How many points are deducted for driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane?
2 Answers
Driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane results in a deduction of 0 to 2 points and a fine. When motor vehicles are permitted to use the non-motorized vehicle lane according to regulations, they must yield to non-motorized vehicles and their speed must not exceed 15 kilometers per hour. Therefore, motor vehicles cannot use the non-motorized vehicle lane without a valid reason. The following violations by motor vehicle drivers will result in a deduction of 3 points: 1. Driving a passenger vehicle (excluding buses and school buses) with passengers exceeding the approved number by less than 20%; 2. Driving a medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicle or a hazardous materials transport vehicle on a highway, or driving any other motor vehicle at a speed exceeding the limit by less than 20%; 3. Driving a truck with cargo exceeding the approved load capacity by less than 30%; 4. Driving a motor vehicle on a highway at a speed below the minimum limit; 5. Driving a motor vehicle prohibited from entering the highway onto the highway.
Last week, I was chatting with a friend who had just been caught by an electronic eye for using the non-motorized vehicle lane in a hurry. As a result, he received a text message notifying him of a 3-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. In fact, traffic regulations have long stipulated that motor vehicles occupying non-motorized vehicle lanes constitute driving in a lane not according to regulations, and the nationwide standard is a 3-point deduction. Once, I saw traffic police enforcing the law on the spot in the city, and the driver argued that he was just borrowing the lane to overtake, but he still ended up with points deducted. A special reminder to everyone: during peak hours in the morning and evening, don’t take shortcuts for temporary convenience. Non-motorized lanes often have electric bikes suddenly darting out, and in case of an accident, the responsibility lies entirely with the motor vehicle owner. It’s advisable to develop the habit of checking lane prompts on navigation in advance and quickly changing back to the correct lane at dotted lines if you take the wrong one—safe and worry-free.
