Running a red light refers to the behavior that a motor vehicle violates the prohibition of red light phase at a signalized intersection or road section and continues to drive across the stop line.
On 201210/0, the Ministry of Public Security revised and issued the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses, and the score for violating traffic lights will be increased from 3 to 6. Running a yellow light will be regarded as running a red light and will also be fined 6 points; If you don't avoid 120 ambulance, score 3 points.
According to Article 26 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, traffic lights consist of red light, green light and yellow light. Red light means no traffic, green light means permission, and yellow light means warning. Article 44 When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection, it shall follow the traffic lights, traffic signs, traffic markings or the direction of the traffic police.
Extended data
Six kinds of running lights:
1. Stop at the red light.
Q: When the red light was on, the car didn't have time to stop, and the front of the car rushed out of the stop line. Is this a red light?
A: If the vehicle just crossed the stop line at the red light, but stopped immediately, it will not be punished for running the red light. If there is an obvious position shift after crossing the line, you will be punished. The three photos taken by the electronic eye are: the vehicle passes through the stop line, and the last two are the vehicles driving to the middle of the intersection and arriving at the opposite intersection.
Only when these three photos are complete will they be considered as running a red light, and the new regulations will deduct 6 points.
2. Run a red light under the command of the traffic police
Q: Although the signal light is red, the traffic police on duty said it was ok to pass. Is this a red light?
Answer: When the signal light conflicts with the traffic police's gesture, the motor vehicle driver should obey the on-site command of the traffic police. If it is the traffic police who "ran a red light" because of the on-site command, the driver can go to the traffic police brigade where the incident occurred and issue a certificate of flow adjustment, which is exempt from punishment.
If a party disagrees with the punishment, it can be resolved through administrative reconsideration, administrative litigation and other channels.
3. Stop when the car runs a red light.
Q: If it is too late to brake, causing the car to cross the stop line, is this a red light?
A: If the vehicle does not continue driving after crossing the stop line, it is not a red light. However, this situation is crossing the line to stop. According to the fifth item of Article 4 of the Scoring Form for Road Traffic Safety Violations, "If you don't drive according to the regulations or stop at the intersection, you will be deducted 2 points at a time."
4. Stop on the line and reverse the car.
Q: Will you be punished if you try to avoid punishment by reversing after running a red light?
Answer: Motor vehicles are not allowed to reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way streets, bridges, sharp bends, steep slopes or tunnels. Those who reverse the car in violation of regulations may be given a warning or fined from 20 yuan to 200 yuan.
5. Follow the cart and "rush" the red light by mistake
Q: Sometimes, because the big car in front blocks the view, you follow the big car to cross the intersection. Is this a red light?
Answer: The driver should keep enough sight range, be able to see the traffic lights ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Under normal circumstances, motor vehicles are photographed following large vehicles because they are rushing to signal at intersections. This kind of behavior can only be punished by running a red light.
6. Run the yellow light and cross the intersection
Q: A driver ran a red light when the traffic light changed to Huang Shi. Did he cross the intersection?
A: The traffic police department said that the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that when the yellow light flashes at the intersection, vehicles that have crossed the stop line can continue to pass.
If the yellow light is on and you continue to rush over, it is also a red light to be photographed like this.
