Will the traffic camera alert if the car's insurance expires?

Traffic cameras will not alert if a car's insurance expires. Traffic cameras are unable to capture whether a vehicle's insurance has lapsed. Only cameras on police cars can photograph the vehicle's license plate and use the in-car system to check whether the vehicle's insurance has expired, whether it has passed inspection, or if it is using fake plates, among other related information. Traffic cameras are designed to capture fixed types of traffic violations. Below is an extended explanation: 1. Penalties for driving without insurance: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the vehicle will be impounded, and the owner will be required to purchase compulsory traffic insurance (CTPL) and pay a fine equivalent to twice the CTPL premium. No demerit points will be deducted from the driver's license. If an uninsured vehicle is involved in an accident, the insurance company may refuse to compensate. Once the insurance expires, the contract with the insurance company automatically becomes void. 2. CTPL can be purchased in advance: It can be renewed up to three months before expiration. When using a vehicle, it is crucial to pay attention to the insurance validity period. The insurance validity period differs from the vehicle inspection period. The annual inspection can be completed within the same month, but the CTPL must be renewed before the expiration date.
