How to Handle Points Deduction for Running a Red Light?
2 Answers
According to laws and regulations, a fine of more than 200 yuan (excluding the amount), temporary suspension or revocation of the driver's license shall be imposed on the violator. 1. On-site: Traffic police can make an on-the-spot penalty decision for individuals fined less than 200 yuan. 2. Off-site: Traffic police, based on traffic technical monitoring records, can apply a simplified procedure to make a penalty decision for the owner, manager, or driver of the violating vehicle fined less than 200 yuan. 3. General procedure for traffic violation penalties: investigation and evidence collection, notification of the penalty matters, reasons, basis, and relevant rights, hearing statements, defenses, or holding hearings, and making a penalty decision.
I remember last year when I was in a hurry and ran a red light, got caught by the traffic camera, and received a ticket notice a few days later. I had to go to the traffic police station to handle it. At that time, I was deducted 6 points and had to pay a fine of 200 yuan. If not handled promptly, accumulating 12 points would require retaking the written test for the driver's license, which is too troublesome. I recommend first checking the point deduction details on the Traffic Management 12123 APP, then going to the local traffic police station or handling it through online platforms. Currently, there's a point reduction activity where attending traffic safety classes can reduce 1-2 points, which is quite practical. It's best to develop good driving habits, avoid rushing through yellow lights, and pay more attention to traffic light timers. This experience taught me that safety is more important than time, and I will definitely be more cautious next time.
