What to Do If You Run a Red Light Due to a Large Vehicle Blocking Your View at an Intersection?
1 Answers
In general, if a motor vehicle is photographed following a large vehicle, it is usually because the driver rushed through the intersection during a signal change. This behavior can only be penalized as running a red light. However, if it is confirmed that the signal light was obstructed by the large vehicle, the driver can apply for a reconsideration after being penalized. Drivers should maintain a sufficient viewing range to ensure they can see the signal lights 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 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 using your ID card, then find and click on the "Violation Handling" option. Under this section, you can view 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 counties and using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of the local Public Security Bureau, find the "Vehicle Violation Query" section, enter your license plate number and engine number, and click "Query."
