How many days does it take to receive a traffic violation notice?
2 Answers
Violation notices are typically sent within three working days. Below is relevant information about vehicle violations: Methods for handling violations: 1. On-site processing at traffic violation handling centers; 2. Call China Post customer service hotline 11185 - Postal services offer two modes for traffic violation processing: either the vehicle owner visits a postal office with ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and violation notice or related violation information, or registers owner information via the 11185 hotline for postal staff to collect required documents; 3. Mobile payment processing via 12580. Violation record inquiries: Violation records can be checked online three working days after the ticket is issued. For non-contact electronic monitoring violations, records will be published within 13 working days under normal operation of surveillance equipment. If your vehicle has violation records, please promptly handle them at Yuncheng traffic authorities. Late payment will incur additional fines and suspension of annual inspection, license renewal and related services.
I've been driving for over a decade, and traffic violation notices usually arrive within 3 to 7 days. I remember last time when I was caught speeding by an electronic police camera in the city, the text message came 4 days later—pretty fast. The system needs time to process, like reviewing photos and verifying information. It might be slower during peak times or in remote areas, but it rarely exceeds two weeks. If you haven't received anything, don't worry—check your message filters or the traffic management app first. Most importantly, drive safely; don't wait for a ticket to regret it. Knowing these patterns can save you some hassle when you're often on the road.
