What to Do If a Large Vehicle Blocks the Traffic Light and Causes You to Run a Red Light?
1 Answers
In general, if a motor vehicle is photographed following a large vehicle, it is usually because the driver rushed through the intersection when the signal was changing. This behavior can only be penalized as running a red light. However, if it is confirmed that the signal light was blocked by the large vehicle and thus not visible, you can apply for a review after being penalized. Drivers should maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Penalty points for running a red light: According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points. Article 3, Section 1, Clause 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or markings will result in a deduction of 3 points. How to check for running a red light: 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 are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. You can also check by visiting the office halls of the traffic police departments in various cities and districts and using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities: locate the vehicle violation query section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click "Query" to proceed.
