Points will be deducted if you are caught looking at your phone while waiting at a red light. Reasons for point deduction: China's "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations" clearly stipulate that drivers must not "answer handheld calls, watch TV, or engage in other behaviors that hinder safe driving." According to the regulations, behaviors such as making phone calls or using handheld devices while driving that obstruct safe driving will result in a one-time deduction of 2 points, and the driver will be fined between 20 and 200 yuan. Things to pay attention to while driving: Do not make or answer phone calls, do not throw garbage out of the window, do not cut lanes arbitrarily, do not compete with pedestrians for the right of way, do not compete with special vehicles for the right of way, and do not use high beams in urban areas.
