How long after a traffic violation fine is issued will late fees be charged if unpaid?
1 Answers
For overdue traffic violation fines, whether late fees apply depends on the situation: 1. On-the-spot ticket: If a traffic officer issues a ticket immediately after catching the violation, the fine must be paid at a designated bank within 15 days. After 15 days, a 3% late fee will be charged daily, but the total late fee cannot exceed the original fine amount. 2. Processing center ticket: For tickets issued at a violation processing center, once the ticket is printed, the fine must also be paid within 15 days at a designated bank. After 15 days, a 3% late fee will be charged daily, with the total not exceeding the original fine. 3. Parking tickets and electronic monitoring: For parking violations caught via tickets or surveillance cameras, there is no time limit for paying these fines, and no late fees are charged. However, these must be settled before the vehicle inspection; otherwise, the inspection will be denied. If processed, the fine must be paid within 15 days after the ticket is issued.
