How many points are deducted for overtaking by borrowing the lane or occupying the opposite lane?
2 Answers
Overtaking by borrowing the lane or occupying the opposite lane deducts 2 points. The relevant introduction to Subject 2 is as follows: Introduction 1: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, referred to as the field driving skill test subject. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves). Introduction 2: The test items for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 include pile test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, driving through curves, and turning at a right angle. Introduction 3: Passing through a limited-width gate, passing through continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulating highways, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) days, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
Overtaking by borrowing the opposite lane or occupying the oncoming traffic lane is a serious issue! Having driven for half my life, the most common penalty is a 3-point deduction, especially in no-overtaking zones like double solid line sections or near intersections—getting caught there can escalate to 6 points. I once saw a young driver in a hurry overtake by using the opposite lane, only to be caught by a traffic camera. Not only did he get points deducted and fined, but he also nearly collided with a heavy truck. Always drive steadily; when overtaking, choose only dashed-line sections and ensure no vehicles are approaching before changing lanes. Otherwise, you’ll not only lose points but also complicate insurance claims—hardly worth it. Stay updated with the latest traffic regulations; many areas now have highly sensitive cameras. Safety first!
