1 Answers
When driving in the wrong direction during vehicle operation, 12 points will be deducted at once and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. If driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street, 3 points will be deducted and a fine will be imposed. Handling measures for driving in the wrong direction on highways: If you find yourself accidentally driving in the wrong direction on a highway, you should immediately pull over to the emergency lane while ensuring traffic safety, turn on the hazard lights, move to a safe area outside the guardrail, place a warning triangle 100 meters in front of the vehicle, contact the traffic police, wait for their arrival, and cooperate fully with the handling process. How to handle the violation of driving in the wrong direction on highways: Generally, driving in the wrong direction on a highway will result in a 12-point deduction. If a driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, they must report to the traffic management department at the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred to undergo a 7-day training on road traffic safety laws and related knowledge. Afterward, they must retake the subject one exam. Only upon passing the exam will the points be cleared.
