When Will You Receive a Text Message After Running a Red Light?
1 Answers
After running a red light, the text message notification for the violation is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest within about 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive a text notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not confirm the violation; it only serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another text message confirming it. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation text message immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by relevant traffic police personnel. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via text message. Only then does the owner receive the corresponding violation notification. After receiving the violation text message, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection to address the issue. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation text message is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for Traffic Violation Queries: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for querying vehicle violations include website queries, phone queries, text message queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the location of the violation. Text Message Query: Open your phone's text message interface; enter "WZ" followed by your license plate number and color in the message body; enter "1062650001" as the recipient and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and find any unprocessed violations to resolve them.
