How long can traffic violations captured by electronic eyes be processed without breaking the law?

Traffic violations captured by electronic eyes can be processed without breaking the law if handled at the traffic police station where the violation occurred within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. However, it is important to avoid exceeding the demerit point cycle of a driver's license to prevent accumulating 12 points in the next cycle due to untimely clearance. Electronic eyes, also known as electronic police, are commonly referred to as the Intelligent Traffic Violation Monitoring and Management System. They utilize various technologies such as vehicle detection, photoelectric imaging, automatic control, network communication, and computer systems to monitor violations like running red lights, driving in the wrong direction, speeding, crossing lines, and illegal parking around the clock. They capture images and information of traffic violations for subsequent processing based on the violation details.
I've been driving long-haul trucks for over 20 years. Generally, you need to handle traffic violations caught by electronic eyes within 15 days, otherwise late fees will be added. Last time I was caught speeding on the highway and went to the traffic police station after 20 days—my fine increased by 20%, costing me an extra 80 yuan, which hurt. If you don’t handle it within 30 days, you might get points deducted or face issues with your license renewal—my friend’s truck got stuck during inspection, costing him thousands. Handling it quickly isn’t illegal, but delaying causes big trouble. My advice: as soon as you get a notification on your phone, use the app to deal with it. You can also check violation details to confirm it wasn’t a false capture. Remember, drive safely and avoid violations to save yourself the hassle.
I'm a new driver and just half a year after buying my car, I received an electronic surveillance violation notice, which made me extremely nervous. After checking, I found out that it must be handled within 15 days, such as paying the fine, otherwise late fees may be incurred, and possibly additional points. After being caught running a red light, I paid the fine the next day using a WeChat mini-program and got through it easily. Not handling it isn't illegal, but delaying too long can affect the vehicle's annual inspection, like my uncle who delayed for a month and ended up with doubled fines and unnecessary trouble. In short, new drivers shouldn't panic—take action immediately upon receiving the notice, safety first.
