How many points will be deducted and how much will be fined for driving in the wrong direction? How long does it take to receive the notification?

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.

As a safe driving volunteer, I would like to remind everyone that driving against traffic is extremely irresponsible behavior towards oneself and others. According to traffic regulations, driving against traffic on ordinary roads typically results in a 3-point deduction and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan, while on highways or urban expressways, it directly leads to a 12-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. Violation notices are usually sent via SMS, and the system needs to verify the evidence captured by electronic surveillance, a process that takes 3 to 15 days. For safety, always pay attention to road markings, especially on unfamiliar roads—don't take risks. If you do get fined, it's best to handle it promptly to avoid affecting your vehicle's annual inspection.

Driving against the traffic on regular roads and being caught by electronic surveillance usually results in a 3-point deduction and a fine of around 200 yuan. My neighbor encountered this issue last week and received a text message notification about 5 days after being caught. Reversing on highways is more strictly penalized with a 12-point deduction and a 200 yuan fine. If caught on the spot by police, the penalty results will be informed immediately. For violations captured electronically, the information needs to undergo backend review before notifications are sent out. Traffic laws stipulate that notifications must be delivered within 15 days. It is recommended to install the 12123 APP and link your license plate for automatic notification pushes and to check the progress of traffic violations.

Reversing is really not worth it, costing both money and points. On ordinary roads, reversing typically results in a 3-point deduction and a 200 yuan fine, while on highways it's even harsher with a 12-point deduction and a 200 yuan fine. Traffic authorities usually take a few days to process notifications; based on recent cases I've checked, it takes an average of 3-7 days to receive an SMS reminder. After being caught by electronic surveillance, the data is first sent back to the platform for review, and only after verification will it be entered into the system and a notification sent. Remember to handle fines promptly to avoid overdue penalties, as some people have faced additional late fees due to prolonged delays. Always pay attention to road arrow markings while driving, especially when entering tunnels or narrow roads—don't change lanes recklessly.
