3 Answers
Driving against traffic on ordinary roads will result in a deduction of 3 points and a certain fine. The penalties for driving against traffic are as follows: 1. Driving against traffic on a one-way road: 3 points will be deducted for driving against traffic. 2. Crossing solid lines, double solid lines, or overstepping lines: Crossing solid lines, double solid lines, or overstepping lines will be considered as driving against traffic, while crossing dashed lines is allowed. If an accident occurs, it will be considered as driving against traffic, resulting in a deduction of 3 points and a certain fine. 3. Driving against traffic on a highway: This is completely dangerous. According to Article 25, if a motor vehicle driver violates this regulation, 12 points will be deducted, and a certain fine will be imposed. If the driver is still in the probationary period, the driver's license will be revoked, and the driver will need to retake the test.
I once accidentally drove the wrong way on a regular street, and the traffic police fined me 200 yuan and deducted 3 points from my license. To be honest, it was extremely dangerous—I nearly collided with an oncoming vehicle. Actually, it's quite easy to make such mistakes, like hastily turning when stuck in traffic or being misled by navigation directions, but the consequences can be severe—not only financial loss but also a blemish on your driving record. So now, I've developed the habit of carefully observing road signs and markings before driving to avoid impulsive actions like that. Safety comes first, right? No one wants to cause major trouble just to save a few minutes.
As someone who has been driving for over 20 years, I've seen too many drivers going the wrong way on regular roads, resulting in 3 demerit points and a fine of around 200 yuan, with some even causing accidents. In daily driving, it's essential to always pay attention to roadside signs and one-way traffic indicators, avoiding shortcuts or following other vehicles that are breaking the rules. More importantly, maintaining a safe distance and keeping a forward-looking observation can reduce the chances of emergency lane changes and prevent wrong-way driving. Regularly brushing up on traffic regulations can also heighten your vigilance, as following the rules not only saves you from fines but can also be life-saving.
