If a commercial passenger vehicle stops in a highway lane, it will be penalized with 12 demerit points; if any other motor vehicle stops in a highway lane, it will be penalized with 6 demerit points. Highway driving regulations: No reversing, driving against traffic, crossing the central divider to make a U-turn or turn; No test driving or learning to drive a motor vehicle; No overtaking or stopping on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes; No straddling lane dividers or continuously driving in the overtaking lane; No overtaking on the right side; Except in cases of unavoidable obstacles or vehicle breakdowns, no arbitrary stopping, picking up or dropping off passengers, or loading/unloading goods; Except for entering or exiting emergency stopping lanes or shoulders, no driving on emergency stopping lanes or shoulders. When a motor vehicle breaks down on the highway, warning signs should be placed at least 150 meters behind the vehicle in the direction of oncoming traffic. Passengers should quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency lane and promptly call the police. If the vehicle cannot be driven normally due to a breakdown or accident, it must be towed or pulled by a rescue or recovery vehicle.
