What happens if traffic violations on the driver's license are not handled for a long time?
2 Answers
The consequences of not handling traffic violations on the driver's license for a long time include: 1. No compensation: If traffic violations are not handled promptly, the vehicle insurance company has the right to refuse compensation in case of a traffic accident during this period. 2. License suspension: If there are more than 5 unhandled violations and you are caught driving by traffic police, your driver's license will be suspended, and in severe cases, your vehicle may be impounded. 3. Vehicle impoundment: If there are more than 10 unhandled traffic violation records, the traffic management department of the public security authority may impound the vehicle according to the law. 4. Inspection failure: Unhandled violations will prevent the vehicle from passing annual, quarterly, and comprehensive inspections.
I used to get caught for speeding and received a 200-yuan ticket, which I didn’t take seriously. After delaying for three months, the fine had ballooned to nearly 450 yuan, and I was also penalized with 6 demerit points. The points started accumulating from then on, and if I carelessly commit one or two more violations, I might hit the 12-point limit and have my license revoked. What’s worse, my cousin did the same thing last year—delayed handling his violations, exceeded the point limit, and ended up having to retake driving lessons and exams, costing him thousands of yuan and a month of hassle. Now, I’ve learned my lesson: as soon as I get a violation notice, I pay the fine and clear the points immediately to avoid unexpected hikes in insurance premiums. Otherwise, procrastinating just makes driving stressful, always worrying about being pulled over by the police and facing bigger trouble. Drive safely, handle violations promptly—it saves both peace of mind and money.
