Will Traffic Violation SMS Notifications Be Delayed During Holidays?
2 Answers
Traffic violation SMS notifications may be delayed during holidays, as violation notices are generally not issued on holidays when traffic violation review staff are also on break. Typically, vehicle owners can receive SMS alerts about traffic violations within 2 days after the offense occurs. Vehicle owners can also check, pay fines, and handle non-point-deducting traffic violations through the "Public Security Public Service Website". Other violations involving point deductions require in-person processing at service windows. With technological advancements, many driver behaviors are clearly captured by electronic surveillance. Whenever a driver commits a violation recorded by these cameras, they will receive relevant violation information, indicating that authorities have determined the driver's actions constitute a violation requiring appropriate penalties.
I've been driving for almost twenty years, and it's quite common to experience delays in receiving traffic violation text messages during holidays, especially during the Spring Festival or National Day holidays. The traffic management department staff might be on vacation, and the backend processing can't keep up, causing a backlog of data and slower message delivery. Once, I waited a whole week after the holiday to receive a text message and almost missed the processing deadline. Since then, I've learned my lesson—I now proactively check my records using the Traffic Management 12123 App after every holiday. The app updates quickly and isn't affected by holidays, so text messages should only be treated as a supplementary reminder. During holidays, roads are crowded with more people and cars, so it's even more important to follow the rules—don't run red lights or speed. If you do violate traffic rules and wait until the text arrives, you might end up paying late fees. Developing good habits in daily driving is the most hassle-free approach.
