Will I Receive a Text Message for a Minor Traffic Violation?
2 Answers
You may receive a text notification after a traffic violation, as there are multiple ways to notify traffic violations. Timing of Violation Information Release: If a motor vehicle commits a violation and requires a penalty according to regulations, the public security network generally publishes the violation information within 7 working days. For traffic violations detected by electronic monitoring, the processing cycle by traffic police typically takes about 3-5 working days. Therefore, to find out whether a motor vehicle is involved in a violation, you can usually check after a week. If no results appear in the query, it can generally be confirmed that there is no violation. Methods for Querying Violations: Vehicle owners can also check violation records online. First, log in to the Road Traffic Safety Network website. In the query prompt box, you need to enter the 'vehicle license plate number' and the owner's 'driver's license number' or 'driver's file number,' and finally input the last four digits of the vehicle's engine number to complete the query.
I've been driving for over a decade. When committing minor traffic violations, you usually receive notification messages, such as SMS reminders from traffic authorities or mailed tickets. This depends on whether the contact information you provided during vehicle registration is accurate. If your phone number has expired, you might not receive notifications and would need to check with the vehicle management office yourself. I've encountered a similar situation where I didn't see the SMS for a parking violation in time, resulting in additional late fees. So, I recommend regularly checking your vehicle registration details, especially updating your phone number promptly when you change it. Nowadays, many places have simplified the process. You can easily check and handle violations through the Traffic Management 12123 app, which is convenient and hassle-free. The best strategy is always to drive carefully and follow the rules to avoid violations.
