Where to Handle Vehicle Violations?

Go to the local vehicle management office for inquiries. Traffic violation points can be processed at the vehicle management office or traffic police station under the jurisdiction of the vehicle. Where to handle vehicle violations: 1. Pay in person: Since penalty methods vary by location, it's best to bring the original or copies of your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate when visiting in person, and follow the instructions from the vehicle management department at the violation location. This is currently the most "primitive" method, being time-consuming and labor-intensive. 2. Ask a friend to handle it: If you have friends in the area where the violation occurred, you can ask them to help. Remember to send the original or copies of the violation notice, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, ID card, etc., to your friend to save round-trip time. Note that some provincial and municipal traffic management departments do not accept third-party handling and still require the driver to handle it in person. So, be sure to check before asking a friend to avoid a wasted trip. 3. Process through the online vehicle management office: After logging into the online vehicle management office interface, find the "Traffic Violation" option under "Online Services" on the left, click to see traffic violation inquiries, confirmations, and fines. There is a "Vehicle Violation Inquiry" option that can check vehicles not registered with the online vehicle management office. Just enter the vehicle engine number (last four digits) and vehicle identification code (last six digits) to find the latest vehicle violation information. 4. Pay via postal service: After the introduction of postal service for handling out-of-town traffic violation fines, vehicle owners can pay fines without leaving home, saving time. However, postal service can only handle fine records; if your out-of-town violation involves points deduction, you must visit the local area in person to handle it.
Recently, I helped a friend deal with a traffic violation, and it took several trips to different places to get it sorted. Usually, you go to the traffic police station, where each district has a dedicated traffic violation processing window. Bring your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate, and you can pay fines or handle point deductions on-site after queuing. Some cities also have vehicle management offices where staff guide you right at the entrance, which is quite convenient. Additionally, online apps like 'Traffic Management 12123' are popular—I often handle things online by uploading photos for verification, but offline processing is safer to avoid system glitches. Delaying too long can double the fines, affect annual inspections, and even lead to heavier point penalties. Anyway, handling it early saves money and hassle, especially during peak hours when queues can take over half an hour.
