1 Answers
Driving in the wrong direction on provincial roads will result in a fine and a deduction of 3 points. The penalty for driving in the wrong direction depends on the following two situations: 1. Situation one: In urban areas and other roads, 3 points will be deducted, and a fine will be imposed. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security), motor vehicle drivers who commit any of the following violations will have 3 points deducted: driving a motor vehicle without overtaking, yielding, or driving in the wrong direction as required. 2. Situation two: On highways, 12 points will be deducted, a fine will be imposed, and the driver's license may be suspended for twelve months. The following are several situations of driving in the wrong direction: 1. Situation one: On roads with solid dividing lines, motor vehicles entering the opposite lane, where the road dividing line is a double solid line or a single solid line, are not allowed to cross the line under any circumstances. 2. Situation two: On roads with dashed dividing lines, it is possible to borrow the lane to overtake safely, but once an accident occurs, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be considered to be driving in the wrong direction. 3. Situation three: On roads with one-way signs, any motor vehicle entering will be considered to be driving in the wrong direction.
