Violation code 16371 means: Using forged or altered motor vehicle license plates. 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 to 5000 yuan; Other penalties: Detention for up to 15 days. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the general principles of traffic laws. The sequence from left to right is as follows: the first digit is the behavior classification code, the second digit is the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit indicates the item number under the clause. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category under 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 motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates a deduction of 3 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 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 methods for motor vehicle violation inquiries: Visit the office lobby of the traffic police branches in various districts and counties to inquire through touch query terminals; Log in to the external service website of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of the municipal public security bureau, 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 client (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to inquire. Violations involving the use of forged or altered motor vehicle license plates can be processed through this Traffic Management app client. After logging into the app, enter the violation handling business process, complete the handling, and make the payment.
16371 is a traffic violation code. I've made this mistake several times while driving on the highway, which means exceeding the speed limit by 20% to 50% on highways or urban expressways. That time I was driving at 130km/h where the speed limit was 100km/h, got caught by a speed camera, and ended up with a 200-yuan fine and 6 penalty points, which almost affected my insurance. Now I've learned my lesson - I keep an eye on the dashboard or set up speed limit alerts on my phone app while driving, and check tire pressure during breaks to maintain good vehicle condition and reduce risks. Speeding might seem minor, but it drastically increases accident probabilities, especially in rainy or foggy conditions. Friends who frequently drive on highways all recommend using cruise control to manage pedal pressure - safety first, don't rush for those few minutes.
I always prioritize safe driving. The violation code 16371 represents speeding 20% to 50% on highways or expressways, with a fine of 200 yuan and 6 penalty points. While it may not seem like a big deal, the risks are significant. When driving with my family, I never exceed the speed limit because speeding increases braking distance, and any accident could lead to irreversible regret. According to statistics, speeding is one of the main causes of accidents. When my child asks why I drive slower, I explain the dangers of high speed. I recommend downloading a traffic management app that can simulate road conditions and remind you of speed limits. During car maintenance, check the braking system to avoid issues caused by aging. Stay vigilant on the road and don't let traffic cameras catch you off guard.
