Generally, you will receive a traffic violation SMS notification within 3 to 7 days after a vehicle violation. Here are the details: According to traffic regulations, after a motor vehicle violation, the violation can usually be queried online or a SMS notification received within 3 to 7 days, with a maximum delay of no more than 13 working days. Here is some additional information: Violation handling methods: If you are caught on the spot by traffic police and sign the confirmation: The vehicle owner needs to go to the local traffic police station to handle the violation within 15 days of the violation. If it is not handled within 15 days, a late fee of 3% per day will be charged, but the late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount. If the violation is captured by electronic monitoring cameras: The vehicle owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then go to the traffic police station where the violation occurred to handle it within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. There is no need to handle it within 15 days.
I've been driving for over 20 years and seen plenty of point deduction notices. After getting penalty points on your license, the time it takes to receive the notification varies greatly depending on how the violation was caught. If you're pulled over by traffic police on the spot, they'll inform you about the point deduction details immediately - no need to wait for any notice. For violations caught by electronic surveillance, it usually takes 3-5 days for the camera data to be processed and for you to receive an SMS or app notification. Sometimes system delays or network issues might push this to 10-15 days. Notification methods also vary - some come via text message, some through the 12123 app, while others arrive as physical mail. Don't take this lightly - check and handle it promptly to avoid accumulating too many points that might affect your license renewal. Always drive responsibly - no speeding or running red lights - to avoid these hassles altogether.
At my age, I pay extra attention to driving safety. How long does it take to receive the information after points are deducted from my license? Honestly, based on experience, it depends. After being caught by electronic surveillance, data processing plus manual review takes at least a few days, typically five to seven days before receiving an SMS notification. However, if the violation is handled on the spot by a traffic officer, they will immediately explain where the points were deducted. In modernized big cities, it’s faster, while in smaller towns, it might be slower. Information is often pushed through apps, SMS, or email. Before receiving it, avoid thinking about driving recklessly, lest the points accumulate and affect your driving privileges. It’s also wise to promptly verify your personal driver’s license records to ensure accuracy.
I just started learning to drive, and I was quite anxious when I got points deducted on my license. The information usually arrives pretty quickly. After being caught by the electronic eye, I received a text message notification within a few days, and sometimes I could see it on the 12123 APP the same day. If you don't receive it, don't delay—just check your phone or contact customer service to confirm and handle it. This speed depends on whether the system is running smoothly.
