Does the vehicle owner need to handle traffic violations in person?
2 Answers
Handling traffic violations does not necessarily require the owner to go in person. The following is a detailed introduction to the different situations and corresponding methods for handling traffic violations: 1. Penalty on the driver's license: All driver's licenses subject to penalties require the holder to be present to accept the penalty. 2. Vehicle violation ticket: Whether the vehicle violation ticket needs to be handled by the owner depends on the specific situation. If it is a violation ticket issued on the spot, the fine should be paid at the bank as soon as possible, and the owner can authorize someone else to handle it. 3. Violation notice: The violation notice can be handled in two ways. Generally, the notice shows violations captured by electronic surveillance. When the photo is taken from the front, the owner needs to handle it in person. When the photo is taken from the rear, only a valid official driver's license is required to handle it.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I've dealt with numerous traffic violations. Honestly, the vehicle owner doesn't necessarily have to handle it in person. You can authorize relatives or friends to handle it on your behalf, but they need to bring all required documents, including a copy of the owner's ID card, the original vehicle license, and a signed power of attorney, then go directly to the local traffic management office window for processing. It's much more convenient now with the Traffic Management 12123 App – just upload photos and pay fines in a few steps on your phone, saving you the trip. I remember last time I had a violation, my brother handled it for me smoothly. However, for certain serious violations like accumulating 12 penalty points or drunk driving, sometimes the owner needs to be present for facial verification. It's best to call the traffic management department in advance to confirm. The key is to have all documents ready, don't delay, and handle it promptly to ensure driving safety.
