I just heard from a friend about getting points deducted for occupying the emergency lane during a traffic jam. On highways, emergency lanes are reserved for ambulances and police vehicles to save lives, not for regular traffic. Occupying them results in an immediate 6-point deduction and a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan. I've encountered this situation before when a rescue was needed for an accident behind, but the lane was blocked—truly harmful to both oneself and others. Remember to stay patient while driving, pay attention to road signs, and avoid cutting into the emergency lane during congestion just to save time. Keeping up with traffic law updates is crucial, as urban road violations are now strictly monitored. Developing good habits can protect both your safety and others'.
