How many points are deducted for driving or parking in violation of regulations?

Parking in violation of regulations does not result in point deductions but incurs a certain fine. Here is more relevant information: Legal basis: Article 63 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that temporary parking of motor vehicles on the road shall comply with the following regulations: Parking is prohibited in sections with no-parking signs or markings, sections with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, crosswalks, and construction zones. Other prohibitions: Parking is not allowed at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or within 50 meters of these locations. Additionally, parking is prohibited in front of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations, and within 30 meters of these locations, except when using these facilities.
I've been driving for over a decade and seen plenty of these violations. Not driving according to regulations, like changing lanes randomly or running red lights, usually results in around 3 penalty points; illegal parking in no-stopping zones or within yellow lines also typically incurs 3 points plus a few hundred yuan fine. The key is the specific situation: minor violations might just be a fine without points, but serious ones, like causing congestion or accidents, can lead to more points, up to a maximum of 12. With only 12 points on a license, losing them all means retaking the test, which is a hassle. I always pay attention to road signs when driving daily and double-check parking spots to avoid mistakes. Safe driving is no small matter—it protects both you and others. Developing good habits saves worry and money; everyone should follow traffic rules to reduce accident risks.
