1 Answers
In 2021, driving in the wrong direction will result in a deduction of 3 points and a fine. If it occurs on a highway, the penalty is an immediate deduction of 12 points, a fine, and possible suspension of the driver's license for twelve months. According to Article 35 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles must drive on the right side. Drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage will receive a warning or be subject to corresponding fines. Instances of motor vehicles driving in the wrong direction: On roads with solid dividing lines, motor vehicles entering the opposite lane are considered driving in the wrong direction. Solid double or single lines must never be crossed under any circumstances. On roads with dashed dividing lines, overtaking is allowed if it can be done safely, but any resulting accident will classify the overtaking vehicle as driving in the wrong direction. On roads marked as one-way, any motor vehicle entering is deemed to be driving in the wrong direction. Point deduction regulations for motor vehicles: If a driver's accumulated points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If points do not reach 12 but fines remain unpaid, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Therefore, the timing of the violation and fine payment determines whether the points are recorded in the current or next scoring cycle.
