Running a red light is the act of crossing the stop line and continuing to move forward when the red light is on. Nowadays, pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles may deliberately run red lights, but driving is rarely intentional, and most of them are careless or careless. For example, following behind a big car, the view is blocked, and you can't see what the lights are. For example, when the green light is about to end, some drivers want to rush over quickly, but the red light has been lit before the stop line has passed, resulting in a red light. Or the car was distracted, didn't pay attention to what the light was, and went straight over, resulting in a red light. The penalty for running a red light is to deduct 6 points and fine 200 yuan, which is a relatively serious violation.
It is understood that there were very few drivers who ran a red light before they would give two photos, and now most of the red light judgments will give three photos, when the red light is on: 1 photo of the front of the car crossing the stop line. 2. A photo of the rear of the car crossing the stop line. 3. A photo of the rear of the car crossing the zebra crossing. Sometimes the third photo will be taken a little further, a photo of the car in the middle of the intersection, or even a photo of the opposite side of the intersection, the farther this photo is, the more proof that the car has run a red light.
In short, no matter where the photos are, these three photos are used to show that when the red light is on, the vehicle is still moving forward, and if there is a behavior of continuing to move, it can be judged as a red light violation. Generally speaking, as long as the rear of the car crosses the zebra crossing, it must be considered a red light violation.
If you don't see a red light and the front of the car has crossed the line, should you stop immediately or continue walking? You should stop immediately, because the front of the car crosses the line and you don't continue driving, so you can't capture the third photo, and you can't judge it as a red light run. Of course, stopping immediately is also considered a violation, which is a cross-line parking, and 2 points will be deducted and a fine of 100 yuan will be imposed. This is much lighter than the penalty for running a red light, so it is more appropriate to stop immediately. Parking can also avoid further traffic violations and also reduce the risk of accidents.
Another situation is that when you find that you have run a red light, you have reached the middle of the intersection, and you should decide whether to stop or continue according to the situation at that time. If there is no safe place to park here, parking will affect the normal passage of other vehicles. Parking here not only obstructs traffic, but also increases the risk of accidents. Then do not stop and continue to drive away from the intersection.
If you reach the middle of the intersection and you find that the traffic on the side has already started to pass, do not continue driving anyway. Because it will affect the passage of other normal vehicles, the other party is in a green light state, and most of the energy will look at the vehicle in front, at this time, you come from the side, the other party may not be visible, and danger will occur. Therefore, if you continue to drive in this case, the probability of an accident is still very high. In short, when I arrived at the center of the intersection, I found that I ran a red light, and the illegal act has been identified, and the next thing is how to operate safely.
There is also a situation where someone finds that they have crossed the line and stopped, so they wonder if they can avoid punishment by reversing back to within the stop line. The answer is no, because the capture is already done while the vehicle is moving forward, and even reversing it will not help. If the initial offense is running a red light, it will still be judged as running a red light, and if it is a crossing the line to stop, it will still be judged as crossing the line to stop. Reversing backwards will increase the probability of accidents, the rear vehicle goes forward, and you are reversing backwards, when the distance is far away, the rear car often cannot find that you are reversing, and the blind spot when reversing is large, the probability of accidents will be greatly increased. In the event of an accident, it is the sole responsibility of the vehicle in front.
How to prevent yourself from running a red light. First of all, you should concentrate when driving, do not follow the car in front of you rashly at the intersection, observe the state of the traffic lights, and slow down. Not only does this prevent red light violations, but it also prevents rear-end collisions caused by sudden braking of the vehicle in front. Look at the traffic lights again before crossing the stop line and look left and right for pedestrians on the sidewalk before passing. Secondly, do not follow the big car closely, it will seriously affect our vision, resulting in the situation that we cannot see the traffic lights. If you accidentally get too close to the car and can't see the signal light, you can look at the signal light on the sidewalk. If you can't see this, you can observe the lights on the cross lane as a reference, if the cross lane is green, there is a high probability that going straight here will be a red light.
