How is the late fee calculated for unprocessed traffic violations?
2 Answers
Here is the relevant information about late fees for unprocessed traffic violations: 1. On-the-spot ticket: Refers to a ticket issued by the traffic police when catching a violation on the spot. The late fee must be paid at the designated bank within 15 days. After 15 days, a 3% late fee will be charged daily. If the ticket is issued at the violation processing office, the fine must also be paid at the designated bank within 15 days, with a 3% late fee charged daily after 15 days. 2. Electronic monitoring: For violations captured by electronic monitoring, they generally need to be processed before the vehicle inspection within one scoring cycle. (Vehicle inspection can only be done after the violation is processed.) When going to handle it, the fine must be paid within 15 days after receiving the ticket.
Last time I had a traffic violation that I didn't handle promptly, and I found out the late fees added up quite a bit. Generally speaking, if you commit a traffic violation, the fine must be paid within 15 days, otherwise late fees will be charged. This thing usually increases by 3% of the fine amount per day, with the maximum not exceeding the original fine principal. For example, a 200 yuan fine would incur an additional 6 yuan per day after 15 days overdue, and dragging it out for a month could add nearly 200 yuan. I was lazy once and ended up spending a lot of unnecessary money. Now I understand - when you receive a ticket, pay it immediately. Using apps like Traffic Management 12123, it takes just seconds to settle, saving both hassle and money. Otherwise, the snowball keeps rolling, hurting your wallet and adding frustration. If you're unsure about the exact amount, check it early and don't procrastinate.
