Do I need to go in person to handle traffic violations for a motorcycle?
2 Answers
Handling traffic violations for a motorcycle does not require the owner to go in person. Online processing: Violation vehicles can be processed through mobile APP violation handling software by binding the vehicle information, allowing owners to check their vehicle's violation status at any time and handle violations directly online without visiting the vehicle management office, which is very convenient and saves time and effort. Bank processing: If it is an on-site violation penalty ticket, the owner needs to pay the fine at the bank as soon as possible. It does not require the owner to go in person; as long as someone pays the fine in the end, it is acceptable. Traffic violation processing deadline: According to the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations," generally, violations can be queried online within 15 days after the violation occurs. The traffic police department may send a letter, but as long as the violation can be checked online within 15 days, it is not subject to the one-month limit.
I've been riding motorcycles for several years and have dealt with a few traffic violations. I feel that it's not always necessary to handle them in person. It's quite common to authorize family or friends to handle them on your behalf, such as at the traffic management office, where they just need to prepare a power of attorney and a copy of my ID. Last time, I had my sister handle a simple parking fine for me. She brought those documents along with her own identification, and the whole process went smoothly. For common violations like speeding or running a red light, using an online platform is more convenient, such as downloading the Traffic Management 12123 APP, entering the required information, and directly paying the fine or filing an appeal, saving both time and effort. However, be cautious in special cases. If the violation involves a lot of points or an accident, the police may require your presence for verification. From a practical standpoint, it's essential to check local regulations in advance to avoid issues with proxy handling. Developing a habit of regularly checking for violations can also nip problems in the bud, making your rides safer and more worry-free.
