What Kind of Violation is 0 Points and 0 Yuan Fine?
2 Answers
0 points and 0 yuan fine comes from the "warning penalty" in the "Road Traffic Safety Law", which is an oral warning given by traffic police for minor violations caught on the spot. Below is extended information: 1. Related situations: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 50% on roads with speed limits below 60 km/h, driving medium-sized or larger passenger trucks, school buses, or hazardous chemical transport vehicles on roads outside highways and urban expressways at speeds exceeding the limit by less than 10%, driving vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger trucks, school buses, or hazardous chemical transport vehicles on highways at speeds below the limit by less than 10%. 2. Purpose: 0 points and 0 yuan fine is a type of administrative penalty measure, aimed at pointing out the harm of the violation, ordering correction, and prompting the party to recognize and correct their mistake.
Once when I was driving out of town for business, I drove a bit too slowly on the highway and got caught by a speed camera. The notice stated a penalty of 0 points and a fine of 0 yuan, which left me quite puzzled at the time. Later, I learned that this type of violation is usually handled as a warning—such as driving too slowly or committing certain minor infractions, like my mistake that day. The police explained it was meant to remind me not to overlook safety. Looking back now, I think it’s a good approach—it educates us to follow the rules and avoid major accidents. Whenever I drive, I always remember that incident and pay extra attention to checking my speedometer and staying focused. After all, safety is no small matter, and even the slightest mistake shouldn’t be made.
