Is driving against traffic on regular roads penalized with 6 or 12 points?

[HannahAnn]

Driving against traffic on regular roads results in a 3-point deduction and a fine. On highways, it leads to a 12-point deduction. If the reverse driving or crossing the line causes severe circumstances, the driver's license may be revoked. Point deduction standards for driving against traffic: According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations," driving a motor vehicle without following overtaking or yielding rules, or driving against traffic, results in a 3-point deduction; driving a motor vehicle on a highway in reverse, against traffic, or making a U-turn across the central divider results in a 12-point deduction. Additionally, motor vehicle drivers violating road traffic laws and regulations regarding road usage will be warned or fined. Scenarios of driving against traffic: On roads with solid dividing lines (double solid lines or single solid lines), crossing the line under any circumstances is prohibited. If a motor vehicle enters the opposite lane, it is considered driving against traffic; on roads with dashed dividing lines, overtaking by borrowing the opposite lane is allowed if safe, but in case of an accident, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be deemed as driving against traffic; on roads with one-way signs, any motor vehicle entering is considered driving against traffic. Hazards of driving against traffic: Driving against traffic is a severe subjective violation in road traffic, causing traffic congestion and reducing road capacity.

I've been driving for over ten years and have encountered many dangerous situations with drivers going the wrong way—it's terrifying! On regular roads, driving against traffic is definitely a 6-point deduction and a fine of around 200 yuan. On highways, it's even harsher—going the wrong way directly results in a 12-point deduction. Once, I witnessed a new driver taking a shortcut by going the wrong way and nearly colliding with an oncoming car, even scraping the side of the vehicle. Remember, no matter how urgent it is, don’t go the wrong way—it’s like playing with your life. Points deductions also affect your license, and accumulating too many can mean retaking the test, which is a hassle. When driving in the city, get into the habit of checking road signs; it’s better to take a longer route than to save a few minutes. Safety comes first—cars can be repaired, but accidents involving people can be irreversible. Drive steadily—anything can happen on the road, so staying safe is the priority.

I have two kids in school, and every time I see news about wrong-way driving, it breaks my heart. Driving the wrong way on a regular road definitely results in a 6-point penalty—no small matter. The police are strict, and if caught on camera, you'll be fined. Wrong-way driving on the highway is even scarier, with a 12-point penalty that could revoke your license. The risks are huge; a moment's lapse could lead to a crash, harming yourself and others. I always teach my kids to drive responsibly and not rush. When road signs are unclear, take an extra look to avoid accidentally taking the wrong lane. Remember, 6 points aren't deducted lightly—just think, one wrong-way drive could ruin a whole family. Driving is about habits; cultivating safety awareness step by step is the right path.

When I first got my driver's license, my instructor repeatedly reminded me: driving against traffic on regular roads will cost you 6 points. Doing it on highways is even worse – 12 points minimum. I once drove on a rural road and almost went the wrong way after missing a turn, but luckily I braked in time. Losing too many points means retaking the driving test, which is a huge hassle. Don't try to take shortcuts by going the wrong way – safety is the real money-saver.

Commuting by car every day, I always feel tempted to take a shortcut when stuck in traffic. However, driving against traffic on regular roads costs 6 points, which isn't worth it. Once, a friend of mine drove the wrong way in the city to save time, only to be caught on camera and receive a ticket, leaving him full of regret. Recklessly driving against traffic on highways costs a terrifying 12 points. Waiting a few extra seconds is always better than losing points. Developing good habits ensures you can keep driving longer.

A traffic police friend mentioned that driving against traffic on regular roads results in a 6-point deduction, while doing so on highways leads to a 12-point penalty. The strict regulations are for safety, as driving the wrong way is highly prone to causing accidents. Always check your route before driving and slow down in unfamiliar areas. A 6-point deduction is no joke, and once the ticket is issued, it's hard to revoke. Stick to this rule, and everyone stays safe.
