Can I Apply for Reconsideration If I Ran a Red Light While Following a Large Vehicle?
1 Answers
Running a red light while following a large vehicle can be appealed. Generally, if a motor vehicle is photographed running a red light while following a large vehicle, it is often due to rushing through the intersection. Such 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 ensure they can see the traffic signals ahead and maintain a safe braking distance. Penalty Points for Running a Red Light: According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations,' driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a penalty of 6 points. Article 3, Section 1, Clause 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or markings will result in a penalty of 3 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 at the service halls of traffic police branches in various districts and counties by using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, visit the official websites of the local Public Security Bureau's Traffic Management Bureau, locate the 'Vehicle Violation Query' section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click 'Query' to check.
