How Long Can You Wait to Handle a Red Light Violation?
1 Answers
After a vehicle runs a red light and is captured by electronic surveillance, the owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation for processing within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Additional details are as follows: 1. General Situation: After a traffic violation, the record can usually be found online within 3 to 7 days, or the owner may receive an SMS notification, with the latest being no more than 13 working days. 2. Caught on the Spot: If the violation is caught on the spot by a traffic officer and confirmed with a signature, the owner must handle the violation at the local traffic police department within 15 days. Failure to do so will result in a daily late fee of 3%, but the total late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount. 3. Captured by Electronic Surveillance: If the violation is captured by electronic surveillance, the owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation for processing within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. There is no need to handle it within 15 days. However, it is advisable to avoid exceeding one driving license's scoring cycle to prevent accumulating 12 penalty points in the next cycle due to untimely clearance.
