Does proceeding through a flashing yellow light count as running a red light?

Running a yellow light and running a red light are both categorized as the same traffic violation - driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal regulations. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", this offense is punishable by a fine and 6 demerit points. Article 26 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. The "Road Traffic Safety Law" specifies: A yellow light serves as a warning, and motor vehicles should slow down when approaching an intersection. Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light comes on may continue through, while vehicles that have not crossed the stop line should come to a halt. The "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 38 states regarding motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic signals: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of through vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue through. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without dedicated non-motor vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle traffic signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed provided they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Electronic police capture red-light running behavior based on the following three photos as evidence, which are reviewed by traffic police to determine whether a violation occurred: An image showing the vehicle has not passed the stop line when the red light is on. An image showing the vehicle's front wheels pressing against the stop line. An image showing the entire vehicle body has crossed the stop line. If these three photos demonstrate that the vehicle moved beyond the stop line while the red light was on, the traffic police can determine that the vehicle ran a red light during review. To avoid running yellow lights: Slow down when approaching intersections to 20-30 km/h, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead to prevent rear-end collisions or rushing through yellow lights. Alternatively, pay attention to traffic signals in advance - observe the duration of green lights; if traffic is light and the green light duration is long, prepare to slow down.

Can the Brake Be Used to Control Speed in Subject 2?

Subject 2 does not allow the use of the brake to control speed; the clutch is primarily used for speed control. Below are the relevant details: Speed Control: When depressing the clutch, press quickly and release slowly. The correct pedal operation involves placing the ball of your foot on the pedal to prevent slipping. On uneven road surfaces, you may lightly apply the brake to control speed, but it should be done gently, gradually increasing pressure—avoid sudden braking. Important Notes: Stay calm during the test and think before acting. Wear soft-soled, non-slip shoes for practice and the exam. Memorize the steps and practice repeatedly to develop good starting and stopping habits.
