Can a License-Plate-Free Car Running a Red Light Be Detected?
2 Answers
An unlicensed car running a red light can be detected. Even if the car has no license plate, the vehicle management office can identify the specific owner based on the captured chassis number and engine number, and impose penalties. An unlicensed car is in a temporary license plate state, and running a red light can be detected. Criteria for determining a red light violation: Electronic eyes capture 3 photos as evidence for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all 3 photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. Point deduction standards for running a red light: According to Article 2, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 2 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations,' driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights results in a 6-point deduction. Article 3, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or prohibition markings results in a 3-point deduction. Notification time frame for running a red light: Generally, a notification SMS for running a red light can be received within 10 days.
As an ordinary person quite interested in traffic technology, I've researched many cases online. Unlicensed vehicles running red lights can indeed be detected, though they're harder to track than licensed ones. Nowadays, many intersections are equipped with high-definition cameras that can capture vehicle models, colors, and even driver appearances even without license plates. Police can sometimes trace them through big data or AI system matching. Witnesses like pedestrians or patrol officers also help, with on-the-spot captures being common occurrences. However, loopholes exist - such as blurry camera footage or incomplete coverage - which increase difficulty. I want to remind everyone that such violations are extremely dangerous, easily causing accidents, and may lead to escalated penalties during police investigations. Driving with proper plates is a fundamental obligation - let's not risk convenience over safety, which should always come first.
