Running a red light with temporary license plates for a car will also be captured and penalized. Point deduction standards for running a red light: According to Article 2, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points. Article 3, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or prohibition markings will result in a deduction of 3 points. How to check for running a red light: You can check for red light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. After opening the app, log in with your ID card, find the option for violation handling and click on it. In the violation handling section, you can see the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. You can also check by visiting the service halls of the traffic police departments in various cities and counties and using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities: find the vehicle violation query section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query.
Buddy, I've also driven a car with temporary license plates, and I'm telling you the truth—running a red light will definitely get you fined. Temporary plates are those temporary identifiers used for new cars or during vehicle transfers, and they are also legal license plates. Traffic cameras and police officers can recognize them and will record violations. I once saw a news story where a driver with temporary plates ran a red light and was fined 200 yuan plus three demerit points. The penalty isn't just about the money—it could also lead to higher insurance premiums or even confiscation of the temporary plates, affecting the process of getting permanent ones. No matter what kind of plates you have, you must follow the rules, especially at traffic lights, which are a matter of life and death. New drivers shouldn't take chances. Think about how heavy the traffic is—a moment of carelessness could cause an accident, harming both yourself and others. So, when driving a new car, be extra careful. Don't let a moment of impulse ruin what should be a great driving experience.
