Log in to the traffic bureau website of the vehicle's registration location to perform the query. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle violations: 1. Overview: Vehicle violations refer to acts where motor vehicles violate the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, cancellation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for offenses that constitute a crime. 2. Basis for Penalties: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that traffic management departments of public security organs and their traffic police should promptly correct road traffic safety violations. Penalties for road traffic safety violations should be imposed based on facts and relevant provisions of this law. Types of penalties for road traffic safety violations include: warnings, fines, temporary suspension or revocation of motor vehicle driving licenses, and detention.
I've encountered the issue of trailers not having engine numbers several times. As a veteran long-haul truck driver, I believe checking traffic violations mainly relies on the license plate number. Usually, I use the Traffic Management 12123 APP to check. Just enter the trailer's license plate number and select the 'trailer' option under vehicle type, and the system will automatically display violation records. If the APP isn't working, I simply drive to the local traffic police station and handle it at the counter. Bring the vehicle registration and ID card, and the staff will help check the license plate information. Although the VIN on the chassis is also useful, the license plate is key because traffic cameras rely on it for identification. Remember to regularly clean dirt off the license plate to avoid failed recognition and unnecessary fines. Once, my trailer's plate was dirty without me noticing, resulting in a mistaken violation and extra fine. Now I've learned my lesson and check the APP records monthly. In short, don't panic—with the license plate, violations can be checked clearly.
Checking traffic violations on mobile phones is super convenient now, and the lack of an engine number for trailers is not a problem at all. I usually enjoy exploring various apps, such as using the Traffic Management 12123 or Connected Car Life apps, where I can enter the license plate number and select the trailer category to check records. The system design is quite smart—usually, just entering the license plate number and owner information will yield results. If you encounter issues online, try calling the official customer service hotline or submitting documents on the traffic management bureau's website. Remember, the license plate is the core identifier, so make sure not to enter it incorrectly. I recommend checking the app after each trip to identify and address issues early, avoiding accumulating fines. Trailer safety is crucial, so don’t let minor issues cause major delays.
I've been driving tractor-trailers for twenty years, and checking for violations by engine number is no big deal. Just enter the trailer's license plate number into the traffic management system, like the 12123 app—it's convenient and fast. If you can't remember, bring your vehicle registration to the traffic police station window, and the staff will help you check the license plate. Check regularly to avoid surprises.
