How Many Points Are Deducted for Racing on the Road?

[JessicaLynn]

Racing on the road while driving a motor vehicle will result in a deduction of 6 points. Additional information is as follows: 1. Dangerous Driving Offense: Dangerous driving offense refers to the act of racing on the road while driving a motor vehicle under egregious circumstances or driving under the influence of alcohol. The dangerous driving offense is a newly added charge under the "Amendment to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China." Article 133-1 of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that those who commit a dangerous driving offense shall be sentenced to criminal detention and fined. 2. Traffic Violation Points Deduction: Traffic violation points deduction refers to the corresponding points deducted when drivers fail to comply with road traffic regulations, resulting in traffic violations. The point deduction for road traffic safety violations is mainly categorized into 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12-point deduction items.

I've been driving for over a decade, and what scares me most are those street racers and road ragers – it's literally playing with lives. Last year, a young guy in our neighborhood got caught street racing late at night and had his license revoked with 12 penalty points. According to traffic regulations, chasing and racing are considered dangerous driving, which not only results in full penalty points but also a fine of two thousand yuan or even detention. Many people don't realize that accumulating 12 points means retaking the written exam, which disrupts work and affects credit records. If you encounter provocation on the road, never lose your temper – slowing down and pulling over is the safest approach. Winning a race might land you in jail, while losing could cost you your life. It's truly not worth it!

Last time, the driving instructor repeatedly emphasized that chasing and racing on the road is a red line that must not be crossed. With the current complex road conditions, aggressive driving is the easiest way to cause accidents. If caught by surveillance cameras speeding or racing, it’s an immediate 12-point deduction and a 2,000-yuan fine. My cousin had his license suspended for six months last year because of this, and retaking the traffic regulations test was a real hassle. A special reminder to new drivers: maintain a safe distance and avoid driving out of anger. Speeding and reckless lane changes might seem thrilling, but they’re actually life-threatening. I’ve heard that in severe cases, it can even lead to detention, which is far scarier than losing points.

Reckless driving results in a minimum penalty of 12 demerit points and a fine of 2,000 yuan. Once at a traffic police station, I overheard someone being fined for street racing. Surveillance footage showed two cars repeatedly cutting each other off at speeds exceeding the limit by over 50%, constituting a severe violation. In addition to point deductions and fines, offenders must retake the traffic regulations test. Some car owners modify exhaust pipes for loud nighttime disruptions and face the same penalties if reported. It's particularly emphasized that such violations leave a legal record, affecting future license renewals. Dashcam footage of racing behavior also serves as valid evidence.
