How Many Points Are Deducted for Running a Yellow Light?
1 Answers
Running a yellow light will result in a deduction of 6 points and a fine. Running a yellow light with a motor vehicle is a traffic violation, and the penalty standard is the same as running a red light. Determination of Running a Yellow Light: According to Article 38 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," when the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed; those that have not crossed the stop line should stop. Special Circumstances Where Running a Yellow Light Can Be Appealed: If you encounter large vehicles such as buses, trucks, or trailers ahead that obstruct your view, causing you to "mistakenly" run a yellow light, you can bring your driving records to the traffic police department to have the penalty revoked. If you encounter emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, or special-purpose vehicles performing urgent tasks and need to yield, running a yellow light can also have the penalty revoked. Bring your driving records for an appeal, and the traffic police department will review the vehicle's route and intersection surveillance to determine whether to revoke the penalty. If the traffic signal is malfunctioning or conflicting and there is a traffic officer directing on-site, you must follow the officer's instructions. Even if you are caught running a yellow light by electronic surveillance and a violation is recorded, you can have the penalty revoked by obtaining a diversion certificate from the traffic police station.
