The road and the tickets · 2026-03

Citizen reports were cut back. Closed to reports doesn't mean an officer can't still ticket you.

After the middle of 2024, some items aren't open to a report from the public. The violation is still a violation.

After the traffic act was amended, a batch of things people called minor stopped being open to citizen reports. Some parking. A phone in your hand. An officer who sees it can still write the ticket. What stayed open is mostly the more dangerous stuff, like not letting a pedestrian go, or running a red. Use the list that was published then.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
