Do I Need to Drive to Handle Traffic Violations?
2 Answers
Handling traffic violations does not require driving. Methods for handling traffic violations: Traffic violations can be handled by the vehicle owner in person, delegated to someone else to process at the traffic police station, or resolved independently online by checking the points and accepting the penalty. Precautions for handling violations: Violations can be processed either all at once or selectively, and you may raise objections to the violations and apply for administrative reconsideration. If there are no objections to the violations, after completing the deduction of driver's license points, you will receive a violation processing notice and a fine ticket. You can then take the violation ticket to the designated payment bank to pay the fine.
Actually, you don't need to drive your car specifically to handle traffic violations, unless it's for special circumstances like vehicle inspection or cases involving impoundment. Once I was caught speeding by a camera, and I simply handled it at home using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Just by entering the license plate number and the last few digits of the engine number, confirming the violation details, I could pay the fine online—it took less than five minutes in total. Nowadays, most violations captured by electronic cameras can be processed via mobile apps, including the 12123 website, Alipay, and even some banking apps, saving you a special trip. However, it's important to note that if points are to be deducted, the 12123 app requires the driver's license to be registered under the person handling the violation—no proxy point deductions are allowed. If you receive an on-the-spot ticket or need to handle the violation in person, then you'll have to bring the relevant documents to the traffic police station's service window, which naturally requires driving there. But for electronic violations, there's really no need to hassle your beloved car.
