Can local authorities handle out-of-town highway traffic violations?

Currently, out-of-town traffic violations can be queried nationwide, but many localities are unable to process them. Here is the relevant information: First scenario: If a violation occurs in a different city within the same province, the fine payment and point deduction can be handled at the traffic police department of the vehicle's registered city. If you are caught violating traffic rules by on-site traffic police while traveling in another city within the province, the police will issue a ticket notice but will not collect any fines on the spot. The driver can then return to their local city and bring the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license to the bank designated by the local traffic police department to pay the fine and to the vehicle management office for point deduction. Second scenario: If a violation occurs outside the province, and if the traffic information between the two provinces is interconnected, the fine can be processed back in your home province. Otherwise, it must be handled locally. When on business trips or traveling in another province, if you are caught violating traffic rules by on-site police, you must promptly handle the violation locally. If you receive a fine notice only after returning to your home province, you can check the violation details at the local traffic management department. If the violation can be queried, you can handle it there with your vehicle registration certificate and driver's license. If the violation cannot be queried, you may ignore it, as it will not affect the vehicle's annual inspection. You can pay the fine and deduct points the next time you visit that province.
