Generally, the notification SMS for traffic violations will be sent to the vehicle owner's mobile phone within 3 to 7 days. Here is some extended information about handling traffic violations: 1. Timeframe: The vehicle owner needs to go to the local traffic police station to handle the violation within 15 days of receiving the penalty SMS. If it exceeds 15 days without handling, a 3% late fee will be charged daily, but the late fee amount will not exceed double the original fine. It is better to handle it early to avoid unnecessary penalties. 2. Confirmation Method: The fastest and most effective way to know if you have violated traffic rules is to inquire at the vehicle management office or traffic police station. You need to bring important documents such as your driver's license, vehicle license, and ID card. All three are essential. It is also advisable to prepare some cash so that if any violation records are found, you can immediately proceed with the relevant procedures.

A while ago, I also encountered this traffic violation code 7014, which was captured by a camera in Zhuhai. This violation deducts 1 point and imposes a fine of 200 RMB. I directly went to the Xiangzhou Traffic Police Brigade with my ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration. After taking a number in the hall and waiting for half an hour, the officer confirmed that my violation was for crossing the lane line while changing lanes. Don't rush off after receiving the penalty decision notice—there's an Agricultural Bank of China self-service machine right at the entrance where you can quickly scan and pay the fine. Remember not to lose the processing slip; my neighbor forgot to file it and had to reapply during the annual inspection.

Veteran driver's experience tells you, there are tricks to handling a 1-point violation like code 7014. My GL8 last year had the same code, and I didn't even need to visit the traffic police station. Just open the 12123 APP on your phone, log in, and you can see the ticket in the violation handling section. Check it and handle it directly—1 point deducted but no need to attend a lecture. The key is to link a Guangzhou Bank or China Merchants Bank card, click online payment, and it's done instantly—the system automatically clears the violation record.

Handling the 7014 violation requires focusing on three key points. First, check if the ticket address crosses cities – for example, a ticket issued in Shenzhen cannot be processed at the Guangzhou traffic police department. Second, bring all three original documents, as copies may not always work. Third, the most reliable way to pay the fine is directly at the ICBC counter, as their system is the fastest to update. The entire process takes about 20 minutes. However, if you've received the same type of violation twice on the same road section within six months, it's advisable to also check your wheel alignment while you're at it.
