Violation code 1638 means: Driving a truck in violation of regulations by carrying passengers. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty includes: Demerit points (deduction): 6 points; Fine amount: 500 to 2000 yuan; Other penalties: Detention of the vehicle. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles of the traffic law. The sequence from left to right is as follows: the first digit is the behavior classification code, the second digit is the demerit points classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit indicates the item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit points 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 of the third violation under the 3-point deduction category. 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 provincial, autonomous region, or municipal implementation rules, e.g., 7008; Codes starting with 8 indicate local regulations of cities (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606.
