If you make a turn at an intersection and end up driving in the wrong direction, and are caught by cameras or police, you will be fined 200 yuan and have 3 points deducted from your license. According to Article 3, Point 9 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations': If a motor vehicle driver fails to overtake or yield as required, or drives in the opposite direction, 3 points will be deducted for each violation. Driving in the opposite direction refers to the following situations: 1. On roads with solid dividing lines, if a motor vehicle enters the opposite lane. Among these, roads with double solid lines or single solid lines must never be crossed under any circumstances. 2. On roads with dashed dividing lines, overtaking by borrowing the opposite lane is allowed if it can be done safely. However, if an accident occurs, the vehicle that borrowed the lane will be considered as driving in the opposite direction. 3. On roads marked as one-way, any motor vehicle entering in the wrong direction will be considered as driving in the opposite direction. Driving in the opposite direction is a serious subjective traffic violation. In minor cases, it can cause traffic congestion and reduce road capacity; in severe cases, it can lead to major accidents, even fatal crashes resulting in vehicle destruction and loss of life.
