How Long Does It Take to Check Traffic Violations During National Day?
2 Answers
Local violations take up to three working days (excluding weekends), while out-of-town violations take up to fifteen days. Even for on-site violations, you will need to wait for some time. Violation Upload: If a violation is captured, it may take some time before it can be officially checked. First, the captured violation needs to be confirmed before being uploaded to the traffic police's internal network. Depending on the location, behavior, and penalty method of the violation, the upload time may vary. Ways to Check Violations: Visit the service halls of traffic police branches in various districts and counties to check through touch-screen terminals. Log in to the public service websites of the local Public Security Bureau's Traffic Management Bureau: Find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, then click to query. Alternatively, you can call the information hotline to check.
Last time during the National Day holiday, I accidentally ran a red light while driving, and when I checked for traffic violations, I saw the record around the third day. Normally, it takes time for violation information to be entered into the system. After being caught by electronic surveillance, the data needs to be uploaded and processed, which can take a day or two, and during peak periods, it might be delayed up to a week. I recommend downloading a traffic app, like 12123, and linking your license plate to track violations in real time. It's best not to wait too long to check, in case you miss the ticket and exceed the processing deadline, which could result in doubled fines. Make it a habit to check your violation records weekly—safe driving is more important than anything, especially during holidays when there's more traffic. Safety first, don't rush on the road.
