How Many Points Are Deducted for Occupying the Emergency Lane?
1 Answers
Occupying the emergency lane will result in a penalty of 6 points deducted and a fine. If the emergency lane is occupied for a long time and affects the passage of vehicles performing official duties, the penalty will be 12 points deducted, and criminal liability may even be pursued. There are only 2 situations where using the emergency lane will not be penalized. Driver suddenly falls ill or feels unwell: If the driver suddenly falls ill (such as fainting, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, etc.) during the journey and can no longer continue driving normally, the vehicle can be driven into the emergency lane, and the driver can call 120 to wait for medical personnel to arrive. Fatigue driving is not included in this category. If the driver enters the emergency lane due to fatigue driving, points will still be deducted and a fine imposed. Vehicle malfunction: If the vehicle suddenly malfunctions during the journey, such as a flat tire, brake failure, running out of fuel, etc., and can no longer continue driving normally, the vehicle can be driven into the emergency lane.
