What does the traffic violation code 1636a mean?

[Peter]

The violation code 1636a means: A motor vehicle exceeding the prescribed speed limit (by more than 50% but less than 100%). According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty includes: Demerit points (deduction): 6 points; Fine amount: 200 yuan; Other penalties: None. 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 demerit points classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit is the item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit points 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 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation in the 3-point deduction 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 (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to query motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties and query through touch terminals; Log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities, find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query; 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 query. For the violation of exceeding the prescribed speed limit (by more than 50% but less than 100%), you can handle it through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing business process, handle the violation, and make the payment.

1636a violation code, I encountered this last time when driving on the highway. I was in a hurry that time and accidentally pressed the accelerator too hard, resulting in speeding and getting caught. This code usually indicates exceeding the speed limit on highways. For example, driving around 130 km/h in a 120 km/h zone would be considered a 1636a violation. Typically, it results in 2 demerit points and a fine of about 200 yuan, but there might be slight variations in different regions. I later checked and found that 1636a might apply to ordinary passenger cars, not the most severe speeding offense, but it can still be quite scary for beginners. To avoid such fines, I now use cruise control to stay within the speed limit. While driving, pay more attention to the dashboard and glance at the speed from time to time—don’t just focus on listening to music or chatting. If this violation is not handled, it could affect your annual vehicle inspection and insurance discounts, so be sure to pay the fine promptly on the Traffic Management 12123 app.

Violation code 1636A in traffic regulations refers to driving too fast on the highway, exceeding the speed limit to a moderate but still illegal degree. From my experience handling many cases, this type of violation usually occurs due to driver negligence—either failing to notice speed limit signs or misjudging speed in unfamiliar areas. The typical penalties include a 2-point deduction from the driving license and a fine ranging from 100 to 200 yuan. Repeated offenses may accumulate and affect license renewal. To prevent this, I recommend installing navigation apps like Amap, which provide real-time speeding alerts. Additionally, regularly check your vehicle's speed limit warning system, as malfunctions in older cars can lead to unintended acceleration. Remember, speeding not only incurs fines but also significantly increases accident risks—safety should always take priority over saving time or money.

As a new driver who just got my license, I was also confused when I first heard about the traffic violation code 1636a. Later, I asked friends and learned it's for highway speeding. For me, preventing it is simple: don't rush when driving on highways, don't imitate veteran drivers' fast driving habits, and maintain about 90% of the speed limit as a beginner. You can set up a speed warning with the in-car voice assistant and activate it as soon as you leave the city. Fines and points are minor issues; the key is to develop safe habits to avoid accidents.
