How many points are deducted for driving in the wrong direction on the highway?

[JulietLynn]

Driving in the wrong direction on the highway results in a deduction of 12 points and may lead to a 12-month suspension of the driver's license, as well as possible administrative penalties. Driving in the wrong direction on the highway is a particularly severe form of wrong-way driving. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates two or more instances of 12-point deductions or a total of 24 or more points within a single scoring cycle, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after the driver passes the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. For those undergoing the road driving skills test, the examination will be based on the highest vehicle class permitted by their driver's license. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the test is failed, the driver must continue to participate in study and retake the test. Those who refuse to participate in study or take the test will have their driver's license suspended by the traffic management department of the public security authority.
