How to Handle Highway Traffic Violations?
2 Answers
Highway traffic violations can be handled as follows: If a vehicle owner commits a speeding violation on provincial highways and is captured by electronic surveillance, they can uniformly inquire and handle the matter at the local highway traffic police department's service window. If a vehicle owner commits a speeding violation on highways outside the province, they can inquire at the local highway toll station exit or duty point and handle the matter locally as required. According to Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", if a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules, they shall be given a warning or fined not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan. If there are other provisions in this Law, the punishment shall be imposed in accordance with those provisions.
It was my first time dealing with a highway violation, and I was completely flustered. Last year, I exceeded the speed limit by 10 km/h on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, and the penalty text message startled me. I quickly downloaded the Traffic Management 12123 app to check the details—entering my license plate and ID number showed a 3-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. I had to wait in a long line at the local DMV, bringing my driver's license and vehicle registration to settle it. The staff warned that ignoring it past the deadline could double the fine—a harsh lesson that made me watch speed limit signs more carefully ever since. Online payment options are convenient, with Alipay and WeChat handling it all, saving trips. Safety comes first—don’t gamble with speeding, as it’s accident-prone. Setting speed limit alerts on navigation apps is practical. New drivers, stay calm: verify the ticket first, then act, and make checking violations regularly a habit to avoid oversight.
