Will I get points deducted if I stop halfway through driving past a red light?

Driving halfway through a red light and then stopping will not result in points being deducted, as this does not count as running a red light. The traffic rules for traffic lights are as follows: 1. Motor vehicle signal lights and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-going vehicles or pedestrians; when the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass; when the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motor vehicle signal lights or pedestrian crossing signal lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal lights. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may pass if they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. 2. Pedestrian crossing signal lights: When the green light is on, pedestrians are allowed to cross; when the red light is on, pedestrians are prohibited from entering the crossing, but those already in the crossing may continue or wait at the centerline. 3. Lane signal lights: When the green arrow is on, vehicles in the lane are allowed to proceed in the indicated direction; when the red cross or arrow is on, vehicles in the lane are prohibited from proceeding.
