How many points will be deducted for not driving or parking as required?

Driving in the wrong lane will result in a deduction of 3 points and corresponding fines. There are two specific situations for not parking as required: 1. Situation one: For the illegal act of temporarily parking in a way that affects the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians (i.e., when there is a driver in the car), a fine may be imposed, or a warning may be given (fines are imposed if caught by electronic monitoring). 2. Situation two: For the illegal act of parking in a way that affects the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians (i.e., when there is no driver in the car), corresponding fines will be imposed, and points may be deducted depending on the specific circumstances.
Shortly after I started driving, I encountered a situation where I parked improperly. I remember it was on a no-parking street in the city center. I was in a hurry to run an errand and parked temporarily for 5 minutes, only to come back and find a ticket stating a 1-point deduction and a 100-yuan fine. That experience taught me a lesson, and since then, I always check parking spots in advance or use mobile apps to find legal parking spaces. Actually, according to traffic regulations, the penalty points for improper driving or parking depend on the severity: general illegal parking usually deducts 1 point, with fines ranging from 50 to 200 yuan; but driving outside the designated lane or crossing solid lines for lane changes will cost 3 points; running a red light is even more severe, deducting 6 points and possibly incurring hefty fines. Accumulating 12 points means you’ll have to retake the test to get your license back. These rules aim to improve road safety, so I advise new drivers to pay extra attention to road signs, markings, and real-time traffic alerts to avoid trouble caused by momentary carelessness. After all, reducing violations protects both yourself and others. Over time, I’ve developed a habit of checking my surroundings to avoid repeating mistakes.
