How is a traffic light launch start violation defined?
2 Answers
Intersection launch starts are considered traffic violations and will result in corresponding fines and penalty points. When encountering traffic congestion at an intersection ahead, vehicles should queue up in order. Definition of launch start: A launch start refers to adjusting the engine speed to the maximum torque output platform using the transmission during startup, enabling the engine to deliver maximum torque instantly at the moment of takeoff for optimal acceleration. Launch starts are considered traffic violations and will result in corresponding fines and deduction of driving license points. Precautions for launch starts: Attempt only on closed roads or racetracks; Before performing a launch start, ensure the engine coolant temperature, oil temperature, and transmission oil temperature have reached normal levels; Allow at least 15 minutes of transmission cooling between two consecutive launch starts.
Performing a launch start at a traffic light intersection is not inherently a direct traffic violation, but the determination of a violation depends on specific actions. It primarily involves three points: First, if the front wheels cross the stop line while the signal is still yellow or red, it constitutes running a red light violation, as traffic cameras clearly record the wheel positions. Second, during a launch start, the front of the car may briefly exceed the stop line and be mistakenly judged; a friend of mine once suffered from this. Third, if the start causes the vehicle to lose control or endanger other pedestrians or vehicles, traffic police can treat it as dangerous driving. In practice, enforcement standards vary by location, with some cities also regulating aggressive acceleration starts. It is advisable to observe signal changes in advance and accelerate steadily after the light turns green for both safety and convenience.
