Will points be deducted if you stop after crossing the stop line at a traffic light?

There are the following situations when stopping after crossing the stop line at a red light: Stopping shortly after crossing the stop line: If you cross the stop line after the signal turns red, with your front wheels reaching the stop line and stopping on it, this is not considered running a red light as long as you brake immediately. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, it will be regarded as running a red light. Crossing the stop line to the pedestrian crossing: If the vehicle fully crosses the stop line to the pedestrian crossing after the light turns red and then stops on the pedestrian crossing, this is generally not considered running a red light, but it is still a violation known as over-the-line stopping, which incurs a fine and points deduction. If the vehicle shows obvious movement on the pedestrian crossing or affects normal pedestrian passage, it will be judged as running a red light.
