How many points are deducted for a driver violating traffic signals while operating a motor vehicle?

[Emil]

According to the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123", driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signals results in a deduction of 6 points. The 2013 new regulations specify the following 4 violations that incur a 6-point deduction: 1. Continuing to drive after the driver's license has been temporarily suspended: Once the driver's license is temporarily suspended, driving must not be resumed. Otherwise, an additional 6 points will be deducted, compounding the penalty. 2. Occupying the emergency lane during traffic congestion: The emergency lane, also known as the life channel, is reserved for ambulances and tow trucks to quickly reach accident scenes. 3. Failing to yield to school buses as required (newly added): The new "Driver's License Regulations" include a provision granting school buses priority on the road, meaning private vehicles must yield to school buses, or face a 6-point deduction. 4. Running a red light (modified): The penalty for running a red light has become more severe, increasing from the previous 3-point deduction to a 6-point deduction.
