How many points are deducted for driving in the wrong direction?
1 Answers
Driving in the wrong direction results in a one-time deduction of 12 points. Additional information: According to Article 35 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles shall drive on the right side. Motor vehicle driving in the wrong direction is divided into two situations: 1. Driving in the wrong direction on a road section, or not following the prescribed direction on a one-way road: This type of violation constitutes a violation of prohibition signs. Due to factors such as narrow roads and high traffic volume, there are currently 31 one-way roads set up in urban areas to reduce traffic congestion. However, despite the presence of prominent traffic signs at intersections, some drivers still enter one-way roads in the wrong direction. 2. Driving in the wrong direction at an intersection: In China, driving is on the right side. Driving on the left side of a divided road is considered driving in the wrong direction. Motor vehicles driving in the wrong direction pose significant risks. Moreover, if a driver operating a motor vehicle in the wrong direction causes a traffic accident with a vehicle driving in the correct direction, the driver of the wrong-way vehicle bears full responsibility.
