How is reversing on the highway penalized? Will it definitely be captured by cameras?

Reversing on the highway may not necessarily be captured by cameras, but the probability of being recorded is quite high. Here is a detailed introduction about vehicle violations: 1. Overview: Vehicle violations refer to the acts of motor vehicles violating the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, cancellation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for acts constituting crimes. 2. Basis for Penalties: The 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that traffic management departments of public security organs and their traffic police should promptly correct road traffic safety violations. Penalties for road traffic safety violations should be imposed based on facts and relevant provisions of this law.
I've been driving for over 20 years, and reversing on the highway is something I see all too often, but you should never do it. The usual penalty is a 200-yuan fine and 12 demerit points, with severe cases leading to license revocation. As for whether you'll get caught, there are cameras everywhere on the highway, especially near ramps and toll booths—your chances of being caught exceed 90%. However, there are remote sections without surveillance, but the risks are too high. Reversing can easily cause rear-end collisions, so safety comes first. My advice: if you miss an exit, just keep driving and loop back at the next one—it's easier and safer. Remember, the rules are there to protect everyone, and breaking them comes at a high cost. Next time you drive, pay more attention to your navigation.
I just got my driver's license, and my instructor repeatedly emphasized the severe consequences of reversing on the highway. Penalties include a fine of around 200 yuan and 12 demerit points—one slip-up and your license is gone. Will you get caught? There are an alarming number of highway cameras, with electronic eyes covering all key points, such as curves and high-accident zones. However, occasional misses can't be ruled out, but that would just be luck. Personally, I think it's not worth the risk—reversing is dangerous, and if an accident happens, you're fully responsible. Before driving, always check your route using an app. If you take a wrong turn, just keep going and find a service area to turn around or exit the highway. Don't gamble with your life.
