What Are the Dangers of Running a Red Light?
2 Answers
The dangers of running a red light include: disregarding traffic laws, disrupting traffic rules; easily causing traffic accidents; damaging public traffic order; seriously threatening the safety of one's own and others' lives and property. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic eyes capture three photos as evidence for determining a red-light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red-light violation. Methods to check for red-light violations: You can check for red-light violations through the 'Traffic Management 12123' app. After opening the app, log in using your ID card, then find and click on the 'Violation Handling' option. Under 'Violation Handling,' you can see the current status of your vehicle. If there is a violation, the specific details will be displayed. Visit the service halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to check via touch query terminals. Log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city: find the 'Vehicle Violation Query,' enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click 'Query.'
Having driven for over twenty years, I fully understand the high risks of running a red light. It directly threatens life safety, with the greatest fear being head-on collisions or rear-end accidents between vehicles. Even at slightly higher speeds, it could be fatal and easily trigger chain-reaction crashes, causing more casualties. Once I witnessed a driver running a red light and hitting a pedestrian—the scene was horrific. Not only were the injured hospitalized, but traffic was also disrupted for hours, causing psychological trauma and work delays. In daily driving, obeying traffic lights can minimize such accidents, protecting both your own and others' well-being. This is both a moral responsibility and basic driving knowledge.
