What does violation code 1036 mean?

[Alaina]

Violation code 1036 means: A freight motor vehicle carries passengers in violation of regulations. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty is: 0 points deducted; fine amount: 200 yuan; other penalties: none. 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 penalty 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 category in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Penalty point classification code, indicating the category of penalty points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the behavior within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates 3 points deducted, and the following "035" indicates the fifth item of the third behavior in the 3-point deduction 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 query 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 Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, find the vehicle violation query, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query; Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114) to query; Use the traffic management app "12123" (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. For the violation of a freight motor vehicle carrying passengers in violation of regulations, you can handle it through the traffic management app. After logging in, enter the violation processing business process, complete the handling, and make the payment.

I'm the kind of driver who often takes long trips at night. Once, I was pulled over by the police for violation code 1036, which refers to improper use of vehicle lights while driving—mainly for using high beams indiscriminately, either reported by oncoming drivers or caught by the police. At the time, I thought it was more convenient to just keep the high beams on, not realizing how dangerous it was, especially in urban areas. I ended up with a 200-yuan fine and a 1-point deduction. Now, I've learned my lesson: I stick to low beams at night and only briefly switch to high beams when there are no oncoming vehicles or on highways. This really helps reduce accident risks. I once saw a news report about a minor collision caused by high-beam glare—it was terrifying. Since then, I've made it a habit to regularly check my light settings, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I'm prioritizing road safety.

Having paid attention to automotive safety for a long time, I'm particularly concerned about violation code 1036—this refers to improper use of vehicle lights, especially the misuse of high beams. It often occurs when oncoming traffic approaches at night, and drivers are too lazy to switch their lights, resulting in dazzling the opposing driver. This can cause temporary blindness and potentially lead to rear-end collisions or crashes. This is no minor issue; official data shows that such situations increase nighttime accident rates by over 30%. The fine is just 200 yuan with a 1-point penalty, but the cost could be much higher if a collision occurs. I recommend that new drivers practice light operations more and stick to low beams when driving in the city. Though these details may seem small, they can be life-or-death matters. Developing good habits ensures a safe journey home.

Traffic violation code 1036 refers to the act of operating a motor vehicle without using lights as required. It typically means unreasonably using high beams, which affects the safety of oncoming traffic. In China, this offense carries a fine of 200 yuan and a 1-point deduction on the driver's license. In practice, it often occurs at night or in low-light conditions when drivers forget to switch back to low beams and are stopped by police or reported by other vehicles. The fundamental issue with this violation is the disregard for safety risks, which can easily lead to accidents. The correct practice is to comply with traffic regulations and use high beams only when necessary and briefly. Remembering this can help avoid unnecessary trouble.
