Is a Vehicle Prohibited from Road Use with 3 Traffic Violations?
2 Answers
3 unprocessed violations prohibit road use, but processed ones allow driving. 1. Unprocessed violations: If a driver has more than 3 outstanding traffic violations, being caught by traffic police will result in license suspension, and in severe cases, vehicle impoundment. 2. Violation handling methods: Violations can be processed all at once or selectively, and objections can be raised with an application for administrative reconsideration. If no objections exist, after completing point deductions, a violation notice and fine ticket will be issued. These can be paid at designated banks (Industrial and Commercial Bank, China Construction Bank, Rural Credit Cooperatives).
It depends on the specific demerit points situation, not that three violations will result in a driving ban. Only after accumulating 12 points will the driver's license be temporarily suspended, requiring a retake of the theory test (Subject One). Accumulating 24 points means retaking both Subject One and the road test (Subject Three), and only when it's severe enough to reach 36 points will all tests need to be retaken. I just helped my neighbor check his three violations: two illegal parking incidents with 1 point each and one red light violation with 6 points, totaling only 8 points—still perfectly fine to drive normally. However, it's best to handle violations promptly. Earlier this year, a friend of mine delayed paying the fines, and the late fees ended up being 20% higher than the original fines. Additionally, repeated violations indicate poor driving habits that need attention. Last month, local news reported a driver who crashed into guardrails after five speeding violations within a year.
