How many points is awarded for a violation of running a red light?

  1. 5 points

  2. 10 points

  3. 2 points

  4. 15 points

The correct answer is: 15 points

Running a red light is a serious traffic violation that puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. Therefore, the penalty for this violation is much more severe than other traffic offenses. Option A, 5 points, is not enough to deter drivers from breaking the law. Option B, 10 points, may seem like a reasonable amount at first glance, but it still may not be enough to discourage reckless behavior. Option C, 2 points, is far too low and does not accurately reflect the seriousness of this violation. Option D, 15 points, is the correct answer as it is the highest amount listed and serves as a warning that running a red light is a serious offense with significant consequences.
