Will running a red light on a motorcycle result in penalties?

[DeIsabelle]

Running a red light will be captured by electronic surveillance cameras because motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles. According to Article 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," running a red light will result in a deduction of 6 points. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating traffic signal instructions by crossing the stop line and continuing to move when the red light is on, prohibiting passage. Determining a red-light violation requires at least three pieces of photographic evidence: the vehicle not having left the stop line when the red light is on; the vehicle passing through the intersection when the red light is on; and the vehicle having crossed the line and continuing to move forward when the red light is on. Common scenarios of running a red light: When the red light is on, if the front wheel touches the stop line but the vehicle stops immediately, it is not considered running a red light. However, if the vehicle continues to move, it will be counted as running a red light. According to Article 3 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," if a vehicle completely crosses the stop line and stops on the pedestrian crossing after the red light turns on, this is not considered running a red light but is classified as over-the-line parking, which incurs a 3-point deduction. If the vehicle moves noticeably on the pedestrian crossing or obstructs pedestrian passage, it will be judged as running a red light. If the front wheel crosses the stop line and then reverses back behind the stop line when the red light is on, this constitutes illegal reversing, which may result in a fine. If this causes a rear-end collision, the driver will bear primary responsibility. If the vehicle crosses both the stop line and the pedestrian crossing and reaches the opposite side of the intersection after the red light turns on, this is considered running a red light. Ways to avoid running a red light: Follow arrow signals if available; otherwise, observe the circular light. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light starts flashing, if the vehicle is close and moving fast, it should proceed, as braking may not stop it in time to avoid crossing the stop line. If the vehicle is far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, it should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever approaching a crosswalk, stop line, or intersection.
