Under what circumstances will illegal parking deduct 3 points?
4 Answers
Illegal parking that deducts 3 points includes: parking or temporarily stopping a vehicle at a location with no-parking signs or markings, which results in a 3-point deduction. There are two types of tickets issued for illegal parking: one is the urban management administrative illegal parking notice issued by city management, and the other is the illegal parking notice issued by traffic police. These must be dealt with within a specified time frame, as exceeding the 15-day deadline will incur late fees. Unjustified parking on highways or parking on emergency lanes under non-emergency situations will result in a 6-point deduction. Situations of illegal parking that do not deduct points include: 1. Parking in urban areas or failing to leave promptly, which only incurs a fine; 2. Illegal parking on the roadside directly results in a fine; 3. Occupying non-motorized vehicle lanes for illegal parking will also incur a fine.
I once encountered a situation where I accidentally parked illegally while driving and got points deducted. The most common penalty of 3 points for illegal parking is stopping on highways or urban expressways. These areas have fast-moving traffic, and parking is too dangerous, easily causing rear-end collisions. Additionally, parking near bus stops, obstructing buses from entering or exiting, may also result in a 3-point penalty. Last time, I was in a hurry and parked next to a bus stop, only to be caught by a camera, receiving a ticket and a 3-point deduction—I really regretted it. Parking on pedestrian crossings is also a big no-no, as it directly affects pedestrian safety. My friends all remind me to check signs before parking to avoid yellow zones or no-parking areas. In short, these violations are all related to driving safety, so it's best to develop good habits to avoid problems.
The key to illegal parking resulting in a 3-point deduction is violating parking rules in specific areas. For example, parking within an intersection can obstruct visibility and lead to collisions. My driving instructor mentioned that parking in fire lanes or near school entrances are common scenarios where the 3-point penalty is strictly enforced. Parking on bridges or in tunnels also falls under high-risk zones. I remember once being temporarily parked on an urban expressway when a traffic officer issued me a penalty, which made me plan parking spots in advance ever since. Don't assume temporary stops are harmless—safety comes first. Avoiding these mistakes can save you a lot of trouble.
A 3-point penalty for illegal parking usually occurs when parking in prohibited areas. Stopping on highways or urban expressways is dangerous and can easily lead to accidents, resulting in a 3-point deduction. Parking near bus stops may also incur penalties as it obstructs buses. Parking on pedestrian crossings affects pedestrian safety and will similarly be fined. Checking signs carefully before parking is crucial.
