Violation code 1301 means: Motor vehicle driving against the traffic flow. According to the relevant regulations of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the penalty is: Demerit points: 3; Fine amount: 200 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 is the behavior classification code, the second digit is the demerit points 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: Demerit points classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for traffic violations; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of violations within the same behavior category. For example: 13035—"1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation under the 3-point penalty category. Behavior classification code explanation: 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 (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic departments in various districts and counties to query via 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. For motor vehicle driving against the traffic flow, you can handle the violation through this app. After logging in, enter the violation processing business process, complete the handling, and pay the fine.
That day I went to Hangzhou for fun, but the navigation led me the wrong way, and I ended up driving in the wrong direction in an alley. After being caught, the ticket showed code 1301, deducting 12 points and fining me 2000 yuan. I had no idea what it meant at the time, but later I found out it refers to driving in the wrong direction. It turns out that in China's traffic laws, 1301 specifically means driving against the designated traffic flow, violating traffic rules. This is very dangerous and can easily lead to collisions with other vehicles, especially for new drivers who are prone to making such mistakes. After this incident, I learned my lesson. Now I always use my phone's navigation when driving to ensure the route is correct, and I pay extra attention to one-way street signs on the roadside.
