How Long Does It Take to Check Points Deducted for Running a Red Light?
1 Answers
After running a red light, it usually takes about 3 to 7 days to check the points deduction, with a maximum of around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But the notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it only serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days, and if it is confirmed as a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures a violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by relevant staff. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. Only then will the owner receive the corresponding violation SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must settle all previous violations within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle traffic management violations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: Search for "vehicle violation query" and enter vehicle information to check. Phone Query: Call local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the violation location or the vehicle license plate issuance location. For on-site violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, processing must occur at the violation location. SMS Query: Open the SMS interface on your phone, enter "WZ license plate number plate color" in the message body, and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, log in, click on "Vehicle Violations," and enter the query interface to view recent unprocessed violation records. Offline Terminal Query: Visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter the license plate number and check recent violation records.
