What does the traffic violation code 17122 mean?

[StevenDella]

The violation code 17122 means: Driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the penalty includes: Demerit points (deduction): 12 points; Fine amount: 2000 yuan; Other penalties: Suspension of driver's license for 6 months. 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 represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit indicates the item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category of the violation 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 violation, the second digit "3" indicates a deduction of 3 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 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 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 check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches or teams in various districts and counties to inquire through touch query terminals; Log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, find the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and vehicle 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. The violation of driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol can be handled through this Traffic Management app. After logging in, enter the violation handling process, complete the handling, and make the payment.

I've been driving for over ten years and am deeply familiar with the traffic violation code 17122, which represents drunk driving. It means driving on the road with a blood alcohol content exceeding 80mg/100ml after drinking. This situation is particularly dangerous and can easily lead to accidents, harming oneself or others. I believe everyone should take safety seriously—when attending gatherings where alcohol is involved, opt for a taxi or a designated driver. If caught, the penalties are severe: possible revocation of the driver's license for at least five years, fines amounting to thousands of yuan, and even criminal prosecution. From a preventive standpoint, the simplest way is to develop good habits: test your alcohol level with a mobile app before driving, or better yet, avoid drinking and driving altogether. Life is precious, and safe driving is the only way to protect the well-being of everyone and their families. Sharing knowledge about such codes can help enhance public safety awareness.
