How many points are deducted for driving improperly on the highway with low visibility?

[DeRobert]

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.

I always pay attention to traffic regulations while driving. Failing to drive according to the rules in foggy conditions on highways results in a 6-point deduction. The Road Traffic Safety Law clearly states that when visibility is low, such as below 200 meters, the speed must be limited to within 60 km/h, maintaining a distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead, and fog lights or low beams must be turned on. If you exceed the speed limit, fail to turn on your lights, or follow too closely, you'll be penalized with 6 points and a 200 yuan fine if caught by cameras or traffic police. This rule is designed to prevent rear-end collisions, as the risk of accidents on highways increases fivefold in heavy fog. I recommend carrying a small regulation handbook or downloading a traffic app on your phone to review before driving, avoiding minor mistakes that could lead to major point deductions affecting your insurance.

In foggy weather on the highway, penalty points for not following rules mainly depend on severity, usually starting from 6 points. If visibility is poor, you must slow down and maintain distance, otherwise accidents are likely. The 6-point deduction is because it concerns others' safety—don't take chances. When I was driving, I once encountered someone who didn’t turn on their lights and was warned that next time it could result in penalty points. Safety first—don’t ignore regulations; make it a habit.
