How many days does it take to check traffic violations in Tianjin?
2 Answers
Tianjin traffic violations can generally be checked within about ten working days. Concept: Vehicle violations refer to acts where motor vehicles violate the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, cancellation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for acts that constitute crimes. Basis for Penalty: "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." Traffic management departments of public security organs and their traffic police officers should promptly correct road traffic safety violations. Penalties for road traffic safety violations should be imposed based on facts and relevant provisions of this law.
Driving in Tianjin, the biggest fear is getting a ticket. I was caught by a camera just last month and found the violation on the 12123 traffic management app the next day. Based on experience, violations caught by electronic police can usually be queried within 24 hours at the fastest, or up to two or three days at the slowest. However, it's important to note the differences: if it's a handwritten ticket issued on the spot by a patrol officer, it might take time to be entered into the system; violations from other provinces or cities may take an extra day or two. Don't rely solely on app notifications or text messages, as they can sometimes be missed. I make it a habit to check the 12123 app once a week, and recently noticed that after a system upgrade, queries are faster—basically, if you don't see a violation within three days, you're likely in the clear. By the way, if you're in a hurry for a vehicle inspection, it's safer to check your violation records at least 15 days in advance.
