How many points are deducted for making a U-turn on a highway ramp?

Making a U-turn on a highway ramp and being caught on camera will result in a deduction of 12 points. According to Article 1 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations": If a motor vehicle driver drives a motor vehicle in reverse, against the traffic flow, or makes a U-turn across the central divider on a highway, 12 points will be deducted. When driving on a highway, it is necessary to drive in the designated lane: Highway lanes are clearly marked, with dedicated lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. Once a lane is occupied during overtaking, the driver should promptly return to their corresponding lane after completing the overtaking maneuver and avoid occupying other lanes for an extended period. Additionally, emergency lanes should not be occupied for non-emergency reasons. When driving on a highway, maintain a safe speed: The dangers of speeding are well-known, whether on local roads or highways, as it can lead to irreversible consequences. When driving on a highway, maintain a safe longitudinal distance between vehicles: Under normal circumstances, on dry roads with good braking conditions, the distance between vehicles (in meters) should not be less than the numerical value of the speed (in km/h). For example, at a speed of 80 km/h, the distance should not be less than 80 meters; at a speed of 100 km/h, it should not be less than 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside signs indicating the distance between vehicles. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, the distance between vehicles should be more than doubled. When driving on a highway, pay attention to traffic signs: While driving, always be aware of the signs and markings on the roadside and overhead, and drive appropriately to the right to avoid running over the right lane dividing line, thereby providing sufficient lateral distance for vehicles behind to overtake. Do not arbitrarily occupy the emergency lane in the event of a traffic accident: Traffic accidents are inevitable on highways. If other vehicles cause a traffic accident that blocks the travel lane, do not arbitrarily occupy the emergency lane, as this may prevent rescue vehicles from performing their duties. When driving on a highway, avoid fatigued driving: Fatigued driving is extremely dangerous on highways. Once fatigued, a person's physical reaction ability decreases, making it difficult to respond correctly to sudden situations.
