At the intersection of traffic lights, the yellow light is on and you drive across the street. In the new traffic regulations, it is not a red light, but a yellow light. Running a red light is as illegal as running a red light. Both behaviors will result in a penalty, a driver's license will be deducted by 6 points, and 200 yuan will be fined. Generally, after running the yellow light, there will be illegal text messages in a week or so, and you can also check illegal information online.
Yellow light punishment standard
1. Any part of the vehicle has passed the stop line before the yellow light turns on, so you can continue to drive to the opposite intersection under the condition of ensuring safety.
2. If the yellow light is on before crossing the stop line, there are two situations. One is to stop immediately after crossing the stop line, and there will be no punishment at this time. However, if the vehicle still moves obviously after passing the stop line, it will be recorded by the electronic eye and judged as running a yellow light.
3. If you cross the stop line after the yellow light is on and drive directly to the opposite intersection without stopping, this situation is regarded as running the yellow light.
4. If the car hasn't reached the intersection of traffic lights and sees that the traffic lights show yellow light, it will immediately speed up to grab the yellow light. This kind of behavior belongs to running a yellow light, which is the most likely to lead to traffic accidents.
Case: On the evening of May 5, 2020, at a traffic light intersection, a black car saw the yellow light at the intersection before reaching the traffic light intersection. I thought I was not familiar with the traffic lights, and I thought I wouldn't be punished for running the yellow light as before, so I stepped on the accelerator and accelerated to cross the stop line at the last time of the yellow light. When driving to the middle of the intersection, the driver of the three-wheeled motorcycle collided with the three-wheeled motorcycle with a normal horizontal green light because of its too fast speed, flew out of the car and was seriously injured. Finally, according to the on-site surveillance video records, the traffic police determined that the owner of the black car was mainly responsible for this traffic accident.
