I was fined for negligent driving after running a red light

The prosecution stated in his statement that the defendant was highly guilty and he turned right without stopping in the right-turning grid, showing that he was very negligent and asked the judge to sentence him to one to three weeks in prison and revoke his driver's license at all levels for five years.

The prosecution also said that the defendant had five fine records for cancellation cases and was sentenced to a fine of 70 to 400 yuan for running a red light and negligent driving between 1999 and 2022.
