Can I Appeal a Red Light Violation When Following a Large Vehicle?
1 Answers
You can appeal a red light violation when following a large vehicle. Generally, if a motor vehicle is photographed following a large vehicle, it is due to rushing through the intersection when the signal is changing. This behavior can only be penalized as running a red light. However, if it is confirmed that the signal light was obstructed by the large vehicle, you can apply for reconsideration after being penalized. Drivers should maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Red Light Violation Penalty Points: According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in 6 penalty points. Article 3, Section 1, Clause 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or markings will result in 3 penalty points. How to Check for Red Light Violations: You can check for red light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After opening the app, log in using your ID card, then find and click on the "Violation Handling" option. Under violation handling, you can view the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. You can also check by visiting the service halls of local traffic police offices in various cities and counties and using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, locate the vehicle violation query section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click "Query."
