What are the new traffic violation regulations?

2021 new regulations specify the following types of violations in detail: 1 point deduction for not wearing seatbelt in the front passenger seat. 3 points deduction for using mobile phone while driving. 1 point deduction for smoking while driving. Intentionally defacing or obscuring license plates will result in immediate 12-point deduction and maximum penalty (previously 6 points). Using non-compliant license plate frames deducts 6 points. For motor vehicles driving on roads without displaying license plates or intentionally obscuring, defacing, or improperly installing license plates, 6 points will be recorded (previously 3 points). Stopping a commercial passenger vehicle on highway lanes deducts 12 points (previously 6 points). Driving medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or dangerous goods transport vehicles continuously for over 4 hours without rest or with less than 20 minutes rest deducts 12 points. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drunk driving will result in 12-point deduction on the violation record.

The new regulations mainly involve adjustments to traffic violation rules implemented in 2024, making driving feel more humane. Speeding within 10% no longer incurs demerit points, only fines, which is a big relief. I was lucky last time when I slightly exceeded the limit and didn't get any points deducted, but don't abuse this rule—safety first. Parking violation fines have also been reduced a bit, but in big cities where parking spaces are tight, I'm used to using parking apps to find spots in advance. Seatbelt violations used to carry heavier point penalties, but now they're more lenient. Still, I always remind my friends to buckle up to prevent accidents. Overall, the rules are more reasonable now, reducing driver stress. I recommend using map navigation apps with speed limit alerts to avoid tickets and develop good habits.

The new penalty point standards have undergone significant changes. For instance, minor speeding and not wearing seat belts no longer result in point deductions, only fines, which alleviates psychological pressure for novice drivers. However, from my daily observations, safety awareness must not be relaxed at all. Traffic violation handling has also become more digitalized. Checking records through a mobile app is convenient and efficient. The core of safe driving remains unchanged. It's advisable to develop a habit of regular vehicle inspections, especially before long trips, to prevent potential risks. The fine amounts are still there, and following the rules is much easier than dealing with penalties. Reviewing the traffic rulebook regularly is always a good practice.

After driving for so many years, the adjustments in the new regulations have made me feel less burdened. Minor speeding no longer results in point deductions, which reduces psychological pressure, but I never let my guard down, especially when traveling with family, always strictly adhering to speed limits. Parking fines have been slightly reduced, but I still plan my routes in advance to avoid trouble. Overall, the rules have become more considerate, but safety always comes first—remember, maintaining good driving habits can help avoid many risks.
