How many points are deducted for driving with both hands off the steering wheel?

[VanAndres]

Driving with both hands off the steering wheel results in a deduction of 6 points and a fine. The following situations will result in a 12-point deduction: Reversing, driving in the opposite direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider on a highway; driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 50% of the prescribed limit; drunk driving leads to a 6-month license suspension and a fine; driving under the influence results in the revocation of the motor vehicle driving license and criminal liability; no reapplication for a motor vehicle driving license within five years. Driving precautions: When driving normally, do not answer phone calls or smoke while driving, and keep both hands on the steering wheel. Many drivers answer phone calls or smoke while driving. If caught by traffic cameras, points will be deducted and fines imposed. Do not listen to music with headphones while driving, as this prevents hearing honking sounds outside the vehicle and severely compromises driving safety.

Taking your hands off the steering wheel while driving is really unreliable—I've seen too many lessons learned from this. According to traffic rules, this counts as dangerous driving behavior, typically resulting in a 2-point deduction and a fine of around 100-200 yuan. While the points may seem minor, the consequences can be severe. Don’t underestimate those two points—the steering wheel is the lifeline for controlling your vehicle’s direction. If you encounter a sharp turn or sudden road changes, letting go could cause the car to skid or even lose control. I remember my neighbor once nearly rolled his car on the highway when he took his hands off to grab something. My advice to all drivers: develop good habits. Even if you operate with just one hand, keep it steady. If you must let go to adjust something, pull over first—it’s much safer. Safety is the top priority; penalty points are just a warning. Don’t risk major consequences for minor conveniences.

Friends, as someone who enjoys studying traffic laws, I must remind you that driving with both hands off the steering wheel is a clear violation. According to relevant regulations in China, this may be considered as obstructing safe driving, typically resulting in a 2-point deduction, and sometimes an additional fine of 200 yuan. But the key issue isn't the points—it's the immense risk involved. Without a firm grip on the wheel, the car becomes like a runaway horse, drastically increasing the chance of accidents, especially in rainy conditions or at night. I recommend practicing one-handed driving skills in daily life or staying fully focused even with assistance systems engaged. Remember, rules exist to protect lives—those few points deducted may seem minor, but they represent a profound lesson.

Don't take your hands off the steering wheel while driving, the rule is crystal clear. Traffic laws can deduct 2 points from your license, and you won't escape the fine either. The steering wheel controls direction, and letting go can lead to accidents in no time. I once saw a friend take his hands off to light a cigarette, and the car nearly hit a tree. Losing a few points is nothing compared to safety. It's best to always keep your hands on the wheel and not seek momentary ease. Even briefly letting go to check GPS requires ensuring the road is clear.
