2 Answers
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. Here are some precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Maintain a safe distance: A reasonable distance between vehicles is a prerequisite for ensuring the safety of both parties. 2. Stay away from large vehicles: Unless you are driving a large vehicle, try to keep a distance from them when driving on the highway. 3. Change lanes correctly: Do not cross multiple lanes at once. Before changing lanes, carefully observe the traffic conditions, use turn signals, and honk to alert other vehicles. 4. Emergency lane: The emergency lane is reserved for vehicles in need. Unless under special circumstances, it should not be used.
Driving the wrong way on highways is something I've seen too much of after years of driving. It results in an immediate 12-point deduction, wiping out your license in one go, plus fines ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan. Why such harsh penalties? Speeds on highways often exceed 100 km/h, making wrong-way driving a suicidal act with an extremely high chance of head-on collisions, leading to fatal accidents in minutes. Once, I passed an accident scene and saw an ambulance rushing in—it scared me into a cold sweat. If caught, it's not just points and fines; your license could be revoked, affecting your driving record for life. My advice: always check your route before hitting the highway, use Amap for navigation to avoid wrong exits, or you'll regret it. Safety first when driving—don’t be reckless.
