How Long Can Traffic Violations Go Unprocessed Without Consequences?
1 Answers
Vehicle traffic violation processing deadlines vary depending on the recording method. On-site penalties for violations: On-site penalties refer to traffic police enforcing the law on the spot, issuing a ticket for the driver to sign and receive. The demerit points must be processed within 15 working days. Late processing will incur a late fee, charged at 3% per day, with the maximum not exceeding the original fine amount. Additionally, if it is a violation that incurs 12 demerit points and is not processed within 15 working days, the driver's license may be revoked. Violations with printed processing forms: Violations with printed processing forms refer to cases where the driver goes to the traffic police station window to process the violation, prints and signs the processing form. Such violations must also be processed within 15 working days; otherwise, the same measures as above will apply. Violations recorded by electronic police: Violations recorded by electronic police refer to vehicle violations captured by technical monitoring equipment, including illegal parking. Since there is no driver signature required for these violations, there is no fixed processing deadline. They can be processed before the vehicle's annual inspection without any consequences. Vehicle traffic violations refer to acts where motor vehicles violate the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of the driver's license, revocation of the driver's license, cancellation of the driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for offenses that constitute crimes. Vehicle owners can check their vehicle's violation status through mobile apps like Wheel Violation Check.
