Are the penalty points and fines for taking illegal photos all texting? Isn't it illegal if you don't receive the text message?

No, only you have reserved your mobile phone number in the vehicle management office, then when your vehicle violates the rules, you will receive traffic violation information from the traffic police department on your mobile phone. If you don't reserve your mobile phone number in the vehicle management office, you won't receive SMS notification even if you violate the rules. In addition to binding the mobile phone number to the vehicle management office, you can also enter your own vehicle information such as license plate number, engine number and frame number in the menu bar of WeChat official account convenience vehicle service inquiry, and then bind the mobile phone number, so that you can receive free violation reminders in the future, without going to the vehicle management office.
