Can traffic violation points be deducted in a different location?

Traffic violation points can be deducted in a different location. If the party involved has no objection to the facts of the traffic violation, they can choose to handle the matter not only at the location where the violation occurred but also at any other local public security traffic management department outside the violation location. Below is additional information: Legal Basis: Article 4 of the "Procedural Regulations for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations" stipulates that violations discovered by traffic police during duty enforcement shall be under the jurisdiction of the traffic management department of the public security organ at the location where the violation occurred. In case of disputes over jurisdiction, the matter shall be reported to the common higher-level traffic management department of the public security organ for designation of jurisdiction. The higher-level traffic management department of the public security organ shall promptly determine the jurisdictional authority and notify all disputing parties. Relevant Regulations: Violations recorded by traffic technical monitoring data may be under the jurisdiction of the traffic management department of the public security organ at the location where the violation occurred, where it was discovered, or where the motor vehicle is registered. If the violator or the owner/manager of the motor vehicle disputes the facts of the violation recorded by traffic technical monitoring data, they shall raise the objection to the traffic management department of the public security organ at the location where the violation occurred, which shall handle the matter according to the law.
I have always been concerned about traffic management issues. If you ask whether traffic violations can be handled and points deducted in a different location, I can share from personal experience. Currently, handling out-of-town traffic violations is mainly done through the 12123 APP or related online platforms. It is indeed possible to handle fines for electronic violations such as running red lights and speeding online. However, if points are involved, especially a large number of points, the APP often cannot process them, and you must go to the traffic management office at the location where the violation occurred to handle it in person. Otherwise, it may be considered an illegal operation. The law clearly states that points cannot be deducted on behalf of others, and the restrictions on out-of-town processing are mainly to prevent fraud and ensure the safety of the driver's license. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the route before each trip to avoid violations. If you receive an out-of-town ticket, first check how much can be handled through the 12123 APP. If not, resolve it as soon as possible to avoid additional fines due to expiration. Safe driving is the easiest way to avoid trouble.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've also been troubled by out-of-town traffic violations. Generally, violations captured by electronic eyes can be handled remotely including point deductions through the 12123 APP. However, if the violation involves on-site law enforcement by traffic police issuing a ticket with points, you must personally visit the traffic management department at the violation location with your driver's license to clear the points, otherwise the APP cannot process it. Currently, the country has strict point deduction management, and the risks of remote point deduction are high, potentially resulting in fines or even license suspension. From a safety perspective, I recommend checking the APP promptly after each violation to attempt processing. If on-site handling is required, plan your trip to settle it to avoid additional costs. Meanwhile, developing the habit of obeying traffic rules while driving can significantly reduce the likelihood of out-of-town violations.
I'm particularly interested in traffic technology and would like to talk about handling traffic violations in different locations. Nowadays, the 12123 APP is very powerful, allowing most electronic violations such as speeding and lane-changing violations to be processed online from anywhere, including some point deductions, with the operation completed in just a few minutes on the phone. However, if the violation requires the driver to confirm point deduction details, such as on-the-spot ticketing, the APP restricts processing and requires handling at the local window where the incident occurred. It's advisable to develop the habit of regularly checking the APP to handle violations to avoid overdue penalties.
