The Ministry¹ of Public Security's amended² regulations on driving licenses⁴ increase the penalties for motorists who run red lights, as well as authorities who issue licenses to new drivers who cause serious accidents.

 

公安部新修订的驾驶证使用规定加强了对司机闯红灯的处罚力度，同时新司机发生严重事故的也将对发证机关进行处罚。

 

新规中对running red light（闯红灯）和blocking or defacing license³ plates（遮挡、污损号牌）等行为的point penalty（扣分处罚）从之前的3分提高到6分；drunk driving（醉驾）的客货车司机将面临lifetime ban（终身禁驾）。

 

Newly qualified⁵ drivers（新司机）上高速必须由三年以上驾龄的司机陪同，一旦发生fatal accident（致命事故）将追究license-issuing authorities（发证机关）的责任。
