Drivers who make an immediate U-turn after driving in the wrong direction on the highway will have 12 points deducted and will also be fined. If you realize you've missed an exit while driving, it is recommended not to drive in the wrong direction. Instead, continue driving to the nearest exit or service area. Near the exit toll booth, there is usually a designated U-turn exit for drivers who have taken the wrong route. You can return to the highway from there and find the appropriate lane using the signage. If you see a service area, look for the connecting tunnel in the middle. Driving through the connecting tunnel will allow you to enter the opposite service area. This can save you from paying extra highway tolls, as vehicles within the highway's internal circulation area are not charged for round trips. Other traffic violations on the highway include: Speeding, driving in the emergency lane, prolonged stopping on the guide line, and covering the license plate number.
Driving the wrong way and making U-turns on highways is absolutely unacceptable! With over 20 years of driving experience, I've witnessed numerous bloody lessons. Such actions are immediately captured by surveillance cameras, resulting in a 12-point deduction at once. Last year, a buddy of mine did exactly that—his license was revoked on the spot, and he was fined 2000 yuan. On highways, vehicles are speeding at over 100 km/h; if you make a U-turn, oncoming cars won't have time to react, leading to a 100% chance of a severe accident. I once saw a news report about a young man who crashed into a fuel tanker while attempting a U-turn, causing a five-hour traffic jam on the entire highway. Honestly, if you miss an exit, just calmly drive to the next one and loop back—it might take an extra half hour at most, but that's far better than risking your life. Experienced drivers all know that any sudden situation on the highway requires avoiding sharp turns—this is wisdom earned with lives.
Listen up buddy, don't even think about making a U-turn on the highway! Even as a long-haul trucker, I know those highway cameras capture everything crystal clear nowadays. The monitoring center can pinpoint your vehicle in minutes. It's an instant 12-point deduction and a fine starting at 2000 yuan. Last week, our fleet's Xiao Wang tried this stunt and got his penalty notice three days later - straight back to traffic school for theory retraining. The real danger is when you turn around, those heavy trucks behind you can't stop in time. Remember that five-car pileup on TV last week? That's exactly how it happened. Once when I missed an exit with a truckload, I drove an extra 40km to circle back safely. Takes time but keeps you alive. Highway driving leaves zero room for recklessness - when accidents happen, regrets come too late.
