What are the criteria for determining a vehicle driving in the wrong direction?
1 Answers
Driving in the wrong direction refers to motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles traveling on the left side, which is considered as driving in the wrong direction. In China, driving is based on the right-hand side, and the road centerline is used as the boundary. If a vehicle crosses the centerline and encroaches on the opposite lane, it is considered as driving in the wrong direction. Special roads (such as one-way streets, etc.) follow the indicated direction (forward). Below is additional information on vehicles driving in the wrong direction: 1. Driving in the wrong direction: This is a relatively serious subjective traffic violation in road traffic, which can cause traffic congestion and reduce road capacity in minor cases, and lead to major traffic accidents or even fatal consequences in severe cases. 2. The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: If a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules, they shall be given a warning or fined. If there are other provisions in this law, the punishment shall be in accordance with those provisions. Points deduction according to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123): (1) If a motor vehicle driver commits any of the following violations, they shall be penalized with 12 points: Driving a motor vehicle in reverse, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn by crossing the central divider on a highway. (2) If a motor vehicle driver commits any of the following violations, they shall be penalized with 3 points: Driving a motor vehicle to overtake or yield improperly, or driving in the wrong direction.
