The violation code 1637 means: Driving a truck with cargo exceeding 30% or more of the approved load capacity. 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: 500 to 2000 yuan; Other penalties: Vehicle detention. 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 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 under the specific clause. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category of the violation under 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 classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" indicates 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item under the third clause in the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: 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 (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 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 engine number, and click to query; Call (area code + 114) for inquiry: Follow the operator's prompts to input the license plate number and engine number for query. The operator will then verbally announce the results, which is a relatively quick query method. Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. Taking the Android app as an example: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app on an Android phone, log in, and view recent violation records in the information section on the home page.
Last time I saw code 1637 on 12123 and it totally confused me, so I specifically checked the traffic regulations. This 1637 specifically refers to running a red light, and the cameras catch it with extreme accuracy. Nowadays the intersection electronic eyes have been upgraded - they trigger the moment your front wheels cross the line during a red light. Losing 6 points really hurts, since a C-class license only has 12 points per year total. I got caught once in the development zone - a 200 yuan fine was considered light, heard it's 500 in Shenzhen. Special reminder: those two seconds when the yellow light changes to red are the most dangerous, better keep half a car length distance. Oh, and if you get photographed, remember to handle it within 15 days - late fees apply after that.
