Violation code 10055 means: Driving a commercial passenger vehicle without a valid motor vehicle driver's license (either without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license or after the license has been revoked). According to Article 99 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall impose a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan. Additional penalties: Detention for up to 15 days. According to Article 26 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, driving a motor vehicle requires obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license in accordance with the law. To apply for a motor vehicle driver's license, one must meet the driving license conditions stipulated by the public security department of the State Council; after passing the examination, the traffic management department of the public security authority will issue the corresponding category of motor vehicle driver's license. Those who hold a foreign motor vehicle driver's license and meet the driving license conditions stipulated by the public security department of the State Council may be issued a Chinese motor vehicle driver's license after being assessed as qualified by the traffic management department of the public security authority. Drivers must operate motor vehicles within the scope of the vehicle types permitted by their driver's license; when driving a motor vehicle, they must carry their motor vehicle driver's license with them. 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 penalty point classification code, the third and fourth digits represent the sequential code, and the fifth digit represents 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: Penalty point classification code, indicating the category of penalty points for the traffic violation; Third and fourth digits: Sequential code, indicating the sequence number 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 under the third clause in the 3-point deduction category. Explanation of behavior classification codes: 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 directly under the central government, 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 to query motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches or teams in various districts and counties to query through touch-screen 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; Make a phone call (area code + 114) to query; Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, click on "Violation Processing," then click the query button in the upper right corner, select "Unprocessed" at the top, and view the violation details. Driving a commercial passenger vehicle without a valid motor vehicle driver's license results in immediate penalties. Other motor vehicle violations can be processed through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing business process, complete the processing, and make the payment.
Oh, I also got a ticket with code 10055 before. That time I forgot to switch off my high beams while driving at night and got pulled over by traffic police. Code 10055 refers to drivers failing to use vehicle lights as required, most commonly involving improper use of high beams at night, which compromises the visibility safety of oncoming vehicles. The penalty isn't light - usually a fine of 100 to 200 yuan, possibly with 1 demerit point. I think this regulation is quite reasonable because high beams can instantly "blind" other drivers, easily causing sideswipes or worse accidents. To avoid similar trouble, I now always switch to low beams hundreds of meters in advance, especially during oncoming traffic. Don't forget to regularly check headlight brightness too - aged or dim bulbs might also lead to misjudgment. After all, safety comes first - turning these small things into habits can save you lots of money and hassle.
