Is Running a Red Light Behind a Large Vehicle Considered a Traffic Violation Under the New Traffic Regulations?

Running a red light behind a large vehicle is considered a traffic violation under the new traffic regulations. At intersections where a large vehicle is ahead, the correct approach is to let the large vehicle move forward first to create enough distance so that you can see the traffic light, rather than following closely and having your view blocked. Many drivers inadvertently run red lights at intersections because their view is obstructed by large vehicles, and since this is not an intentional act, they often believe it should not be considered a violation. In such cases, most people's first reaction is to file an appeal, but the result of the appeal is usually that the original decision is upheld. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers must maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. A safe distance not only ensures sufficient braking distance but also provides adequate visibility.
