How many points will be deducted for illegal overtaking?
2 Answers
Illegal overtaking will result in a deduction of 3 points, and failure to yield according to regulations will also lead to a deduction of 3 points. Below is relevant information about overtaking: Overview: Overtaking, known as "overtaking" in Cantonese, refers to the act of driving past a slower-moving vehicle on the road to move ahead of it. The lane used for overtaking is generally the inner lane, which is closer to the center of the road and farther from the shoulder. In right-hand traffic regions, the overtaking lane is the left lane; in left-hand traffic regions, the overtaking lane is the right lane. Timing for overtaking: When you notice that the vehicle ahead is significantly slowing down the flow of traffic in the lane due to its own reasons, and there is a safe adjacent lane available, you can consider overtaking.
I just checked the latest traffic regulations. On ordinary roads, overtaking improperly results in a 1-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. However, if you cross the solid line, overtake from the right side, or overtake recklessly in tunnels, bridges, or curved sections, it's an immediate 3-point deduction and a 500-yuan fine. Once, I was in a hurry to overtake a truck on a county road and crossed the yellow line—got caught on camera instantly. A painful lesson indeed.
