Will it have any impact if I drive through a yellow light?

When the yellow light is on, vehicles whose front has crossed the stop line can continue to pass, while vehicles whose front has not crossed the stop line will be considered as running a yellow light if they continue to move forward, which is a traffic violation. Determination of running a yellow light: According to Article 38 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", 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 can continue to pass; vehicles that have not crossed the stop line should stop; running a yellow light is considered a violation of traffic signal rules, resulting in 6 penalty points on the driver's license and a fine. Special circumstances for running a yellow light where an appeal can be filed: If you encounter large vehicles such as buses, trucks, or trailers ahead that block your view and cause you to "mistakenly" run a yellow light, you can bring your driving record to the traffic police department to have the penalty revoked. In cases where emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, or special vehicles are performing urgent tasks and you need to yield at the intersection traffic lights, running a yellow light can also be appealed. You need to bring your driving record for review, and the traffic police department will also verify and revoke the penalty based on the vehicle's route and intersection surveillance. However, if the traffic signal malfunctions or conflicts arise and there is a traffic officer directing on-site, you must follow the officer's instructions. Even if you are caught by electronic traffic cameras and a violation record is found, you can obtain a diversion certificate from the traffic police station.
