What to Do If You Run a Red Light Behind a Large Vehicle?
1 Answers
In general, when a motor vehicle is photographed running a red light while following another vehicle, it is usually due to rushing through the intersection when the signal is changing. This behavior can only be penalized as running a red light. However, if it is confirmed that the signal light was obstructed by the vehicle in front, you can apply for reconsideration after being penalized. Drivers should maintain sufficient visibility range, ensuring they can see the traffic signals ahead and maintain 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 results 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 results in a deduction of 3 points. How 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 with your ID card, find the 'Violation Handling' option, and click on it. In the violation handling section, you can see the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. Visit the office halls of traffic police departments in various districts and counties to check using touch-screen terminals. Log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities: find the 'Vehicle Violation Inquiry,' enter your license plate number and engine number, and click 'Search' to check.
