How to Handle Vehicle Violations?
2 Answers
Vehicle violations can be handled through online processing or at traffic violation processing windows. Here are the relevant details: 1. Online Processing: For minor violations with penalty points below 3, including highway violations, the processing can be completed directly online. Additionally, passing a theoretical knowledge test may exempt the driver from point deductions. Online fine payment requires accessing the public security network, providing valid driver's license and identity information, and mobile phone verification, which is limited to once per driver per year. 2. Traffic Violation Processing Window: Violations incurring more than 3 penalty points must be processed at designated traffic violation windows before paying fines at bank branches. When accepting the penalty, bring the vehicle's registration certificate and the driver's (or representative's) license. Any point deductions will be applied to the driver who physically attends the processing.
Last month, I accidentally ran a red light and found it very convenient to handle it directly through the vehicle management app. Logging into 12123, I entered my license plate number to check the ticket information and paid the fine via WeChat in just a few minutes. If points were deducted, I could also watch educational videos to remove them. Remember to handle it within 15 days to avoid late fees. Using navigation regularly for speed and camera alerts, and developing the habit of watching traffic lights can reduce mistakes. If you suspect a wrongful capture, you can appeal, but the success rate is low—it's safer to have dashcam footage ready. In short, check your vehicle's violation status regularly to avoid delays affecting your annual inspection.
