Can Temporary License Plates Be Captured Running a Red Light?

Running a red light with a temporary license plate can also be captured and penalized. Penalty Points for Running a Red Light: 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 a deduction 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 deduction 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 with your ID card, find the 'Violation Handling' option, and click on it. Under 'Violation Handling,' you can see 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-screen query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city: find the 'Vehicle Violation Query' section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click 'Query' to proceed.
I've actually researched this issue recently. Whether running a red light with a temporary license plate will be captured depends on the specific situation. Nowadays, electronic police use high-definition cameras that can even clearly photograph the tissue box on your windshield, let alone the temporary license plate stuck on the inside of the glass. I have a friend who thought traffic violations with temporary plates wouldn't matter, but ended up getting 6 points deducted just three days after picking up the car. However, there are some special circumstances, such as during heavy rain or when street lights are dim at night, where the cameras might not capture clear images. But in any case, running a red light is high-risk behavior - violations with temporary plates still result in point deductions and fines, and can affect the subsequent process of obtaining formal license plates.
