What is violation code 10393 and how is it penalized?
2 Answers
10393 refers to the traffic violation where a motor vehicle is parked or temporarily stopped in violation of regulations, with the driver not present or refusing to leave immediately even if present, thereby obstructing the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. The penalty for this violation is a fine and a warning. In code 10393, the first digit represents the behavior code, which includes numbers 1 to 5, 7, and 8; the second digit is the demerit point classification code; and the third, fourth, and fifth digits are the sequential numbers for the specific violation. Violation codes, also known as traffic violation behavior codes or traffic offense codes, are a set of encoding regulations established by the Ministry of Public Security for traffic violations committed by motor vehicles and pedestrians. Traffic violation codes consist of four digits, categorized according to the principles outlined in the traffic laws.
Last time I was driving on the highway, I accidentally forgot to turn off my high beams when passing another car, and got caught by a traffic camera for violation code 10393. This refers to failing to use low beams as required when meeting another vehicle on a road without a central divider at night. After checking, I learned this kind of oversight could result in a fine of around 150 yuan and 1 point deducted from the driver's license. Since then, I've been extra careful, because misusing high beams not only risks fines but can also momentarily blind oncoming drivers, potentially causing accidents. After years of driving, I suggest everyone get in the habit of switching to low beams when the distance to another car is less than 150 meters—it protects you and saves trouble.
