2 Answers
Overtaking by borrowing the lane or occupying the opposite lane will result in a deduction of 2 points. Relevant content about car driving is as follows: Car driving skills: Check the rearview mirror when braking, judge the following distance based on the speed of the car in front and the starting time; drive quickly and steadily, adjust your mindset, and maintain a good attitude to drive safely and steadily; learn to use the horn, turn signals, and communicate with vehicles in front and behind. Precautions for car driving: Remember to fasten your seat belt when driving on the road, pay attention to maintaining the distance between vehicles, and strictly prohibit answering phone calls while driving; the stronger the high beam at night, the less safe the driving is, the larger the angle of the light, the safer it is, and the higher and brighter the light, the more dangerous it is; after parking on uneven ground, pull the handbrake and put it in gear; if there are two lanes for one-way driving, driving on the dotted line is the most unsafe.
Once my friend was caught for overtaking by borrowing the opposite lane, and upon checking later, I realized this could be a big or small issue. Normally, occupying the opposite lane when caught results in a 3-point deduction. However, if it happens to be on dangerous sections like curves or hilltops, it directly leads to a 6-point deduction. A fine of 200 yuan is unavoidable, and in some cities, changing lanes over solid lines can incur an additional 100 yuan penalty. The most frustrating scenario is when the surveillance fails to capture the complete violation process, making dashcam evidence crucial during appeals. By the way, overtaking by crossing double yellow lines is almost always caught, so never take shortcuts by crossing lines when driving at night.
