Driving in the wrong direction on highways will result in a 12-point deduction and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. On other roads, it will lead to a 3-point deduction and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Generally, the violation can be queried online or received via SMS notification within 3 to 7 days, with the latest notification not exceeding 13 working days. Below is some relevant information about driving in the wrong direction: 1. Definition of driving in the wrong direction: Moving in the opposite direction of the specified route. 2. Precautions for driving in the wrong direction: If you find yourself accidentally driving in the wrong direction on a highway, you should immediately pull over to the emergency lane while ensuring traffic safety, turn on the hazard lights, move all passengers to a safe area outside the guardrail, place a warning triangle 100 meters in front of the vehicle, and then contact the traffic police department. Cooperate fully with the traffic police when they arrive at the scene.
Last time I drove the wrong way on a one-way street and got caught by an electronic eye. That was a 3-point deduction for driving against traffic on a regular road, plus a 200-yuan fine. The notification SMS didn't arrive until a week later, so I initially thought I hadn't been caught. Later, a traffic officer told me that after electronic surveillance captures a violation, it undergoes manual review, and SMS notifications are sent within a maximum of 15 days after review. Driving the wrong way on highways is even stricter, with an immediate 12-point deduction. Now I've developed the habit of regularly checking the 12123 APP to avoid missing any notifications. I advise everyone to always check the signs carefully when encountering a one-way street, and don't take shortcuts like I did.
