How many points are deducted for occupying the opposite lane?

Occupying the opposite lane will result in a deduction of 3 points and a small fine. Occupying the opposite lane: Crossing an intersection by occupying the opposite lane is considered driving against traffic. On roads with solid dividing lines, driving into the opposite lane is prohibited. Specifically, double solid lines or single solid lines must never be crossed under any circumstances; on roads marked with one-way signs, any entry by a motor vehicle is considered driving against traffic. Consequences of not fulfilling the penalty: Failure to pay the fine on time will result in an additional 3% of the fine amount being added per day, with the total additional fine not exceeding the original fine amount; the case may be referred to the People's Court for compulsory enforcement.

Occupying the opposite lane is a really common violation. I've seen many drivers recklessly change lanes during long-distance drives, only to be caught on camera, resulting in a 3-point deduction and a fine of two to three hundred yuan. Why such severe penalties? Because this behavior is extremely dangerous, potentially causing head-on collisions with high risks of casualties, hence strict traffic regulations. Always pay attention to double yellow lines or solid line markings while driving, and never take shortcuts by using the opposite lane, especially on mountain roads or in poor visibility conditions like rain. Remember, safety comes first. Checking navigation and traffic signals before each trip can prevent such mistakes, and regularly reviewing traffic rules is a good habit to avoid losing all points and having to retake the driving course.

When I first got my driver's license, I was particularly nervous about this rule. Occupying the opposite lane sounds scary, and after checking the information, I found it starts with a 3-point deduction. If it causes an accident, more points may be deducted. New drivers are prone to making mistakes at sharp bends or busy intersections. I have to remind myself: on two-lane roads, never use the opposite lane to overtake; staying in my own lane is much safer. I heard a friend was once fined 200 yuan plus points, and later had to attend training to make up for it. I recommend that new drivers practice more in safe areas to simulate driving and familiarize themselves with road signs before hitting the road. This way, they can gradually develop good habits and avoid risks.

Occupying the opposite lane is definitely a violation that will result in penalty points. Typically, it's 3 points per offense, but the severity depends on the circumstances. The key is to ensure everyone's safety and prevent chain accidents. It's best to stay focused on your own lane while driving, avoiding distractions like phones or other things. Developing good habits will keep you out of trouble.
