How many points are deducted for parking on the highway emergency lane?
2 Answers
6 points. Driving a motor vehicle on the emergency lane or parking a non-commercial vehicle on the highway emergency lane under non-emergency circumstances will result in a deduction of 6 points. Here is the relevant information: 1. Regulations: The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles on highways should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour. The minimum speed should not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. For roads with two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; 2. Speed limit signs: If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs is inconsistent with the above-mentioned lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs.
Stopping on the emergency lane of a highway is no small matter. I've seen many people get fined for pulling over temporarily—usually a 6-point deduction and a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 RMB. It's illegal because the emergency lane is reserved exclusively for ambulances or vehicles in distress. Random stops can easily cause rear-end collisions, and with high speeds, the risks are too great. When driving, I always remind myself: only pull over for real emergencies, otherwise wait for a service area. If the car breaks down, you must immediately turn on the hazard lights, place a warning triangle 150 meters away, and stand outside the guardrail while waiting for help. Losing that many points could lead to a full deduction and license suspension, making retaking the test a huge hassle. Developing good habits, like checking the route before departure, can avoid such awkward situations.
