Don’t worry. All operations for “one-time penalty” are computer-controlled. Before any adjudication decision is legally received by the person penalized, the computer file will not indicate “delivered” and no vehicle or driver’s license will be directly canceled.

The following is a brief description of how the deadline for a required appearance is set for adjudication under “one-time penalty:”
1. Deadline of fine payment: the deadline of fine payment is one month from the date of adjudication. For example, if the date of adjudication is May 20, 2006, the deadline of fine payment will be June 19, 2006.
2. Deadline of cancellation (revocation): in the event of failure to hand over any vehicle or driver’s license suspended by penalty, the vehicle or driver’s license will be revoked on the day following the deadline for its handover. For example, if the deadline for handover of the suspended vehicle or driver’s license is July 4, 2006, the vehicle or driver’s license will be revoked on the next day, namely July 5, 2006.
Where the penalty requires revocation of a vehicle or driver’s license, the vehicle or driver’s license will also be directly canceled.
3. Deadline of referral to the court for enforcement: referral to the court for enforcement will be made on the day following the deadline of fine payment.
