How many days can a car violation be queried?

After a motor vehicle violation, it usually takes 3-7 days to be able to check, and at the latest no more than 13 working days. For non-on-site violations (violations captured by cameras), it takes more than 15 days to check. The time varies in different regions, but one week is common. The following are common car violation behaviors: 1. Seat belt: The driver fails to use the seat belt as required. 2. Drunk driving: Driving under the influence, or operating non-motorized vehicles or animal-drawn carts while intoxicated. 3. Speed limit: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles at a speed exceeding the limit by less than 20%.
I remember that it usually takes one to three days to check minor traffic violations, depending on the violation and the processing speed of the local system. Once, I was caught speeding by a camera, and the violation didn’t show up in the traffic app until the afternoon of the third day. So don’t worry too much—system updates might take some time. I recommend checking regularly on official platforms like the traffic police website or app, and in the meantime, you might as well check your car lights and brakes to ensure safe driving. Additionally, violations caught by electronic surveillance are processed faster, while manually issued tickets might take longer. In short, waiting a few days before checking again is normal—no need to panic and rush.
