Overtaking in the parking queue deducts 2 points. The following is a detailed introduction about the deduction of points for the automobile driver's license: Overview: If the points of a motor vehicle driver in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 points but there are still unpaid fines, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle. Others: When a Class C driver's license accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, the driver must attend a training class at the vehicle management office according to regulations and then take an exam. The driver can continue to use the license only after passing the exam. During the period when the exam is not passed, driving on the road is not allowed, otherwise it will be considered as driving without a license.

I've been driving on the road for most of my life and have seen too many accidents caused by impatient drivers trying to overtake in traffic jams. According to traffic rules, forcing your way into the opposite lane to overtake while vehicles are stopped in a queue is considered 'cutting in line of waiting vehicles.' This usually results in a 3-point deduction and a 200 yuan fine. These points might seem insignificant, but accumulating them a few times can lead to a revoked driver's license. More importantly, it's a safety issue. During traffic jams, everyone is impatient, and suddenly changing lanes can cause others to fail to brake in time, leading to collisions. I've personally witnessed the tragedy of multi-car pile-ups. So when faced with a long queue, I always follow the flow of traffic patiently. At worst, I might play some music to relax or check traffic conditions on my phone in advance to choose an alternative route—causing no trouble is safer. Remember, following the rules is for the good of yourself and others, to avoid accidents where regret comes too late.

From my personal experience of driving my kids to and from school, overtaking by borrowing the opposite lane while waiting in line is extremely dangerous. My child often says, 'Mom, don’t drive like those people who cut in line,' which makes me more mindful of following the rules. A traffic police officer friend told me that this behavior violates the 'Road Traffic Safety Law' and can result in a 3-point penalty and a 200-yuan fine if caught. The reason is simple: reckless overtaking during traffic jams not only increases the risk of minor collisions but also scares the kids in the car. Safety comes first, so whenever we’re stuck in traffic, I take the opportunity to teach my child the importance of patiently waiting in line—orderly driving actually gets everyone moving faster. By the way, new drivers especially should resist the urge to act impulsively and can use apps to plan routes that avoid peak hours.

Last time I was in a hurry to meet friends for dinner, I tried overtaking by borrowing the lane during traffic congestion and ended up getting caught on camera. I regretted it so much! According to the rules, this costs 3 points and a 200 yuan fine. Thinking about it now, it really wasn't worth the risk just to save a few minutes. I've learned my lesson—when stuck in traffic, I either relax and listen to music or send messages, or simply take a detour to avoid the jam. After all, the rules are there for everyone's benefit.
