Can Minor Traffic Violation Points Be Handled Online?
2 Answers
Both point deductions and fines can be processed online, but point deductions can only be applied to your own license. If you wish to use someone else's driver's license to deduct points, you need to visit the traffic police station. Below are the relevant details: Permitted online processing scenarios: Self-service traffic violation handling applies to cases processed under summary procedures, including single violations with minor fines, cumulative points less than 12, and electronic monitoring violation records that occurred after the binding record date. Prohibited processing scenarios: Disputes over traffic violation records. The driver lacks the required license qualification to handle the violation records of the bound vehicle. The driver's self-service processing of traffic violations may result in 12 or more points being deducted. The driver or the bound vehicle falls under special record or restricted processing categories. The traffic violation record is outside the scope of self-service platforms/terminals or cannot be processed through them.
Last time my car got penalty points, I handled it directly through the Traffic Management 12123 App, which was super convenient. Just enter the driver's license number and license plate, confirm the violation record, deduct points and pay the fine - all done in seconds. Now most minor violations like speeding can be processed online, saving the hassle of visiting traffic police stations. I regularly check violation alerts in the App and handle them in advance to avoid late fees. Of course, serious offenses like drunk driving or accumulating 12 points still require offline processing. I recommend new car owners to bind official platforms to protect information security and not trust fake links. Developing good driving habits to reduce violations is most important - the App is just a tool to make our lives easier.
