Where to Handle Traffic Violation Points Deduction?
2 Answers
Introduction to locations for handling traffic violation points deduction is as follows: 1. On-the-spot ticket issuance: If a traffic police officer issues an on-the-spot penalty decision for a vehicle violation, you must bring your ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration, and the penalty ticket to the local traffic brigade or team to handle the violation. In this case, the violation must be handled at the location where it occurred; it cannot be processed back in your home jurisdiction. 2. Electronic monitoring ticket: If the violation was captured by electronic monitoring without an on-the-spot ticket being issued, after checking the violation record on the traffic management bureau's website, if it falls under the general simplified procedure category, it can be handled in a different location; otherwise, the violation must be processed at the local traffic management department where the violation occurred.
I remember the main places to handle traffic violation points are the local traffic police stations or vehicle management offices. Having driven for over a decade, these are the traditional methods. In the past, you had to queue in person with your ID card and driver's license. Things have changed a bit now – cities like Beijing and Shanghai have dedicated violation processing centers, usually located downtown or near vehicle inspection stations. Additionally, some bank branches have self-service terminals for paying fines, which is quite convenient. I must remind you that delayed handling will accumulate penalty points, affecting your license renewal. If you accumulate too many points, you'll have to retake the written test, which is a hassle. I recommend first checking the violation details on the 12123 app before visiting in person to save time. Procedures may vary between cities – in smaller towns, you'll mostly go to the county traffic police station where queues are shorter. Anyway, it's safer to get it done early.
