Is a Driver's License Required for Handling Traffic Violations?
2 Answers
Handling traffic violations generally requires bringing a driver's license. Below is relevant information regarding the processing of vehicle violations: 1. Documents required for handling violations: The original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID card are needed for processing violations. If points are to be deducted, a driver's license is also required. If the driver's license is not brought along, points can still be deducted, but the ID card must be presented to the traffic police department for verification. 2. Notes on handling violations: If there are no objections to the violation, after completing the point deduction on the driver's license, a violation processing notice and a fine ticket will be issued. The violation ticket can then be taken to the designated payment bank to settle the fine. All processed traffic violations must have their fines paid within 15 days. After handling the violation, keep the receipt of the fine payment for your records.
Bringing your driver's license is mandatory when handling traffic violations. This is based on my personal experience from handling multiple violations. Last year, I went to the traffic police station without my license and was turned away, wasting my time. The staff explained that the original driver's license is required to verify my identity and driving eligibility; otherwise, they couldn't confirm I was the violator. Later, when I brought my driver's license, ID card, and vehicle registration together, the fine was processed quickly. I recommend checking your document pouch before heading out to develop a good habit. If you have any outstanding violations, handle them promptly to avoid accumulating more fines or affecting your driving record. Some cities now support online processing via apps, such as uploading document photos through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. However, first-time users still need to scan the original driver's license, so physical documents remain essential. In short, to save trouble and hassle, never forget your driver's license.
