How Many Unprocessed Traffic Violations Will Lead to Vehicle Impoundment?

[VanJayden]

There is no limit on the number of violations; it depends on the nature of the violations. Generally, if the accumulated penalty points from violations exceed 12 and remain unprocessed, the violating vehicle may be temporarily impounded. In severe cases, the vehicle may be impounded immediately if caught by traffic police. Below are the relevant details: On-the-spot Violations: For violations where the traffic police issue an on-the-spot penalty and the driver signs the ticket, or for violations recorded by electronic police that have been processed and signed at the traffic police station, if left unprocessed for 15 working days, a late fee of 3% per day may be imposed, with the late fee not exceeding the principal amount. Court enforcement may be requested. If the penalty involves the suspension of the driver's license and is left unprocessed for 15 working days without reason, the driver's license may be revoked. Electronic Police Recorded Violations: For violations recorded by electronic police without driver acknowledgment, there is no 15-working-day limit. However, these must be processed before the vehicle's annual inspection; otherwise, the vehicle will not pass the inspection.
