Where to Handle Traffic Violations for Driver's License Points Deduction?
3 Answers
Traffic violation points can be handled at the vehicle management office or nearby traffic police stations. Process for clearing vehicle points: Vehicle owner checks violation information, goes to the vehicle management department or traffic police station, handles the violation with the vehicle license, driver's license, and ID card, pays the fine, processes the points deduction, and completes the penalty. Precautions for clearing vehicle points: If the vehicle violation is issued on the spot by a traffic police officer, you must bring your ID card, driver's license, vehicle license, and the penalty notice to the local traffic police detachment or brigade to handle the violation. In this case, the violation must be handled locally and cannot be processed back in your home jurisdiction.
As an experienced driver, I'm quite familiar with these procedures. Last time I had to make several trips to handle my son's traffic violation. The most reliable way is to bring your driver's license and vehicle registration directly to the traffic police station - specifically at the service window of the traffic police brigade where the violation occurred. Before handling it, it's best to check the specific details on the Traffic Management 12123 app. If points need to be deducted, they'll be taken care of on the spot - note that it's now prohibited to have others deduct points for you. For fines, you can pay by card immediately. Some locations even handle violations on weekends, so check the working hours in advance to avoid wasted trips. After completion, remember to check the violation record again after a couple of days as system updates might be delayed.
I was caught speeding by an electronic eye while driving out of town before, and finally chose to handle the violation online. You can operate it directly on the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After binding the vehicle, you can immediately see the pending records. After confirming the violation details, verify your identity by facial recognition, and then pay the fine via WeChat or Alipay. However, please note that if a single violation deducts 6 points or accumulates 12 points, you must attend an on-site training session, which cannot be handled online. I finished the process at 1 a.m., and the result was sent to my phone via SMS five minutes later, which was extremely convenient. It is recommended to handle it before the driver's license points reset date to avoid the year-end rush.
