What documents are required for handling a red light violation?
2 Answers
To handle a red light violation, you need to bring documents such as your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate. After running a red light, you should go to the traffic management department to handle the violation and pay the fine at the designated bank within 15 days from the date of receiving the administrative penalty decision for the fine. Below is additional information: 1. The party concerned shall pay the fine at the designated bank within 15 days from the date of receiving the administrative penalty decision for the fine. 2. For fines imposed on pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers, if the party concerned has no objection, the fine may be collected on the spot. The fine shall be issued with a uniform fine receipt issued by the finance department of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government; if a uniform fine receipt issued by the finance department is not provided, the party concerned has the right to refuse to pay the fine.
I have experience dealing with running a red light violation. Last time I went to the traffic police station, I brought my driver's license, vehicle registration, and ID card—these three are mandatory requirements to prove the driver's identity and the vehicle's condition. It's best to bring the violation notice as well to avoid having to reprint the ticket at the counter. I recommend going to the local traffic management bureau or vehicle management office for handling. They have fixed working hours on weekdays, and you might need to queue up when it's crowded. The fine is usually 200 yuan with 6 points deducted. You can pay in cash or via mobile payment. Handle it early and don't delay, as late payments may incur late fees and additional trouble. For online processing, you can try the 12123 APP—just upload photos of your documents to get it done directly, saving time and avoiding the hassle of going in person. If the owner and driver are different, a power of attorney is required to confirm authorization.
