Driving a motor vehicle on the emergency lane of the highway will result in a deduction of 6 points and a fine. Here is additional information: Relevant regulations: Article 82 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that motor vehicles driving on the highway must not engage in the following behaviors: reversing, driving in the opposite direction, making U-turns by crossing the central divider, stopping in the lane, overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes, straddling or riding on the lane demarcation line, driving on the shoulder, driving or parking on the emergency lane under non-emergency circumstances, or testing or learning to drive a motor vehicle. Warnings and fines: Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" also stipulates that motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules will be given a warning or fined. If there are other provisions in this law, penalties will be imposed in accordance with those provisions.
I've been driving for over a decade, and it always makes me anxious when I see people occupying the emergency lane on the highway. Last time on the G4 Expressway, there was a traffic jam ahead, and many drivers tried to cut through the emergency lane for speed, only to be caught by traffic police—resulting in 6 points deducted and a 200-yuan fine. Losing those points really isn't worth it—half of the 12-point license gone, and retaking the test is a hassle. The emergency lane is designed for rescue vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances to save lives. Occupying it blocks others' lifelines and could cost lives in an emergency. My advice? No matter how long the traffic jam lasts, stay patient in the main lane—putting safety first is the real skill. Keep this in mind: more responsibility while driving means less risk.
I have deep feelings about occupying the emergency lane on highways. Back when I was just learning to drive, a friend got caught by a camera for using the emergency lane, resulting in 6 points deducted and a 200 yuan fine—almost lost his license. The emergency lane isn't just any lane; it's reserved for tow trucks or ambulances. Occupying it slows down rescue efforts, and when something serious happens, regret won't help. Driving on highways requires following the rules—don't gamble with those few minutes. Once, I was stuck in traffic for an hour and waited it out, feeling totally at ease. Points and fines are minor, but life safety outweighs everything. Developing good habits and not swerving around is what really matters.
