Can you drive through if the front wheels pass the stop line in the last second of the green light?

Yes. Only crossing the stop line and continuing to drive after the light turns red is considered running a red light. Driving while the light is still green is not a violation. However, from a safety perspective, it is not recommended to proceed if you have already reached the last second of the green light. Running a red light situation: If the vehicle just crosses the stop line when the light is red but stops immediately, this type of red-light running will not be penalized. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, penalties will apply. The electronic eye captures three photos for running a red light: the vehicle crossing the stop line, followed by two more photos of the vehicle reaching the middle of the intersection and the opposite side of the intersection. Only when all three photos are complete will it be considered running a red light, resulting in a 6-point deduction under the new regulations. When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and a traffic officer's gesture: Motor vehicle drivers must obey the on-site command of the traffic officer. If a driver "runs a red light" due to the traffic officer's on-site command, they can obtain a flow adjustment certificate from the traffic police brigade at the scene to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation.
