Will I be penalized for stopping after crossing the stop line at a traffic light?

Stopping after crossing the stop line at a traffic light will not result in penalty points. Here are the relevant details: 1. Traffic signal: If you cross the stop line after the light turns red, but stop immediately with your front wheels on or slightly over the stop line, this is not considered running a red light. However, if the vehicle continues to move significantly after crossing the line, it will be considered as running a red light. 2. Violations: If the entire vehicle crosses the stop line and stops on the pedestrian crossing after the light turns red, this generally does not count as running a red light, but it is still a violation known as over-line stopping, which incurs a 2-point penalty. If the vehicle shows obvious movement on the pedestrian crossing or interferes with pedestrian traffic, it will then be judged as running a red light.
