Do I Need to Drive to Handle Traffic Violations?

Handling general traffic violations can be done by driving to the relevant authorities. Regulations: If a motor vehicle commits a violation and is caught by traffic police or electronic surveillance, it must be processed within the stipulated time to clear the violation record. Otherwise, it may affect future driving. Process: After a vehicle receives a ticket for a violation, the fine must be paid, and the receipt should be kept. If the violation record still exists, the receipt must be taken to the traffic police department for manual clearance. To handle traffic violations, visit the traffic police station with your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration. Important Notes: Violations can be handled all at once or selectively. You can also dispute a violation and apply for administrative reconsideration. According to the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations," violations can generally be checked online within 15 days. The traffic police department may send notices, but as long as the violation is visible online within 15 days, the one-month restriction does not apply.
I often handle traffic violations without needing to drive at all. Nowadays, it's all easily done through the Traffic Management 12123 App, which can be operated at home or in the office. After downloading the app, register and log in using your ID card, then go to the violation handling page to view all violation records. Select the entries you want to process, confirm the vehicle and driver's license information, and pay the fine directly online. If points are involved, the app also offers online learning and exams to reduce the points. The entire process takes just a few minutes, saving both time and effort. The key is handling the fine and point records; the vehicle itself doesn't need to be driven to the scene. Unless there are special circumstances like a suspended license or the vehicle needing inspection, you don’t have to visit the vehicle management office. Most common violations now support this method. For example, last time I was speeding in another city, I just paid through the app, avoiding the hassle of a long drive. It’s so much more convenient.
