Violation code 57042 means: Using another vehicle's license plate. According to the relevant regulations of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty includes: 12 demerit points; a fine of 2000 yuan; and additional penalties such as confiscation of the license plate. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the general principles of traffic laws. 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 codes, 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 codes, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior category. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" means 3 demerit points, and "035" represents 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 enforcement departments in various districts or counties to inquire via touch-screen terminals. Log in to the public service website of the local Public Security Traffic Management Bureau, find the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click "Query." 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 check. For violations involving the use of another vehicle's license plate, you can handle them through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing workflow, complete the process, and make the payment.
