How to Handle Points Deduction and Fines for Traffic Violations?
2 Answers
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.
