Not following the rules when meeting another vehicle results in a deduction of 1 point and a fine of 200 yuan. Additional information about meeting another vehicle: Principles for yielding when meeting another vehicle: The principle for yielding when meeting another vehicle is that turning vehicles must yield to vehicles going straight, vehicles coming from the right side of the road have the right of way, and right-turning vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles. When facing a sign for meeting another vehicle, the upward arrow represents yourself. If your arrow is large (black or white), it means you have the right of way (you go first); if your arrow is small (red), it means you must yield (the other party goes first). Regulations regarding meeting another vehicle: When there are traffic signs or markings, yield to the party with the right of way; when there are no traffic signs or markings, stop and look before entering the intersection, yielding to vehicles coming from the right side of the road; turning vehicles must yield to vehicles going straight; right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles.
Back when I drove long-haul trucks, I often saw rookie drivers getting penalized for failing to yield properly during oncoming traffic encounters—resulting in an immediate 3-point deduction. This isn't something to take lightly. For instance, forcing through narrow roads without yielding or failing to give way to straight-moving vehicles during wide turns are both violations. Last year during a nighttime mountain drive, I nearly caused an accident by not slowing down promptly for an approaching car—ended up with points deducted and a 200-yuan fine when the police arrived. Accumulating 12 points means retaking the test, wasting time and hurting your livelihood. The real issue is the major safety hazard: risking collisions and casualties, especially on slippery rainy or snowy roads. My advice? Develop good habits—honk early to signal, control speed, and ensure safe passage for both sides to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As an ordinary office worker who frequently commutes by car, I think getting 3 penalty points for improper meeting of vehicles is quite common. Last month, my friend was caught on camera forcing his way through at a main city intersection without waiting for the green light while meeting another vehicle, resulting in 3 penalty points and a fine. This isn't too severe, but each violation reminds us to pay attention to rule details, like slowing down and yielding at intersections, or switching lights when meeting vehicles at night. After getting penalty points, insurance premiums might increase, and worse, frequent violations could affect credit records. When I drive, I always remind myself: safety first, choose the right moment when meeting vehicles, don't rush or get impatient, just ensure smooth passage.
When I first got my driver's license, I was particularly afraid of making mistakes during oncoming traffic encounters. My instructor always said that failing to yield properly could result in a 3-point deduction, such as forcing your way in a no-passing zone or turning left without giving way to oncoming traffic from the right. Once on a rural road, I hesitated and didn't yield in time, getting a warning from the police but no points deducted. Now, I always observe the road conditions in advance. If traffic is heavy, I'd rather stop and let the other party pass first. A 3-point deduction might sound minor, but it adds up and becomes troublesome. Beginners should practice simulated scenarios first to ensure familiarity with traffic signs and light signals, avoiding unexpected point deductions.
