How Many Points Are Deducted for Driving with One Hand?

[JaceAnn]

Driving with one hand does not result in point deductions, but it is a bad driving habit. The following are the impacts of driving with one hand: Emergency braking: If the car suddenly brakes, human instinct usually leads to using both hands for support. If driving with one hand, emergency braking may cause the car to swerve. Car yaw: Controlling the steering wheel with one hand is inferior to using both hands in terms of strength, speed, and precision. If driving on bumpy roads, the car is more likely to yaw, which increases the risk of traffic accidents to some extent. Sudden incidents: In case of emergencies, the first priority is to control the steering wheel. If a tire blowout occurs, insufficient strength may prevent timely stabilization of the steering wheel.

Having driven for twenty years, my experience tells me that driving with one hand is risky, especially when making phone calls while driving, which can be caught by traffic cameras and result in a 2-point deduction. Once, a friend of mine got caught, facing both a fine and point deduction, and regretted it deeply. Statistics show that the accident rate has surged by 20% due to this. It's advisable to develop the habit of using Bluetooth headphones or pulling over to operate your phone. Safety first can save you a lot of trouble.

When working in traffic management positions, we often handle similar cases. Operating a mobile phone with one hand while driving is defined as behavior that hinders safety, resulting in a one-time deduction of 2 points. I've observed many cases where distracted drivers are prone to accidents. Cameras automatically identify violations, and accumulated penalty points can lead to the revocation of a driver's license. Nowadays, smart devices are being promoted to help maintain focus while driving. Everyone should pay more attention.

Buddy, to be honest, when I was a new driver, I tried driving with one hand and got caught on camera while making a call, resulting in a 2-point penalty. It felt really unfair. But rules are there for safety, so I switched to voice control afterward to avoid distractions. Stay focused while driving—don't let small mistakes affect your entire driving career.
