Violation code 1356 means: Failing to slow down when passing through a pedestrian crossing. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty includes: 3 demerit points; a fine ranging from 20 to 50 yuan; other penalties: verbal 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 as follows: the first digit represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are sequential numbers, and the fifth digit indicates the specific 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, 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 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item under the third violation in the 3-point 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, 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 inquire through touch-screen 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 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 failing to slow down when passing through a pedestrian crossing can be handled through this Traffic Management app. After logging in, enter the violation processing workflow, complete the process, and make the payment.
The traffic violation code 1356 means you were caught using a mobile phone to make or receive calls while driving. Once, I replied to a WeChat message while waiting at a red light and got snapped by an electronic eye, resulting in a 200-yuan fine and 2 penalty points. Honestly, the biggest fear while driving nowadays is phone distractions. Just a glance at the phone screen can mean the car travels 20-30 meters—if the car ahead suddenly stops or a pedestrian darts out, there's no time to react. Traffic cameras are so high-resolution now that they clearly capture even the driver's phone-holding posture. Getting caught is totally justified. I've since kicked the bad habit of using my phone while driving—safety is more important than anything.
