What to Do When the Vehicle in Front Blocks Your View and You Run a Red Light?
1 Answers
In general, when a motor vehicle is photographed following another vehicle, it is usually due to rushing through an 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 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 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 prohibitory signs or markings will result 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 Processing" option. Under "Violation Processing," 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 service halls of traffic police branches in various cities and counties and using the touch-screen query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city: locate the "Vehicle Violation Query" section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click "Query."
