1 Answers
Driving in the wrong direction on a roundabout will result in a deduction of 3 points. Here is the relevant information: Wrong-way driving: Under no circumstances should you cross the line to drive. On roads with dashed dividing lines, you may overtake by borrowing the opposite lane if it is safe to do so, but in the event of an accident, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be deemed to be driving in the wrong direction. Point deduction standards: Driving under the influence of alcohol, driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted type, or carrying more than 20% of the allowed capacity on a school bus will result in a 12-point deduction at once; driving with a suspended license or violating traffic signals will result in a 6-point deduction at once; driving below the minimum speed limit on highways or failing to undergo regular safety inspections will result in a 3-point deduction at once; failure to drive according to regulations or actions that hinder safe driving will result in a 2-point deduction at once; improper use of lights, failure to yield during encounters, or not carrying a driver's license, etc.
