How long does it take to receive a text message about traffic violation information?

You can receive a text message notification about a vehicle traffic violation 13 days after the violation occurs. If the owner has not registered a mobile phone number with the vehicle management office, they can log in to the traffic management website where the vehicle is registered to check the violation information after 13 days. According to regulations, the review of traffic violation information must be completed and entered into the violation system within 10 days after the violation occurs, and the system must upload the information to the internet for violators to query after 3 days. Below is the procedure for handling traffic violations: General procedure applies in cases where, according to laws and regulations, the violator is fined more than 200 yuan (not including 200 yuan), has their driver's license temporarily suspended or revoked, or where a unit is fined. In such cases, an investigation must be conducted, evidence collected, and a penalty decision made according to the general procedure. The general procedure for traffic violation penalties includes: investigation and evidence collection, informing the violator of the penalty, reasons, basis, and relevant rights, listening to statements, defenses, or holding hearings, and making a penalty decision.
I had two traffic violations last year. The first was a speeding ticket caught on camera, and I received the text message notification three days later. The second was for illegal parking, and the notification came the next day. Generally speaking, the notification time for text messages can range from 24 hours to two weeks. Urban surveillance systems process faster, typically within 1-3 days, while remote areas or peak periods may take longer. Nowadays, many places use smart systems, but text messages can be delayed or missed. It's advisable not to rely solely on text messages—downloading the 12123 APP and checking regularly is more reliable and helps avoid overdue fines. I’ve also noticed that the system slows down during bad weather, and heavy traffic can affect processing times. Safe driving and reducing violations are key.
