[DiMalia]

According to the new traffic regulations, the penalty of deducting 6 points for running a red light has been implemented since January 1, 2013. The relevant provisions are as follows: 1. On October 8, 2012, the Ministry of Public Security announced the newly revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses." The new traffic rules have strengthened the management of drivers. The latest traffic regulations' penalty points system has also become more stringent, with the penalty for running a red light increasing from 3 points to 6 points, and failing to display or obscuring a license plate will result in an immediate deduction of 12 points. 2. The new traffic regulations came into effect on January 1, 2013 (New Year's Day), increasing the number of penalty items from 38 to 52. Running a red light now deducts 6 points, and driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 50% of the prescribed limit will result in a deduction of 12 points.
