Can Large Vehicles Borrow Lanes for U-Turns?
1 Answers
Whether large vehicles can borrow lanes for U-turns depends on the specific situation. If a large vehicle causes a traffic accident while borrowing a lane for a U-turn, resulting in serious injury, death, or significant damage to public or private property, it constitutes illegal behavior and may be punishable by up to three years of imprisonment or criminal detention. Below is a partial introduction regarding the handling of violations: 1. Timeframe: Vehicle owners must go to the local traffic police station within 15 days of receiving the penalty notice for the violation. If they fail to do so within 15 days, a late fee of 3% per day will be imposed, but the total late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount. It is advisable to handle the matter early to avoid unnecessary penalties. 2. Confirmation Method: The quickest and most effective way to confirm whether you have run a red light is to inquire at the vehicle management office or traffic police station. You will need to bring important documents such as your driver's license, vehicle registration, and ID card—all three are required. It is also advisable to carry some cash (running a red light typically incurs a fine of 200 yuan, and other violations may result in additional penalties). This way, even if a violation is found, you can immediately proceed with the necessary formalities.
