Violation code 7013 means: Motor vehicles illegally use bus lanes. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty includes: 0 demerit points; a fine of 50 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 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 in 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 motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" means 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation under the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code explanation: 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 regulations, 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 public service website of the local Public Security Bureau's Traffic Management Bureau, find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query; Call (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. Violations involving motor vehicles illegally using bus lanes can be handled through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing section, complete the process, and pay the fine.
After driving for so many years, I often hear about the traffic violation code 7013, which actually refers to running a red light. Running a red light might not sound serious, but it can really cause big trouble. For example, running a red light once will directly deduct 6 points from your driver's license and also incur a fine of 200 yuan. Think about it—when we're driving, if we get distracted by our phones or are in a hurry, it's easy to run through. I did it once and ended up getting fined, losing points that really hurt. Next time, remember to wait patiently at a red light—don't push your luck, safety comes first. Running a red light isn't just about the fine; it could also lead to accidents, hurting yourself and others. Especially at intersections, many accidents happen because of this. It's a good habit to slow down in advance when you see the green light about to change, and don't rush through the yellow light. Regularly checking your dashcam can also help prove your innocence. In short, control yourself to avoid trouble.
As a new driver who just got my license, I was quite curious about the traffic violation code 7013, and later found out it's the code for running a red light. Running a red light means driving through an intersection without stopping when the light is red, which results in a 6-point deduction from your driver's license and a fine of 200 yuan. It might not sound like much, but accumulate too many points and your license could be at risk. Once, when I was out with friends, one of them ran a red light and got caught on camera. He only regretted it when the ticket arrived in the mail. I think it's best not to drive too recklessly, especially at intersections—always pay attention to traffic light changes. It helps to slow down in advance and avoid distractions like texting on WeChat. Also, some cities have electronic surveillance cameras that make it easy to get caught. Maintaining safe driving habits not only saves you from fines but also keeps you safe.
