How Many Points Are Deducted for Driving Against Traffic on Surface Roads?
1 Answers
Driving against traffic on ordinary roads results in a deduction of 3 points, while doing so on highways leads to a deduction of 12 points. Relevant regulations: According to the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations,' driving a motor vehicle without following the rules for overtaking or yielding, or driving against traffic, results in a deduction of 3 points; driving a motor vehicle on a highway while reversing, driving against traffic, or making a U-turn across the central divider results in a deduction of 12 points. Identification of driving against traffic: Under no circumstances should a vehicle cross the line. On roads with dashed dividing lines, overtaking can be done by borrowing the opposite lane if safety is ensured, but if an accident occurs, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be identified as driving against traffic. If you find yourself accidentally driving against traffic on a highway, you should immediately pull over to the emergency lane while ensuring traffic safety, turn on the hazard lights, move all passengers to a safe area outside the guardrail, place a warning triangle 100 meters in front of the vehicle, and then contact the traffic police. Cooperate fully with the police when they arrive at the scene.
