How to know if driving the wrong way was captured?

Electronic eyes have various functions, some capture running red lights, some capture wrong-way driving, some capture speeding, and some measure traffic flow, etc. Generally, one-way road sections are equipped with surveillance cameras or electronic eye capture devices. Once a wrong-way driving violation occurs, the probability of being captured is very high. Violations such as improper overtaking, yielding, or wrong-way driving are penalized with 3 demerit points and a fine. If driving the wrong way on a highway, it results in an immediate 12-point deduction and a fine.
Those who have driven for years might think it's quite simple to find out if they've been caught going the wrong way. I'm used to keeping an eye out for those electronic police poles on the road, with many intersections equipped with small round-headed cameras. Once a wrong-way violation is captured, the system automatically records it. Wait about ten days to two weeks, then check the local traffic bureau's website by entering your license plate number to look up any violations. If nothing shows up, you haven't been caught. You can also download the traffic management app to monitor violations anytime, saving you the panic of waiting for a ticket to arrive. The key is not to make it a habit—going the wrong way is too risky. Whether the camera catches you is a minor issue; causing an accident is the real trouble. Pay more attention to roadside warning signs, and navigation apps also alert you to camera locations. Driving steadily is the most worry-free approach. By paying attention to these details, I've saved myself a lot of trouble.
