How Many Points Are Deducted for Driving in the Wrong Direction in a Construction Zone?

[Matilda]

Deduction of points for driving in the wrong direction in a construction zone depends on the actual situation. Traffic enforcement departments will place corresponding traffic signs to guide drivers in construction zones. If there are clear traffic instructions allowing drivers to proceed in the opposite direction, it is not considered a violation. However, if there are no such instructions, it is considered a violation, resulting in a deduction of 6 points. Penalties for driving in the wrong direction under normal circumstances: If a vehicle drives in the wrong direction on a normal road, it is considered illegal. According to the Traffic Law, driving in the wrong direction on a regular road results in a deduction of 3 points and a fine. If a vehicle drives in the wrong direction on a highway, it will result in a deduction of 12 points, a fine, and possible suspension of the driver's license. Driving in the wrong direction refers to the following situations: On roads with solid dividing lines, vehicles entering the opposite lane are considered to be driving in the wrong direction. This includes double solid lines and single solid lines, which must not be crossed under any circumstances. On roads with dashed dividing lines, vehicles may overtake by borrowing the opposite lane if it is safe to do so. However, if an accident occurs, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be deemed to have been driving in the wrong direction. On roads marked as one-way, any vehicle entering in the opposite direction is considered to be driving in the wrong direction. Procedures for handling fines and point deductions for driving in the wrong direction: Bring your driver's license, ID card, and vehicle registration to the vehicle management office, take a number, and wait. Submit the documents to the staff, who will retrieve the violation information and ask the driver to confirm it. Once confirmed, the staff will issue a penalty decision. Take the penalty decision to the designated bank to pay the fine. After paying the fine, the violation will be cleared, and the deducted points will also be removed. However, note that the total points deducted must not exceed 12. If the points reach 12, the driver must undergo training and testing. The fine must be paid within 15 days. After 15 days, a late fee of 3% per day will be charged, but the total late fee cannot exceed the original fine amount. The deducted points will be reset at the start of the next cycle. The driver's license cycle is one year, starting from the date of the violation, and the points will automatically reset at the end of the cycle.
