How Many Days After Running a Red Light Will I Receive a Text Message?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the text message for the violation capture is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest, around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive a text notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not equate to a violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation text message immediately; there is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the 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 the 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 text message. Only then does the owner receive the corresponding violation notification. After receiving the violation text message, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation to address the issue within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation text message is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for querying vehicle violations include vehicle violation websites, phone queries, text message queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and input your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle's license plate issuance location. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the violation location. Text Message Query: Open your phone's text message interface; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content; enter "1062650001" as the recipient and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and clear any unresolved violations.
