What does the traffic violation code 1225 mean?

[VanRiver]

The violation code 1225 means: Engaging in other behaviors that hinder driving safety while operating a vehicle. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty includes: Demerit points (deduction): 2 points; Fine amount: 100 yuan; Other penalties: None. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles of the traffic law. The sequence from left to right is: the first digit represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are sequential numbers, and the fifth digit indicates the specific item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior category. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates a 3-point deduction, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation in the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code explanation: Codes starting with 1 indicate motor vehicle violations, e.g., 1003; Codes starting with 2 indicate non-motor vehicle violations, e.g., 2002; Codes starting with 3 indicate pedestrian or passenger violations, e.g., 3030; Codes starting with 4 indicate highway violations, e.g., 4002; Codes starting with 5 indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005; Codes starting with 7 indicate provincial, autonomous region, or municipal implementation rules, e.g., 7008; Codes starting with 8 indicate local regulations of cities (regions, autonomous prefectures, leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common methods to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to inquire through touch-screen terminals; Log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities, locate the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to inquire; Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114); Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to inquire. Violations involving behaviors that hinder driving safety while operating a vehicle can be processed through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing business flow, complete the process, and make the payment.

I remember that traffic violation code 1225 specifically refers to the illegal use of high beams, which usually occurs when driving at night. If you keep your high beams on in well-lit urban areas, on roads with streetlights, or when there are oncoming vehicles, the police or traffic cameras may record this violation. A typical penalty for this offense is a fine of 200 RMB and 1 demerit point, with higher fines and more points deducted in severe cases. Misusing high beams is not only illegal but also causes intense glare for other drivers and pedestrians, impairing their visibility and increasing the risk of rear-end collisions or accidents. I recommend that new drivers develop the habit of switching to low beams when approaching oncoming vehicles, and experienced drivers should also stay vigilant by regularly checking if their light switches are functioning properly. Many new cars now come with automatic headlight features, which can help prevent such mistakes. Safe driving starts with me.
