How many points are deducted for running a red light in Nanjing?

[VonDeclan]

Running a red light in Nanjing results in a deduction of 6 points. However, not all drivers will be penalized with a 6-point deduction, as the specific circumstances depend on the evidence captured by traffic cameras. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating traffic signal instructions by crossing the stop line and continuing to move when the red light is on and passage is prohibited. To confirm a red light violation, three photos are typically used as evidence: one before the vehicle crosses the stop line, one after crossing, and one showing the vehicle entering the intersection. Situations that result in a 12-point deduction include: 1. Driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type on the driver's license; 2. Driving under the influence of alcohol; 3. Fleeing the scene of a traffic accident without constituting a crime. Situations that result in a 6-point deduction include: 1. Driving a motor vehicle while the driver's license is temporarily suspended; 2. Parking a non-commercial vehicle in a highway lane.
