How long does it take to get points deducted for running a red light?
1 Answers
Points will be deducted as soon as running a red light is confirmed. The criteria for determining a red light violation and the handling methods are as follows: Criteria for determining a red light violation: Generally, to determine whether a vehicle has run a red light, the electronic eye needs to capture three photos. These are: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Handling methods for red light violations: According to traffic laws, after a motor vehicle violation, it usually takes 3 to 7 days to check online or receive a text message notification, with a maximum delay of no more than 13 working days. If the violation is caught on the spot by traffic police and confirmed with a signature, the vehicle owner must go to the local traffic police station within 15 days of the violation to handle the matter. If it is not handled within 15 days, a 3% late fee will be charged daily. If the violation is captured by an electronic eye, the vehicle owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and go to the local traffic police station within one month before the annual vehicle inspection to handle the matter.
