my wife recently received a notification for disobeying traffic lights, she is literally freaking out cos she heard from friends that there might be court orders involved, etc. i did a bit of research and am of the opinion that its a $600 fine with 5 pts deduction, just want to know if this is right and if there's really no court order involved? Also, would be great to know if there is ANYTHING that could be done to lower the pts, say writing a letter to the gov? thanks for your help!

thanks for the reply. but just want to clarify, so there WILL be a court order? if so then what exactly does it entail and what will happen from then on?

I received one about a month ago. All I had to do was name the driver (me) and then I received the bill in the post $600 and 5pts. Nothing else so long as you pay the fine.
I think if you contest it or if it caused an accident then a court order will be applicable.

thanks for the advice. so will sending in a letter of apology of some sort be of any use?

[UPDATE] Please note that fee quotes stated in historic postings may be out-of-date.
The fixed penalty for disobeying traffic lights is HK$600 with 5 points deduction. In view of the fact that this is a fixed penalty, she may choose to confess or defend her case before the magistrate court. The procedure of which could be found in Section 5 of the Fixed Penalty (Criminal Proceedings) Ordinance.
