How many points will be deducted for reversing on the ramp before entering the highway?
2 Answers
Reversing on the ramp before entering the highway generally results in an immediate deduction of 12 points, along with a fine. If an accident occurs on the highway, criminal liability may also be incurred. Here are some precautions for highway driving: Highway speed tips: On roads with speed limit signs, you must control your speed within the specified range to avoid being photographed for speeding; Comply with regulations: Once a vehicle enters the highway lane, strictly adhere to the principle of "lane division and each vehicle in its own lane" and the speed regulations. Choose the correct lane based on your speed, do not cross lines, do not drive on the dividing line, and do not occupy the emergency lane; Maintain distance: Highways are equipped with special markings to indicate the distance between vehicles. These can be used to measure the distance between your vehicle and the one in front. Under normal circumstances, the longitudinal distance on the highway should be slightly greater than the hourly speed value.
I remember a friend once told me he reversed on an expressway entrance ramp and got 12 points deducted from his license plus a 200-yuan fine. I immediately told him how dangerous that was—cars move fast on highways, and reversing could easily cause a rear-end collision. If a car came speeding from behind, the consequences would be unthinkable. He admitted he was in a hurry and missed the exit, wanting to reverse back, but traffic laws clearly prohibit reversing on highways and their entrance zones due to the high risk. Losing all 12 points means his license is suspended, requiring him to retake the theory test at a driving school, wasting both time and money. Now, I always turn on navigation early to confirm my route and avoid hesitation at exits. If I accidentally take a wrong turn, I’ll drive to the next safe exit to turn around—never risking a reverse. Safety first is the golden rule.
