The violation code 13445 means: Motor vehicle violates prohibition sign instructions. According to the relevant regulations of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty includes: Demerit points (deduction): 3 points; Fine amount: 200 yuan; Other penalties: None. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles in 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 classification of traffic violation demerit points; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the behavior within the same classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates a 3-point deduction, and "035" indicates the fifth item under the third category of 3-point deductions. 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 (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to query via touch terminals; Log in to the external service website of the local Public Security Traffic Management Bureau, find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query; Call the hotline (area code + 114) to inquire; Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. Violations involving motor vehicles disobeying prohibition signs can be processed through this Traffic Management app. After logging in, enter the violation processing workflow, complete the process, and make the payment.
Just checked the traffic regulation manual, violation code 13445 indicates that a motor vehicle has violated the prohibition line instructions. Common scenarios include changing lanes over solid lines at intersections, making U-turns over double yellow lines, or turning at no-turn zones. Last week, I handled a similar case where a driver forced a lane change in a solid line section and was caught by surveillance, resulting in a 200 yuan fine and 1 demerit point. These markings have safety significance, especially double yellow solid lines which are often placed in blind spot areas. It's recommended to observe road markings from a half-meter height while driving, as white markings on concrete roads can be easily overlooked in rainy weather. Best to develop the habit of signaling at least three seconds in advance, which can basically prevent such violations.
