All what you need to do is to visit the website of Beijing Traffic Management Bureau 北京市公安局公安交通管理局: http://bj.122.gov.cn/and/or download the application on your mobile phone. All explained in details below.

How to get your record information from the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau App?
Actually the application does much more than only checking your records from August 2015: In order to handle faster motor vehicle accidents and to ease the city traffic (= avoid having cars involved in an traffic incident blocking the road for hours till the police gets to the location), the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, the Beijing Insurance Regulatory Bureau and the Beijing Insurance Industry associations jointly developed an innovative fast traffic accident technology system or e-mobile application designed to ensure rapid removal of vehicles from of the accident scene and therefore fast recovery of traffic.
How to download the APP? visit http://bj.122.gov.cn/views/app.html and download the APP. You can also subscribe to the Wechat account and receive updates on temporary traffic regulations.

- How to report a minor traffic accident in real time?
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2015-07/19/c_134425837.htm. This application can be used in case of minor accidents, when vehicules are little damaged and passengers got only minor injuries. In Beijing, more than 90 percent of traffic accidents are considered minor.
The two parties should agree to use the APP and provide the relevant information such as:
– shoot scene photos (including signs and markings, the license plate number, ……)
– take a picture of the 2 parties’ accident driver’s licenses + enter the number in the system.
– Drivers’ phone numbers
– ID card or passport numbers.
– License plate numbers + picture to download to the APP
– Insurance company and policy numbers.
If you can’t use or don’t have the APP or if you have any difficulties, you can dial “122” to reach the police. However, they will push you to use the APP while alarming the nearest traffic brigade so they can take relevant actions.
The traffic control department will remotely determine the responsibility for the accident and approve the cars removal from the scene: the scene photos will be checked immediately after having been submitted. You will receive a “Photo approval” notification from the APP and car removal authorization: do not take the initiative to remove the car from the scene, as the traffic control department can conduct on-site or off-site check to punish the driver(s) according to relevant laws and regulations. If the two parties can’t agree on the responsibilities, the Brigade will determine the responsibility for the accident using the accident image information. If still disagreeing with the decision, you can wait for the Traffic brigade to reach the site.
You can use the same APP to report the accident to the insurance company. Insurance companies will record the time of the accident, images, GPS location and other information to simplify the process.
