How Many Points Are Deducted for Illegal Parking?
2 Answers
For each instance of illegal parking, a fine ranging from 20 to 200 RMB may be imposed. Depending on the specific circumstances of the vehicle's illegal parking, penalties can range from 2 to 12 points. Below are the detailed point deduction rules: 1. Deduct 12 points: Parking a commercial passenger vehicle within a highway lane will result in a 12-point deduction. 2. Deduct 6 points: Unjustified parking on a highway or parking on the emergency lane under non-emergency conditions will result in a 6-point deduction and a 200 RMB fine. 3. Deduct 3 points: Driving a motor vehicle through a pedestrian crossing without slowing down, stopping, or yielding to pedestrians as required will result in a 3-point deduction. 4. Deduct 2 points: Driving a motor vehicle through an intersection without following the prescribed driving or parking rules will result in a 2-point deduction. 5. No points deducted: Parking in urban areas or failing to promptly move away from an illegally parked vehicle will only incur a 200 RMB fine without any point deduction.
I know this issue. The traffic rules have changed recently. Generally, getting caught in a no-parking zone results in a fine of 200 yuan without any points deduction, which is quite common. However, if you park in emergency lanes on highways, it's extremely dangerous and will lead to a direct deduction of 6 points plus a fine. A friend of mine once parked hastily on the highway and got caught by an electronic eye, resulting in points deduction and a fine—totally not worth it. I suggest everyone pay attention to parking signs, especially in yellow-lined zones or near schools. Never park illegally for convenience; safety comes first. Points deduction affects your 12-point license cycle, and if all points are deducted, you'll have to retake the driving test.
