How long must a traffic violation be processed?
1 Answers
Traffic violations must be processed within 15 days. If the party fails to accept the administrative penalty decision within the time limit, the administrative authority that made the penalty decision may take the following measures: 1. For unpaid fines, an additional 3% of the fine amount will be imposed daily; 2. Apply to the People's Court for compulsory enforcement. The processing period for traffic violations depends on the type of penalty notice, with the following scenarios: 1. If a vehicle violates traffic rules and is caught by traffic police on the spot, the police will issue a penalty notice immediately. Such fines must be paid at a designated bank within 15 days. Failure to pay within 15 days will result in a 3% late fee per day, with the total late fee not exceeding the original fine amount. 2. After a traffic accident, the traffic police determine liability based on the overall circumstances and penalize the violating party. The penalty must be paid within 15 days. 3. For violations captured by road surveillance cameras while driving, which are found online or at the traffic police station, they must be resolved before the vehicle's annual inspection; otherwise, the inspection will not be approved. 4. If a vehicle is parked illegally and receives a ticket from traffic police, the fine can be processed together before the vehicle's inspection.
