Is it allowed to drive in the wrong direction on a service road?
1 Answers
Driving in the wrong direction on a service road is not allowed. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", vehicles must drive on the right side of the road. Driving in the wrong direction will result in a fine and a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license. On roads with solid dividing lines, vehicles are prohibited from entering the opposite lane. Specifically, roads with double solid lines or single solid lines as dividing lines must not be crossed under any circumstances. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: When turning or changing lanes, always use the turn signals and slow down. Before turning, always check the rearview mirrors. For left turns, primarily check the left rearview mirror; for right turns, primarily check the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, also check the interior rearview mirror. 2. Do not focus solely on the area directly in front of the vehicle: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead at a distance of about 100 meters, avoiding fixation on the immediate area in front of the vehicle. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there is no need to depress the clutch immediately. Wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before depressing the clutch. 4. Steering: When turning at high speeds, steer slowly; when turning at low speeds, steer quickly.
