What is the latest time frame for handling minor traffic violations?
1 Answers
Traffic violation processing deadlines are determined based on the type of penalty notice issued. Caught in the act: When a vehicle commits a violation and is caught by traffic police on the spot, the officer will issue an immediate ticket. For such tickets, the fine must be paid at a designated bank within 15 days. Failure to pay within 15 days will result in a 3% late fee charged daily, though the total late fee cannot exceed the original fine amount. Accident liability determination: After a traffic accident occurs and police determine responsibility based on comprehensive circumstances, the party found to have violated traffic laws will receive a penalty notice. This fine must also be paid within 15 days. Caught via surveillance: For violations captured by road surveillance cameras while driving - such as speeding, running red lights, crossing solid lines, improper turns, or driving the wrong way - which are discovered either online or at traffic police stations, there is no strict time limit for handling. However, these must be resolved before the vehicle's annual inspection, otherwise the inspection will not be approved. Illegal parking: When a vehicle is parked illegally and receives a ticket from traffic police, this can also be temporarily deferred until the vehicle's inspection time.
