2 Answers
Driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street results in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Below are specific details about driving in the wrong direction: 1. Laws and regulations: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), driving a motor vehicle without following overtaking or yielding rules, or driving in the wrong direction, will result in a 3-point penalty. 2. Driving in the wrong direction on highways: According to Article 25 of the "People's Republic of China Highway Traffic Management Measures," if a motor vehicle driver violates these regulations by driving a prohibited vehicle onto the highway, not following overtaking rules, or driving in the wrong direction, the maximum penalty may include suspension of the driver's license for up to twelve months.
As a frequent driver, I almost went the wrong way on a one-way street last time, and it was my friend's reminder to pay attention to the signs that saved me. This kind of violation is quite common—wrong-way driving can result in a 3-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine, though the amount may vary by location. Driving against traffic is extremely dangerous, as it can easily lead to head-on collisions and accidents. I've seen minor fender benders cause major traffic jams. Checking the route before each trip or using a mobile app to prevent wrong turns not only saves money but also lives. Developing this habit has made me feel safer and more at ease while driving. Remember, following the rules is key to avoiding trouble.
