Will the traffic police send an SMS to the car owner after a traffic violation?

[Gonçalves]

Yes, for non-on-site law enforcement violations recorded by traffic authorities, the traffic management department will send an SMS to the car owner within three to four days. Non-on-site law enforcement refers to violations recorded by monitoring cameras, electronic eyes, and other electronic monitoring devices. After the monitoring devices record the violation, it undergoes manual review and data upload before being made available for query. Therefore, when the car owner receives the SMS notification, they can also check the corresponding violation record online. The methods for querying vehicle violations are as follows: Query via touchscreen terminals: Visit the office halls of the traffic police branches in various districts and counties to query through touchscreen terminals. Query via external service websites: Log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city: find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query. Car owners can also log in to the National Vehicle Traffic Violation Query Service Platform for inquiries.
