How Many Points Are Deducted for Parking on the Diversion Line?
1 Answers
Illegally parking on the diversion line is no longer penalized as 'violating the prohibition marking instructions' with 3 points deducted, but as occupying the emergency lane, resulting in 6 points deducted. For commercial passenger vehicles, the penalty is doubled, with 12 points deducted. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Diversion line area: The diversion line area is a frequent site of illegal parking on highways. Many drivers mistakenly believe it to be a safe zone for temporary parking, often stopping to make phone calls, inquire about road conditions, or rest. However, in reality, parking in the diversion line area is strictly prohibited. 2. Safety hazards: Driving over the diversion line poses significant safety risks. Typically, diversion lines are placed at intersections or where multiple lanes merge, areas with high safety hazard potential. If a driver forces a lane change by driving over the diversion line, it can easily lead to traffic accidents. During driving, any vehicle that crosses the diversion line is considered to have committed a traffic violation.
