Driving in the wrong direction on a national highway results in a 12-point deduction. Wrong-way driving refers to motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles traveling on the left side, which is considered driving in the wrong direction. Hazards of wrong-way driving: Wrong-way driving can lead to severe traffic accidents, causing personal injuries and property damage. Drivers of motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles should drive on the right side and must not drive in the wrong direction; otherwise, they will be penalized with point deductions and may face fines. According to regulations, driving a motor vehicle without following overtaking or yielding rules, or driving in the wrong direction, results in a 3-point deduction. Driving a motor vehicle on a highway while reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider results in a 12-point deduction. Legal provisions: Article 1 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations" states that motor vehicle drivers committing any of the following violations will receive a 12-point deduction: driving a motor vehicle on a highway while reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider. Motor vehicle drivers committing any of the following violations will receive a 3-point deduction: driving a motor vehicle without following overtaking or yielding rules, or driving in the wrong direction. On roads with solid dividing lines, motor vehicles entering the opposite lane are prohibited. Roads with double solid lines or single solid lines must not be crossed under any circumstances. On roads with dashed dividing lines, overtaking is allowed if safety is ensured, but in case of an accident, the vehicle changing lanes will be deemed as driving in the wrong direction.
