What are the penalties and point deductions for fatigue driving of small vehicles?
1 Answers
For the act of excessively fatigued driving, the "Road Traffic Safety Law" authorizes provinces, cities, and autonomous regions to formulate penalties within certain fine ranges. For drivers of highway passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles who engage in excessively fatigued driving, the Ministry of Public Security uniformly stipulates a one-time deduction of 6 points. Other motor vehicle drivers committing this act will only face fines without point deductions. The specific penalties for fatigue driving are as follows: 1. Motor Vehicles: Article 62 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states: The following acts are prohibited while driving a motor vehicle: driving continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or resting for less than 20 minutes. 2. Medium-sized and above passenger vehicles and hazardous material transport vehicles: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," driving medium-sized and above passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or resting for less than 20 minutes will result in a one-time deduction of 12 points; driving other motor vehicles (excluding medium-sized and above passenger vehicles and hazardous material transport vehicles) continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or resting for less than 20 minutes will result in a one-time deduction of 6 points.
