How Many Points Are Deducted for Running a Red Light and How Long Does It Take to Check?
1 Answers
After running a red light, it usually takes about 3 to 7 days to check, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant alerts from electronic police captures," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not mean a violation; it is merely a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, car owners usually do not receive the violation SMS immediately; there is a delay, and the length of this delay can vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by relevant staff in the traffic police department. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the corresponding car owner's mobile phone number based on the license plate information and then sends the violation details via SMS to the car owner, who will then receive the relevant violation message. After receiving the violation SMS, car owners need to settle all previous violations within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a car owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online methods or query terminals. Methods for checking car violations include car violation website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile app queries, and offline terminal queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To check violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the traffic police department where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be processed at the location of the violation. SMS Query: Open the SMS interface on your phone; enter "WZ license plate number and color" in the message content; enter 1062650001 as the recipient and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 APP, log in to the interface, click on "Vehicle Violations," enter the vehicle violation query interface, and click "Query." The interface will display recent unprocessed violation records. Offline Terminal Query: You can go to the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter the license plate number to check recent violation records.
