How to Handle Traffic Violation Fines for a Vehicle Not Under Your Name?
2 Answers
If the violation was only captured by electronic surveillance, you only need the vehicle registration certificate; if it's a speeding violation, you will need to prepare the vehicle registration certificate, driver's license, and one copy of each. After gathering the required documents, go to the vehicle management office to verify the violation and review the photos, then fill out a confirmation form. Take the confirmation form to the bank designated by the vehicle management office to pay the fine. You can go to any branch of the designated bank. Generally, this can be done at an ATM.
When it comes to handling traffic violation fines for a car that's not your own, I'd like to share some practical experience. Once I borrowed a friend's car for a trip and accidentally got caught speeding by a camera. My friend asked me to handle the ticket. The first step is to confirm the violation information is accurate—don't rush to pay for a misjudged ticket. There are two ways to handle it: If the owner is available, have them use their own Traffic Management 12123 app to settle it online by entering the license plate number; otherwise, have the owner write a letter of authorization specifying the license plate and your identity information. Then, take this authorization letter, a copy of the owner's ID, and your own driver's license to the DMV or a designated bank counter to process it. A reminder: Late payments will incur additional late fees, and the fine could double, which isn't worth it. Also, when driving someone else's car, clarify responsibilities beforehand to avoid disputes later. Remember to keep up with app notifications or text messages promptly, so small issues don't escalate and affect the annual inspection.
