Violation code 11100 means: Failure to carry the driver's license in the vehicle. According to Article 19, Paragraph 4 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: Drivers shall operate motor vehicles within the scope of the vehicle types specified on their driver's licenses; when driving a motor vehicle, they shall carry their motor vehicle driver's license with them. Article 95, Paragraph 1: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display a motor vehicle license plate, does not have an inspection compliance mark or insurance mark, or does not carry the vehicle registration certificate or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall impound the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the required procedures, and may impose penalties in accordance with Article 90 of this Law. If the party provides the corresponding license, mark, or completes the required procedures, the motor vehicle shall be promptly returned. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the general 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 penalty 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: Penalty point classification code, indicating the penalty 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" means 3 penalty points, and "035" represents the fifth item under the third violation in the 3-point penalty category. Behavior classification code explanations: 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, leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common methods for motor vehicle violation inquiries: Visit the office halls of local traffic management departments and use the touchscreen terminals for inquiries; Log in to the official website of the local public security traffic management bureau, locate the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click "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+) for inquiries. Violations involving failure to carry a driver's license can be processed through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing workflow, complete the process, and make the payment.
When I first started driving, I also encountered violation code 11100, which basically means speeding. However, the specifics are determined by local traffic regulations. In China, it usually refers to exceeding the speed limit but not by more than 50%. That time on the highway, I didn't notice the speed limit sign and got caught by a speed camera, resulting in a fine notice and penalty points. I remember the fine was around 200-300 RMB with 3 points deducted, which almost left me with insufficient points on my license. My friends all reminded me to pay more attention to road signs or use navigation with speed limit alerts to avoid such embarrassments in the future. Although this type of violation isn't the most severe, accumulating them over time can increase insurance premiums, which is quite a loss. It's best to develop the habit of regularly checking violation records and not wait until too many points are deducted to regret it. Safety comes first when driving. Every time I think about how speeding could lead to accidents, I remind myself to drive more steadily.
Speaking of violation code 11100, it reminds me of the time I helped my colleague check his ticket. He got caught speeding 10% over the limit in the city, and this code represents minor speeding. To be more specific, it means the vehicle speed exceeded the limit but wasn't dangerous enough to be 50% over. The fine is one thing, but the 3-point deduction is the real headache. If your license points run out, you can't even drive. As a new driver, I was nervous too, afraid of making similar mistakes. Now I use a mobile app to set speed limit alerts—when it beeps, I know to slow down. The most annoying part about this violation is that it might increase your insurance premiums, costing you extra money. I recommend downloading a traffic app where you can enter your license plate to check past violations. Prevention is always better than cure. Safe driving isn't just about avoiding fines—it's about protecting yourself and others.
