Will the vehicle be impounded for 5 traffic violations?
2 Answers
Vehicles with more than 5 unprocessed traffic violation records will be impounded. Below is relevant information about violation codes: Introduction The traffic violation code table contains 337 types of violations, categorized as: 175 for motor vehicle traffic, 55 for non-motor vehicle traffic, 30 for pedestrians and passengers, 28 for highway traffic, and 49 for other regulations. Traffic violation codes consist of four digits, classified according to traffic law principles, with the sequence from left to right being: one digit for violation category, one digit for point deduction category, and the last two digits as sequential numbers.
From my years of experience driving trucks, five traffic violations may not necessarily lead to vehicle impoundment, but neglecting them is risky. Violations like speeding or running red lights accumulate points, and if you reach 12 points, you'll have to attend classes and take tests—a real hassle. If you delay paying fines, the police might impound your vehicle if they catch you on the road. I've seen colleagues with seven unpaid violations get their trucks impounded, delaying repairs and work. I recommend regularly checking the Traffic Management 12123 app and handling violations as soon as they appear—don’t wait for them to pile up. Safe driving is paramount; fewer violations mean saving money and peace of mind. When hauling cargo over long distances, there’s no room for carelessness.
