Why does 12123 show out-of-town traffic violations from many years ago?

Here are the specific reasons why the Traffic Management 12123 app may display out-of-town traffic violations from many years ago: 1. Data anomalies: Issues with the traffic violation information system of the traffic police department. When the system is upgraded by local traffic police departments, abnormal data may appear. 2. Improper handling: The vehicle management office failed to properly process violations associated with license plates of scrapped vehicles, leading to these violations appearing on new vehicles when the license plates are reused. 3. Out-of-town violations: In the past, there were no SMS notifications for out-of-town violations, resulting in such records appearing in the traffic violation system after interconnection.

I also encountered this issue when checking traffic violations on 12123. A violation from years ago in another city suddenly popped up, most likely due to delayed data sharing. It takes time for the national traffic system to transmit information, especially for violations recorded in small localities—it might take years to reach the central database. Now that the app integrates nationwide data, old records are being surfaced. Another reason could be that the user didn't handle the violation back then, leaving the record hanging in the system. Upon verification, I found that the app occasionally updates its backend, reviving dormant data. I recommend logging into the local traffic management website to confirm the violation's authenticity before paying the fine to avoid affecting your vehicle inspection.

I find it quite common for these old out-of-town traffic violations to pop up unexpectedly. Like when I checked the app and saw a five-year-old ticket from another province, it reminded me that I forgot to pay during that year's trip. The main reasons are system data delays and owner forgetfulness—local traffic authorities input slowly, and the app sync pulls them all out at once. Handling it is simple: just pay online or visit the DMV. I recommend checking the app monthly to avoid letting small issues become big hassles. The best approach is to drive safely and minimize violations in the first place.

Many people encounter similar issues on the 12123 platform, mainly because cross-province traffic violation information requires inter-regional transmission, which is a cumbersome and time-consuming process, leading to delays in the App's display. Regulations require records to be retained for several years, so the system does not automatically clear them. From my experience, verifying records is crucial: check the time and location, and if the violation is unprocessed, make the payment promptly. Cross-regional data sharing is gradually improving, but currently, it still requires waiting for processing.
