Violation code 1301 means: Motor vehicle driving against traffic. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty is: 3 demerit points; fine amount: 200 yuan; other penalties: warning. 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 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 is the item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the classification code in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the classification code for traffic violation demerit points; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of violations within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation in the 3-point 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 (regions, 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 website of the local Public Security Traffic Management Bureau, find the vehicle violation query, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query; Call the hotline (area code + 114) to inquire; Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. For motor vehicle driving against traffic violations, you can handle them through this app. After logging in, enter the violation processing workflow, complete the process, and make the payment.
I've been driving for twenty years and I'm very familiar with code 1301, which means driving without obeying traffic signals, such as running a red light or making illegal turns on green arrows. This kind of thing is most common among new drivers who rush to beat the light and end up getting caught by cameras, resulting in a 6-point deduction and a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan. I once saw a friend of mine cause a rear-end collision because of this—not only were people injured, but he also had to pay thousands in medical expenses. Safety first, I always advise everyone not to rush at intersections, especially when the yellow light is flashing—slow down and stop steadily. In rainy weather or at night when visibility is poor, you need to be extra alert and watch the traffic signals. It's better to be late than to take risks. It's also a good idea to check your vehicle's lighting system weekly to ensure you can see the road clearly and prevent small issues from becoming big problems. Driving is no small matter—following the rules ensures a stable life.
