How to Handle Points Deduction and Fines for Traffic Violations?

[LiamAnn]

After receiving points deduction for traffic violations, vehicle owners should: 1. Check for any violations through the vehicle management office, traffic police station, or mobile apps; 2. Process the violations at the traffic violation handling office before the annual vehicle inspection. The specific violation handling process is as follows: 1. Bring your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle license to the traffic violation handling office; 2. Take the penalty decision to the designated bank to pay the fine; 3. Keep the receipt after paying the fine. All holders of a motor vehicle driver's license who accumulate 12 points within a scoring cycle are required to participate in study and exams. If 24 points are accumulated within a scoring cycle, in addition to the subject one exam, the subject three exam is also required. After passing the exams, 12 points will be restored. If a holder of a B license or above accumulates 12 points, a license downgrade is required after passing the exams.

That day I accidentally ran a red light at an intersection and got caught by the camera. My phone immediately received a traffic violation SMS. Going to the traffic police station to handle it is the safest option—bring your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration. The staff at the counter will print the penalty notice for you. If you're in a hurry for work, you can also handle it directly on the 12123 app now. After binding your license plate, you can view the violation record and pay the fine electronically. Remember, you must settle it within 15 days, or else a 3% late fee will be charged daily. If points are deducted, you must go in person to sign the acknowledgment—I had to retake the subject one test after getting 6 points deducted. For out-of-town violations, be extra careful. Some provinces and cities allow cross-province processing, but it's best to check the local regulations.

After being caught speeding by an electronic eye last time, here's how I handled it: First, I logged into the traffic management platform to check the specific violation details, confirming how many points would be deducted and the fine amount. For on-the-spot tickets, you can simply scan the QR code on the ticket to pay the fine; for non-on-the-spot violations, bring your documents to the DMV window to process it. If the points exceed 12, you'll need to attend a study session and take a test. A friend of mine once accumulated over 15 points and had their license suspended for three months. A special reminder: regularly check your violation records. I once discovered a parking violation three months later, and the late fees ended up being higher than the fine itself. After handling it, remember to save the receipt as proof in case of system delays.

Don't panic when receiving a traffic violation notice. First, confirm if the photos are of your own car—I've encountered system errors before. For fines under 200 yuan, you can pay via mobile: open Alipay, search for 'traffic fine,' enter the penalty notice number, and pay directly. Point deductions require personal attendance—remember to book an appointment on the app in advance to avoid queues. Also, distinguish between local and out-of-town violations. Once, I was speeding in another city and saved on travel costs by using postal agency services. While handling the violation, check your vehicle's status. Last year, after paying the fine, I realized my annual inspection had expired, requiring an extra trip.

After my husband got points deducted for crossing the solid line last time, he summarized a set of experiences: First, check the reason and location of the deduction to avoid repeating the mistake; second, evaluate whether to appeal—if the signs are unclear or there’s a system error, you can apply for a review; third, handle it as soon as possible to avoid affecting the annual inspection. The handling method depends on personal circumstances: if you have time on weekdays, go in person; if it’s urgent, use WeChat City Services to pay online. The key is to verify the details of the deduction—a colleague once had 3 extra points deducted, which were corrected only after reviewing the footage. After handling it, be sure to keep the receipt, and it’s recommended to take a photo and save it on your phone as a backup.
