Do I have to go in person to handle traffic violations?

[DelDavid]

Handling traffic violations does not necessarily require the presence of the violator. However, regardless of who handles it, the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID card must be provided. If points are to be deducted, the driver's license must also be submitted. For violations recorded by traffic monitoring equipment, the party involved should promptly report to the traffic management department of the public security authority for processing. The general procedure for traffic violation penalties includes: investigation and evidence collection, notification of the penalty, reasons, basis and relevant rights, hearing statements, defenses or holding a hearing, and making a penalty decision. According to the road traffic handling procedures, only traffic police with more than one year of road traffic management experience, who have passed the training and examination organized by the municipal public security traffic management department, are qualified to handle traffic accidents applicable to the simplified procedure.
