How many points are deducted for reversing at an intersection?

[DeLawson]

Reversing at an intersection deducts 3 points. According to the regulations in the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law: When reversing a motor vehicle, the driver should observe the situation behind the vehicle and confirm safety before reversing. Reversing is not allowed at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels. When preparing to reverse, observe changes in the surrounding environment and make good use of the three rearview mirrors in the vehicle. Auxiliary devices such as reversing radars and reversing cameras can also help drivers reverse safely, but these are only aids and should not be completely relied upon. When reversing in complex environments or narrow passages, steer carefully to avoid turning the wrong way and causing scratches or collisions. Precautions for reversing: Before reversing, observe the terrain carefully. When parking, pay attention to whether there are any obstacles around the parking space when driving past it.

I learned this hard lesson in my driving career: reversing at an intersection is like playing with fire! Once during rush hour, I was in a hurry to make a U-turn and backed into the intersection, only to be caught by a traffic officer. He clearly stated that this behavior violates traffic rules, resulting in a 3-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. This is no small matter because intersections are bustling with traffic, and your visibility is limited when reversing, making it easy to hit pedestrians or oncoming vehicles. From my experience, similar accidents are not uncommon. My advice is that if you miss an intersection, just drive straight ahead to a safe area and then circle back. In short, developing good habits is key—don’t risk saving time, as accumulating too many points can lead to a revoked license. Safety should always be the top priority.

When I first got my driver's license, I was also curious about this. The instructor emphasized: reversing at intersections is 100% illegal and will result in a 3-point deduction. I checked the regulations—it's considered reversing against traffic rules and may also incur a fine of several hundred yuan. The danger lies in disrupting other vehicles' passage, especially during peak hours. Imagine not noticing the traffic light change while reversing—it could cause a rear-end collision in seconds. My practical advice is to develop the habit of observation. If there's no space at the intersection, don't force it. Nowadays, I'd rather drive around than take the risk. Points deduction is just a warning; the key is to avoid tragedies. Remember, good driving habits protect both yourself and others.

From a traffic regulation perspective, reversing at intersections constitutes a serious violation. The standard penalty is a 3-point deduction, with fines starting from 200 RMB depending on circumstances. The reason is straightforward: such areas have frequent vehicle movement, and reversing increases collision risks. These penalties are established to maintain road order and safety. If you frequently make similar mistakes, it's advisable to plan your route in advance or use navigation prompts. Personally, I believe these regulations are well-designed, prioritizing prevention. In short, adhering to the rules makes for smoother driving.
