What to Do If You Accidentally Run a Red Light?

[DiKylie]

If you accidentally run a red light, do not reverse back to the stop line as it may easily cause a collision with vehicles behind you. In case of a traffic accident, you will bear the main responsibility. If only the front wheels of your vehicle have just crossed the stop line, you should stop immediately and not move the car further. Wait until the traffic light turns green before proceeding through the intersection. This situation is generally not considered a violation and will not result in fines or penalty points. If the entire body of your vehicle has crossed the stop line and reached the pedestrian crossing, you should also stop immediately and wait for the green light before proceeding. This approach can avoid being judged as running a red light, but it is still considered a traffic violation, subject to a fine and a deduction of 2 points.
