How many points are deducted for driving in the wrong direction on a regular road?
3 Answers
Driving in the wrong direction on a regular road results in a deduction of 3 points, while doing so on a highway leads to a 12-point deduction. Penalties for driving in the wrong direction on regular roads: Both reckless overtaking and driving in the wrong direction on urban roads will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Meanwhile, reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider on a highway will directly incur a 12-point deduction. Behaviors resulting in a 6-point deduction: Continuing to drive after your driver's license has been temporarily suspended is strictly prohibited. Doing so will result in an additional 6-point deduction. Driving in the emergency lane, also known as the life lane, which is reserved for ambulances and tow trucks to quickly reach accident scenes, is another offense that incurs a 6-point deduction.
I've seen a lot of illegal driving during my long-distance trips. Driving against traffic on regular roads is a high-risk behavior, which directly deducts 3 points from the driver's license and incurs a fine of 200 RMB. The risks are significant, as a momentary lapse can lead to a collision with oncoming vehicles, especially on curves or in poor lighting conditions, where accidents are more likely to occur. I recommend always paying attention to road signs and arrows while driving, staying alert and avoiding fatigue driving. If you accidentally go the wrong way, pull over safely and adjust immediately. Developing a habit of using navigation to confirm directions can greatly reduce such mistakes. Safety comes first; fines and points are minor compared to personal safety.
I remember one weekend when I was hanging out with friends, he was in a hurry and drove the wrong way, ending up going against traffic and getting caught on camera. As a result, he lost 3 points and was fined 200 yuan. Actually, penalties for driving the wrong way on regular roads aren’t the strictest, but losing points reduces your annual total. Once you’ve used up all 12 points for the year, you have to take a theoretical course. He reflected afterward and said it was an accident caused by being distracted by his phone. Now, we all remind each other to plan the route before driving and pay attention to road signs. Developing good habits helps avoid unnecessary risks, saving money and staying safe. Simply put, losing points affects the points system, and accumulating violations can make things worse.
