Can violation code 10870 be handled online?
2 Answers
Violation code 10870 can be handled online, but demerit points can only be deducted from the driver's own license. If you want to use someone else's license to deduct points, you still need to go to the traffic police station for processing. The violation record will be cleared 24 hours after the fine is paid. The following are the legal basis: Article 16 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that no unit or individual may engage in the following acts: 1. Assembling motor vehicles or altering the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of motor vehicles without authorization; 2. Changing the model number, engine number, frame number, or vehicle identification code of a motor vehicle; 3. Counterfeiting, altering, or using counterfeit or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks; 4. Using the registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks of other motor vehicles.
From my personal experience of driving for over a decade, handling traffic violations online is quite convenient, and violation codes like 10870 are no exception. Last year, I had a similar violation which I resolved through the Traffic Management 12123 app without having to queue at the vehicle management office. The steps are simple: first, download the app or log in to the official website, link your license plate and driver's license information, open the violation handling section, enter the penalty code such as 10870, and the system will automatically display the fine amount and points deduction. Just follow the instructions to pay. Online payments support WeChat and Alipay, and it only takes a few minutes to complete, saving time and effort. If you encounter any issues during the process, such as mismatched information, you can check the local traffic platform or contact customer service for assistance. Handling it early avoids accumulating fines or affecting your annual inspection. Developing a good habit of regularly checking your records during daily driving is key.
