Not driving as required will result in a deduction of 3 points. Below is additional information: Categories of not driving as required: Driving a motor vehicle not in the designated lane, typically refers to not driving in the correct lane, crossing or straddling lane lines. Violations: Driving a motor vehicle on a highway not in the designated lane, violation code: 43120, penalty standard: 3-point deduction; Driving a motor vehicle on an urban expressway not in the designated lane, violation code: 13550, penalty standard: 3-point deduction; Driving a motor vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways not in the designated lane, violation code: 60230, penalty standard: no point deduction.
The penalty points for not driving according to regulations vary depending on the specific violation type, and I usually pay extra attention while driving. Common situations include running a red light, which deducts 6 points—this is the most frequent one; speeding that exceeds the limit by 50% or more results in a one-time deduction of 12 points, while milder speeding also deducts 6 points; occupying the emergency lane similarly deducts 6 points; and not driving in the correct lane or illegal lane changes usually deduct around 3 points. Overall, the penalty points range between 3 and 12, depending on the severity of the violation. Road rules are designed to protect everyone's safety, and I often remind myself to check traffic signs to avoid misjudgment. If a violation occurs accidentally, besides penalty points, there may also be fines ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan. In severe cases, the driver's license may be temporarily suspended or revoked, requiring retaking the test. Staying focused while driving daily and regularly reviewing traffic regulations can help reduce such incidents.
