How many points are deducted for not placing a danger warning sign?
2 Answers
Failure to place a danger warning sign during a traffic accident will result in a deduction of 3 points. If an accident occurs on the highway, the correct procedure is to turn on the right turn signal, safely merge into the emergency lane when conditions permit, stop smoothly on the right side of the emergency lane, engage the parking brake, turn on the hazard lights, and set up a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle to prevent secondary collisions from rear-end impacts; passengers should move outside the safety guardrail or to a safe area, call the highway emergency number, and wait for rescue. The role of the danger warning sign: The danger warning sign is a passive reflector made of plastic reflective material. When a driver encounters a sudden breakdown requiring parking for repairs or an accidental collision, the reflective properties of the triangular warning sign can alert other vehicles to avoid it, preventing secondary accidents. Correct placement method for the danger warning sign: When placing the danger warning sign, ensure the reflective side faces outward. Hold it with both hands and walk toward the direction of oncoming traffic. This allows the headlights of approaching vehicles to reflect off the warning sign, promptly alerting them to take evasive action. Always turn on the hazard lights inside the vehicle when parking.
Hey, as someone who's been driving for half a lifetime, I know the importance of this issue. Once my car broke down on the highway, and I rushed out to check without placing the warning triangle. When the police arrived, I got 3 points deducted and a 200-yuan fine. The scariest part was when a truck almost hit me—I still feel terrified thinking about it. Not placing a warning triangle usually results in 3 points deducted and a fine of 100-200 yuan, depending on the region. But in rainy weather or at night, the risk doubles and could lead to chain accidents. I recommend keeping a triangle and a first-aid kit in your car at all times, and place the triangle 50 meters away when stopping. Safety is no small matter—a little triangle can protect us all. Just make it a habit.
