How many points are deducted for stopping midway during curve driving?

If any wheel presses against the road edge line, 100 points will be deducted (previously, squeezing the edge line would deduct 20 points, and crossing the line would deduct 100 points. The new standard has increased the penalty for squeezing the edge line to 100 points). Stopping midway will also deduct 100 points. Guidelines for curve driving: when turning left, stay to the right; when turning right, stay to the left. The steering angle should generally be controlled around 90 degrees, avoiding large adjustments. Maintain a steady speed throughout, not too fast, and do not stop midway. The vehicle body can brush the line but must not press it. The entire process should be completed in 1st gear at a steady speed. Below are some parking precautions: 1. When waiting at a red light, shift to N gear, not D gear while pressing the brake: Many people keep the gear in D and press the brake for convenience while waiting at a red light or in traffic. This is incorrect as it increases fuel consumption and, more importantly, if a rear-end collision occurs, the car may lurch forward, potentially damaging the transmission if the gear is in D. Therefore, if the wait is long, shift to N gear and engage the handbrake, which saves fuel and allows your foot to rest. 2. When accelerating to overtake, do not keep pressing the accelerator: Continuously pressing the accelerator will delay gear downshifting. The correct approach is to press the accelerator to raise the RPM to between 2000 and 2500, then briefly release it, which will prompt the gear to downshift. If the car has an S gear, it's even simpler—just shift to S gear when overtaking, as the transmission will respond more sensitively, providing faster acceleration.
To be honest, I've checked the traffic regulations about how many points are deducted for stopping midway on a curve. Generally, it's 3 points. Because visibility is poor on curves, stopping can easily cause rear-end collisions or rollover accidents. Under centrifugal force, the vehicle is hard to control, posing significant risks to both yourself and vehicles behind. Once when I was driving, I accidentally stopped on a mountain curve and was penalized 3 points plus a 200-yuan fine. Luckily, nothing serious happened. Now whenever I approach a curve, I slow down in advance to find a safe area to stop. Never make an abrupt stop on a curved section—safety comes first, far more important than points. Developing good driving habits helps avoid unnecessary trouble.
