Does crossing the stop line refer to the front or rear wheels touching the line?
1 Answers
Crossing the stop line refers to the rear wheels of a motor vehicle touching the line. Only when the entire vehicle crosses the stop line is it considered to have fully passed it. When driving, if the front wheels accidentally cross the line, stopping in time will not be considered running a red light but rather stopping beyond the line. However, if there is clear intent to continue moving, it will be judged as running a red light. Do not attempt to reverse after crossing the line. Traffic regulations prohibit reversing at intersections, as it can easily lead to collisions with vehicles behind. Generally, running a red light is determined by three photos showing the vehicle's position: the first photo shows the vehicle crossing the stop line, the second shows the vehicle in the intersection, and the third shows the vehicle passing through the intersection. Only if all three positions correspond to a red light can it be confirmed as running a red light. Violating traffic rules by improperly driving or stopping at an intersection will result in a 2-point penalty and a fine.
