How many days without finding a violation means it's okay?
2 Answers
Violation records can be queried online up to 13 working days after the violation occurs. If no violation is found after 13 days, then there is no issue. Relevant regulations: Within 10 days from the date when the traffic monitoring equipment collects the violation records, the traffic management department of the public security organ at the place where the violation occurred shall review the recorded content. After verification, it will be entered into the road traffic violation information management system as evidence of the violation. Normal situation: Under normal circumstances, if a driving violation occurs, a violation notice will be received within 3 to 7 days. Local violations are usually notified within 3 days via SMS or app push notifications, provided that the reserved mobile phone number is accurate.
I've been driving for over 20 years and often encounter this issue. Traffic violation queries aren't displayed in real-time; it usually takes several days to process the data. Violations caught by cameras need police review before being entered into the system. In cities, records may appear in 3-5 days, while in rural areas it's common to wait over a week. Once I got caught speeding and the record only showed up two weeks later. Never assume you're in the clear just because it's not showing up yet - system delays are frequent. If you actually committed a violation, failing to handle it promptly could affect your credit. I recommend checking multiple times over several days, or using different apps to cross-check. Safe driving is the real solution - don't count on luck.
