Occupying the overtaking lane for a long time is considered as driving not in accordance with the prescribed lane, and the penalty is a deduction of 3 points and a fine. On highways, occupying the overtaking lane for a long time and not allowing vehicles behind to overtake is an uncivilized and unethical behavior, and traffic police will impose penalties according to the law. The overtaking lane is located on the leftmost lane of the highway. It is only set up when the road meets the standards of a six-lane highway in both directions. The overtaking lane is provided for vehicles that need to overtake or meet the speed requirements. However, some drivers occupy the overtaking lane for a long time, forcing other vehicles to overtake from the slower lanes. Highways should clearly mark the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed should not be lower than 60 kilometers per hour. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger cars should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour.
