2 Answers
Driving improperly on the highway with low visibility will result in a deduction of 6 points. Additional information: The following are the regulations that motor vehicles must adhere to when driving normally on the highway: 1. No reversing, driving in the wrong direction, crossing the central divider to make a U-turn or turn; 2. No test driving or learning to drive a motor vehicle; 3. No overtaking or parking on the ramp, acceleration lane, or deceleration lane; 4. No straddling or pressing the lane dividing line and continuously driving in the overtaking lane; 5. No overtaking on the right side; 6. Except in cases of encountering obstacles, vehicle breakdowns, or other situations where stopping is necessary, no arbitrary stopping, picking up or dropping off passengers, or loading/unloading goods; 7. Except for entering or exiting the emergency parking strip and shoulder due to parking, no driving on the emergency parking strip and shoulder.
I remember one time driving on the highway in foggy weather without slowing down as required or turning on the fog lights, and I got pulled over by traffic police and had 6 points deducted. That day, visibility was less than 100 meters, and I was in a hurry, maintaining a speed of over 80 km/h without turning on the lights, thinking it would be fine. Actually, the traffic laws are very clear: when visibility is below 200 meters in foggy conditions, you must reduce speed to under 60 km/h, maintain a safe distance of over 100 meters, and turn on the fog lights and low beams. Violating these rules can result in a warning and a 200 yuan fine at the least, or directly deducting 6 points affecting your driver's license at worst. That experience reminded me not to underestimate the weather—both safety and points are important. Since then, I always check the forecast in advance to avoid traveling in foggy conditions. If I do encounter fog, I follow the rules and drive slowly, not risking my life or my points.
