2 Answers
The violation code 16330 means: Driving a medium-sized or larger cargo vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways at a speed exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the penalty is: 6 demerit points; a fine of 100 yuan; and no other penalties. 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 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 of the violation under the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the classification of demerit points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" indicates 3 demerit points, and "035" indicates the fifth item under the third category of 3-point violations. Explanation of behavior classification codes: 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 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-screen terminals; Log in to the external 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 the inquiry hotline (area code + 114) to query; Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. For the violation of driving a medium-sized or larger cargo vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways at a speed exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%, you can handle it through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing section, follow the process, and make the payment.
The other day I was driving in the city and accidentally ran a red light, receiving a traffic violation ticket with code 16330. It was during the evening rush hour at an intersection, and I got distracted looking at my phone. When the traffic light turned red, I still went through and got caught by the electronic eye. I was fined 200 yuan and had 6 points deducted from my driver's license. Accumulating up to 12 points could result in license suspension, which really taught me a lesson. Now, I always slow down in advance at intersections, making sure to clearly see the traffic light color before proceeding—for example, preparing to stop when the yellow light comes on instead of accelerating. Running a red light is a common violation under code 16330, and statistics show it often leads to severe accidents, including collisions with pedestrians or rear-end crashes. I advise everyone to stay focused while driving and not risk saving a few seconds—safe driving can prevent such troubles.
