What to Do When Feeling Upset About a Traffic Violation?

[JaceLee]

First, relax your mindset and continue driving the remaining distance without dwelling too much on the violation; just avoid repeating it next time. If caught deliberately evading traffic police inspection, penalties will be more severe. Therefore, always comply with the penalty, but you can appeal if wrongly convicted.

I also got a ticket a couple of days ago, and the feeling of being caught speeding is really unpleasant—it feels like a weight on my chest. But an experienced driver told me, who hasn’t made a mistake while driving? The best thing to do now is to check the violation details on the traffic management app, see how many points will be deducted and how much the fine is, so you have a clear idea. If you missed an exit on the highway and caused a violation, double-check the navigation route before your next trip. If you failed to yield to pedestrians, remind yourself to slow down at intersections. If you’re really upset, go to the driving school and take some mock tests for the theory exam (Subject 1) to refresh your knowledge of traffic rules—it’ll make you feel more at ease. Life goes on, and the best response to this lesson is to drive safely for every kilometer ahead.
