2 Answers
Driving on highways without following regulations will result in a deduction of 3 points and corresponding fines. Driving a motor vehicle without following the designated lane, usually refers to not driving in the correct lane, crossing or straddling lane lines. There are three types of violations: 1. On highways: Driving a motor vehicle on highways without following the designated lane, violation code: 43120, penalty standard: 3 points deducted and corresponding fines. 2. On expressways: Driving a motor vehicle on urban expressways without following the designated lane, violation code: 13550, penalty standard: 3 points deducted and corresponding fines. 3. On roads other than highways: Driving a motor vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways without following the designated lane, violation code: 60230, penalty standard: no points deducted but corresponding fines.
I have over ten years of driving experience, and it's really important to pay attention to point deductions for highway violations. Common violations include speeding: exceeding the speed limit by 10% to 20% results in 3 points deducted, 20% to 50% leads to 6 points, and over 50% means an immediate 12-point deduction. Last month, I was in a hurry and exceeded the speed limit by 30%, which cost me 6 points and an 800-yuan fine. Another violation is not driving in the designated lane, such as occupying the overtaking lane for too long without moving, which deducts 3 points. There are also illegal parking or driving in the wrong direction, which usually results in a 12-point deduction. Accumulating 12 points means you have to retake the written test (Subject One), which is particularly troublesome. On the highway, speeds are high, and even minor violations can easily lead to accidents. I recommend staying focused on road signs while driving and avoiding the urge to speed—getting home safely is what really matters. Remembering the rules not only helps avoid fines but also protects yourself and others.
