The Ministry of Public Security's amended regulations on driving licenses 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 license 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 qualified 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。
