Driving in the wrong direction on the highway results in a deduction of 12 points and a fine, and the driver's license may be suspended for twelve months. Administrative penalties may also be imposed. The punishment for driving in the wrong direction on the highway is more severe than under normal circumstances. The specific penalty includes a one-time deduction of 12 points, and there are other situations that may also lead to point deductions. Once points are exhausted, the driver must retake driving lessons. Below are precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Drive in the designated lane: Highways have clearly marked lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, once you occupy a lane, return to your own lane promptly after completing the overtaking maneuver. Do not occupy other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, the emergency lane should not be occupied for non-emergency reasons. 2. Maintain a safe speed and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known, whether on local roads or highways, as it can lead to irreversible consequences. 3. Maintain a safe following distance: Generally, on dry roads with good braking conditions, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80 km/h, maintain at least 80 meters; at 100 km/h, maintain at least 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside signs indicating following distances. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, the following distance should be doubled or more. 4. Observe traffic signs: Always be aware of roadside and overhead signs and markings while driving. Keep to the right side of the road to avoid crossing the right lane divider, allowing sufficient lateral distance for vehicles behind to overtake safely. 5. Do not arbitrarily occupy the emergency lane in case of an accident: Traffic accidents are inevitable on highways. If other vehicles cause a blockage in the driving lane due to an accident, do not occupy the emergency lane, as this may hinder rescue vehicles from performing their duties. 6. Avoid fatigue driving and take timely breaks: Fatigue driving is extremely dangerous on highways. When fatigued, the body's reaction time slows, making it difficult to respond correctly to sudden situations.
