1 Answers
Making a U-turn at a red light will result in a deduction of 6 points. This is because making a U-turn at a red light violates the regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law. According to the relevant provisions in the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations": driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points for each offense. Examination scoring criteria: U-turn timing: Failure to correctly observe traffic conditions and choose the appropriate time for a U-turn will result in disqualification; U-turn location: Choosing an inappropriate location for a U-turn will result in disqualification; U-turn technique: One-step U-turn (using left or right intersections for a U-turn): When using the right intersection for a U-turn, turn on the right turn signal, slow down and select an appropriate gear, observe the traffic on the right, turn right, proceed appropriately, then turn on the left turn signal, observe the traffic ahead and behind, turn left, and complete the one-step U-turn safely; when using the left intersection for a U-turn, turn on the left turn signal, slow down and shift to a lower gear, observe the traffic on the left and ahead and behind, and turn appropriately based on the intersection position to complete the one-step U-turn. Road U-turn: Choose a wide section of the road with good visibility, slow down and shift to a lower gear, turn on the left turn signal, use the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and look sideways to observe the traffic ahead and behind, confirm safety, and quickly turn left; if the front of the vehicle reaches the edge of the road before the rear does, use the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and look sideways to observe the traffic ahead and behind, confirm safety, shift to reverse, start the vehicle and back up to a suitable position, stop, turn on the left turn signal, use the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and look sideways to observe the traffic ahead and behind, confirm safety, and quickly turn left until the front and rear of the vehicle are opposite to the original direction, start moving forward, and complete the U-turn; if the U-turn is completed in one step, start moving forward and complete the U-turn.
