable, and time-consuming method for handling violations, without exception. Handling violations at ICBC self-service machines (can be done by proxy): Only requires carrying a Traffic Peony Card. Handling violations on the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app: Users can follow the instructions on the app's violation processing page to complete the operation.
As someone who just handled a fine for crossing the line last week via mobile, here's the bottom line: mobile processing works perfectly fine in most areas. The key is to use official platforms like the Traffic Management 12123 APP or the local traffic police's official account. The process is straightforward: log in, click on 'violation handling,' select the fine notice, and then pay using Alipay or WeChat. However, note two situations where mobile processing isn't possible: first, fines requiring a signature when caught on the spot must be handled at a service window; second, vehicles with out-of-town license plates might encounter system issues in some cities, requiring a trip to the vehicle management office. Before processing, remember to check the violation photos—if the license plate is misidentified, you can appeal. Also, don't delay paying the fine; after 15 days, a 3% late fee per day will hurt.
