Should I Stop or Go When the Light Turns Red Midway?

[MacAniyah]

The safest action when the light turns red midway is to stop where you are and wait for the green light before proceeding through the intersection. Penalties for running a red light are as follows: 1. Introduction One: Since the enactment of the new traffic law in 2013, traffic regulations have become very strict. The new rules stipulate that running a red light, which previously incurred a fine and 3 demerit points, now results in a fine and 6 demerit points as of January 1, 2013. In many places, being caught by electronic surveillance only leads to a fine without demerit points. Although running a yellow light is not penalized, it is still advisable to avoid doing so. 2. Introduction Two: The new traffic regulations state that 'driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in 6 demerit points.' However, not all cases will lead to a 6-point deduction. For violations such as making a left turn from a straight lane, the penalty remains 3 demerit points under the 'violation of prohibition signs' as per the 'Road Traffic Safety Law.' Additionally, running a red light recorded by cameras only incurs a fine without demerit points.
