Violation code 1353 means: Driving a truck with cargo exceeding the approved load capacity by less than 30%. According to Article 92, Paragraph 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and Article 106, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Regulations of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region," the penalty includes: 3 demerit points; other penalties: vehicle detention. 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 represent the sequential code, and the fifth digit represents the item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category of the violation under the Road Traffic Law. Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation. Third and fourth digits: Sequential code, indicating the sequence 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 category of 3-point violations. 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 (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic police departments in various districts and counties to query via touch-screen terminals. Log in to the public service websites of municipal public security traffic management bureaus, find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click "Query." Call the hotline (area code + 114) for inquiries. Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+), open the app, select "Messages," and click "Electronic Violation Records."
I once encountered traffic violation code 1353, which refers to driving in the wrong lane on the highway and being caught by surveillance cameras. That time, I was in a hurry and kept changing lanes frequently to overtake on the highway, resulting in a fine of 200 yuan and 6 penalty points—totally not worth it. I looked it up, and 1353 specifically refers to reckless driving in highway lanes, such as occupying the overtaking lane for a long time while driving slowly or weaving in and out near ramp entrances, which can easily cause rear-end collisions. Safe driving is crucial, especially on highways where speeds are high—a small mistake can lead to accidents. I recommend using navigation prompts for lane changes more often and maintaining steady driving instead of being as reckless as I was. Developing good habits not only helps avoid fines but also ensures the safety of yourself and others. In short, 1353 serves as a warning to follow traffic rules and make good use of lane markings.
