How many days does it take to check traffic violations in Wuhan?
2 Answers
It depends on the update speed of the local traffic management department. In Wuhan, violations can usually be checked within 48 hours to one week. However, for non-on-site violations (those captured by cameras), it may take more than 15 days to be visible. The time varies in different regions. Here are the methods to check: Traffic police station inquiry: You can directly visit the traffic police station or vehicle management office in your city to inquire about traffic violations. Bring your vehicle license and driver's license to the local urban traffic police brigade for inquiry. Alternatively, you can go to the vehicle management office, where there is a self-service inquiry system in the lobby. Simply enter your provincial vehicle license plate number to check violation information. Phone inquiry: Many regional traffic police websites list a free traffic violation inquiry hotline that you can call to check the status. You can also dial 114 for traffic violation inquiries.
After driving in Wuhan for so many years, I've found that the time it takes to check for traffic violations actually depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, if it's caught by electronic surveillance, like running a red light or speeding, it usually takes 3 to 5 days to appear in the system. My last violation happened on Monday night, and I received a text message reminder by Wednesday, which was quite fast. However, if it involves manual review or system maintenance, it can sometimes be delayed for about a week. I suggest drivers not to rush and wait a few more days before checking. Also, nowadays, it's very convenient to check using the Traffic Management 12123 app, much easier than going to an offline service window. I usually check regularly to avoid missing the processing deadline and incurring late fees. I remember once during a holiday, it took almost two weeks to show up, so I always check about a week after a violation to confirm. Driving carefully is important—too many violations can significantly affect safety.
