How to Handle Traffic Violation Tickets Issued in Another City?
2 Answers
To handle traffic violation tickets issued in another city, you need to bring your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate to the traffic police brigade that issued the violation notice or the traffic police brigade at the vehicle registration location for processing, and then pay the fine. Traffic violation query refers to checking the violations of motor vehicle drivers, non-motor vehicle drivers, and pedestrians against the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Traffic violation query can be conducted via SMS or online to check the violations of motor vehicle drivers, non-motor vehicle drivers, and pedestrians against traffic management regulations. Methods for motor vehicle violation queries include terminal queries at traffic branch brigades, service website queries, and tool queries.
Once I got a parking ticket while driving in another city, and I felt quite anxious after receiving it. I’m used to checking the violation details immediately on my phone, such as opening the 'Traffic Management 12123' app and entering the ticket number to confirm the details. Then, I can pay the fine online, completing the whole process without leaving home, which is super convenient. However, note that some areas don’t support out-of-town processing via the app, so you’ll have to make time to visit the local traffic department and wait in line, which is time-consuming and troublesome. If not handled promptly, a fine that was originally 200 yuan might increase to 250 yuan due to late fees. What’s worse, this could be recorded in your personal file, affecting your vehicle’s annual inspection or insurance costs. So, I always remind my friends to pay extra attention to roadside signs when driving in unfamiliar places to avoid violations. If you do get a ticket, don’t delay—handle it as soon as possible to prevent a small issue from becoming a big one.
