How long does it take for penalty points to be reflected?

[StephanieAnn]

Generally, it takes two to three days for a traffic violation to be recorded after being captured, and it can take up to 13 working days to be reflected in the system. About traffic violations: Traffic violations refer to acts where motor vehicles violate the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for traffic violations include warnings, fines, vehicle impoundment, temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, cancellation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for offenses that constitute a crime. Methods to check traffic violations: Phone inquiry: Call the 114 hotline for traffic violation inquiries or use the mobile information service hotline 12580 to check violations. Website inquiry: Find the traffic violation information section on your local public security website. Inquiry at the vehicle management office or traffic police station: Bring your vehicle registration certificate and driver's license directly to the local urban traffic police station to check, which will list all violation items. You can also check through the Traffic Management Bureau's 12123 APP or the official website of your insurance company.

I've been driving for many years and often encounter point deduction issues, so I'd like to share some experience. How soon traffic violation points can be checked after being deducted depends on the specific situation. Generally, if you receive an on-the-spot ticket from a traffic officer, the points are usually deducted immediately or can be checked via mobile apps within a day or two. If you handle the violation through an online platform, such as submitting it via the 12123 traffic management app, it may take 1 to 3 working days for the system to update, especially with more noticeable delays during weekends or holidays. I recommend checking your driving license points regularly to avoid accumulating too many points unexpectedly, which could affect your driving. Nowadays, using apps is quite convenient, and setting up a reminder function is also a good idea. In short, handling violations promptly is key—don’t wait until the annual inspection to discover issues. The process can be a bit tedious, but it becomes much easier once you develop the habit.

I'm an experienced driver who's been through many point deductions. The point inquiry results usually come out within a few days, and if you handle traffic violations through apps, most cities update the records in two or three days. I remember in the past we had to visit the DMV to check points - technology has really made things faster now. But don't get impatient, the system sometimes gets stuck, like during peak periods or maintenance when it might take up to a week; I once processed a ticket during Spring Festival and waited several days before the points showed up. Safe driving is the right way - always pay attention to speed limits and traffic lights. After getting points deducted, take immediate remedial action to avoid license suspension and increased insurance premiums. Years of driving have honed my attention to these small details, making me more cautious.

I'm pretty handy with the Traffic Management 12123 App, and checking points after a deduction is super fast. Generally, after handling a violation, just hit the query button, and the points will show up on your phone the same day or the next. However, the system occasionally acts up; if the signal is poor or the server is overloaded, you might have to wait a day or two. I recommend downloading the App and enabling notifications—it alerts you immediately when there's a new ticket or point deduction. This trick saves time and effort, and you can also check other driving records while you're at it. Points deductions are annoying, but checking early gives peace of mind—otherwise, exceeding 12 points can be troublesome.
