How many points are deducted for reversing at an intersection?
2 Answers
Reversing at an intersection will result in a deduction of 2 points and a fine. Below is an introduction to reversing: 1. Definition: Reversing refers to the act of a motor vehicle moving backward. 2. Basic essentials: When parking in a parking lot, first estimate the width of the parking space, check for any obstacles behind, whether there are vehicles parked on either side, and if the length suits your vehicle model. If visibility is poor at night, step out to observe the exact position before reversing. 3. Safety measures: Before reversing, always check the rear situation, plan the reversing route, and ensure the front of the vehicle won't hit any obstacles during the process. Especially when turning the steering wheel sharply, the turning radius of the front wheels is larger than that of the rear wheels, causing the front of the vehicle to swing outward more significantly. Be cautious to avoid scraping the front. This method is more suitable for parking on the right side and when a longer reversing distance is required.
I sincerely advise against reversing at intersections, as it typically results in a 3-point deduction and may incur a fine of several hundred yuan. Intersections are inherently complex with dense traffic flow and pedestrian activity; reckless reversing can easily block vehicles behind or lead to collisions with electric bikes. Once, I witnessed a minor accident where a driver nearly hit a pedestrian while reversing carelessly. While a 3-point deduction isn't fatal, accumulating them can jeopardize your license. Safety first—if you must reverse, find an open space or park to adjust. Avoid taking risks at intersections. Following rules protects everyone; always pay attention to road signs while driving, and cultivating good habits is the right path.
