How many points are deducted for driving in the wrong direction on an elevated road?
1 Answers
Driving in the wrong direction on an elevated road results in a deduction of three points, with penalties including a warning or a fine. For fines imposed on pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers, if the party involved has no objections, the fine can be collected on the spot. Fines must be issued with a unified receipt from the finance department of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government. If the unified receipt from the finance department is not provided, the party involved has the right to refuse to pay the fine. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": 1. If a motor vehicle driver commits any of the following violations, 3 points will be deducted at one time: driving a motor vehicle without overtaking or yielding as required, or driving in the wrong direction. 2. If a motor vehicle driver commits any of the following violations, 12 points will be deducted at one time: driving a motor vehicle in reverse, driving in the wrong direction, or crossing the central divider on a highway. Motor Vehicle Traffic Regulations: Article 42: When driving on the road, motor vehicles shall not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On road sections without speed limit signs, a safe speed shall be maintained. When driving at night or on sections prone to danger, or under weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or ice, the driving speed shall be reduced. Article 43: When motor vehicles are driving in the same lane, the following vehicle shall maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front to allow for emergency braking measures. In any of the following circumstances, overtaking is not allowed: the vehicle in front is making a left turn, turning around, or overtaking; there is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle; the vehicle in front is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency tasks; or passing through sections such as railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or urban areas with heavy traffic where overtaking is not possible.
