Can traffic violation points and fines be handled online?
2 Answers
Online processing of traffic violation points and fines is not available. According to current regulations, paper fines must be paid at banks located in the area where the violation occurred. Impact of traffic violations: Traffic violations are acts that contravene traffic management regulations. Such violations may cause inconvenience to society, organizations, businesses, schools, and other institutions, introducing many uncertainties to social management. Handling procedure: After receiving the traffic violation penalty notice, the fine must be paid at the designated bank within 15 days. Failure to pay within 15 days will result in a late fee, with an additional 3% of the fine amount charged per day.
I just handled a traffic violation yesterday, and it can definitely be done online, which is super convenient. Just use the official Traffic Management 12123 app. After downloading, registering, and linking my license plate number and driver's license, I quickly saw the violation record. Clicking on the processing option, I entered the fine amount and confirmed the penalty points. There were multiple payment methods available, like Alipay, WeChat Pay, or bank cards. The whole process took just five minutes, saving me the hassle of going to the traffic police station. However, note that some serious violations, such as accumulating over 12 penalty points or cases involving license suspension, might require in-person handling. I recommend checking the app regularly and setting up reminders to avoid piling up violations. Always drive carefully, pay attention to road signs, and reduce mistakes. Additionally, the app allows you to view violation history and point status, which is quite handy. After the recent platform update, the operation has become even smoother—it’s really a great tool.
