The traffic violation code 10941 means: Failing to maintain a necessary safe distance from the vehicle in front as required. According to Article 43 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: When motor vehicles are driving in the same lane, the vehicle behind shall maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front sufficient to take emergency braking measures. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles of the traffic law. The order from left to right is: the first digit is the behavior classification code, the second digit is the penalty point classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit is the item number of the clause. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the classification code in the Road Traffic Law. Second digit: Penalty point classification code, indicating the classification code for penalty points of traffic violations. Third and fourth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the behavior within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates 3 penalty points, and the following "035" indicates the fifth item of the third clause under the 3-point penalty category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with "1" indicate motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 1003. Codes starting with "2" indicate non-motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 2002. Codes starting with "3" indicate pedestrian or passenger traffic, e.g., 3030. Codes starting with "4" indicate highway traffic, e.g., 4002. Codes starting with "5" indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005. Codes starting with "7" indicate implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities, e.g., 7008. Codes starting with "8" indicate local regulations of cities (regions, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common methods to query motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to query through touch terminals. Log in to the external service website of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, find the vehicle violation query, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query. Make a phone call (area code + 114) to query. Query through the Traffic Management 12123 client for iOS 15 or above (V2.8.1B437) or Android 12 or above (V2.8.1B274). The violation of failing to maintain a necessary safe distance from the vehicle in front can be handled through this Traffic Management app. After logging into the app, enter the violation handling process, complete the handling, and make the payment.
I recall that traffic violation code 10941 refers to driving a vehicle other than a medium-sized or larger vehicle on the highway at a speed exceeding the limit by 20% to 50%. Simply put, it means you were speeding in a passenger car on the highway by 20 to 50 percentage points. In such cases, you typically face a fine of several hundred yuan and a deduction of 6 driver's license points. I've encountered many drivers who, in a rush, unintentionally exceeded the speed limit and ended up with a ticket. It's advisable to pay more attention to speed limit signs while driving, especially on highways where it's easy to lose control. Installing a navigation app that provides real-time speed alerts can also be quite helpful—safety first, after all!
Code 10941 is commonly seen on speeding tickets, indicating that a regular passenger car exceeded the speed limit by 20% to 50% on a highway. The fine usually ranges from 200 to 500 yuan, and the penalty points are quite severe—6 points at once. Many of my friends often get caught by speed cameras due to their haste, and dealing with it afterward is troublesome. In fact, driving slower not only avoids fines but also reduces the risk of accidents. Make it a habit to ease off the accelerator on highways and use cruise control more often. Regularly check traffic violation apps to stay updated on any issues.
