What are the penalties for driving in the wrong direction on highways under the 2021 regulations?

[Edith]

Driving in the wrong direction on highways will result in a fine, 12 demerit points, and possible suspension of the driver's license. According to Article 1 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations,' any of the following violations by motor vehicle drivers will result in 12 demerit points: reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider on highways. Below are several situations considered as driving in the wrong direction: 1. Roads with solid lines: On roads with solid dividing lines (double solid lines or single solid lines), crossing the line under any circumstances is prohibited. If a motor vehicle enters the opposite lane, it is considered driving in the wrong direction. 2. Roads with dashed lines: On roads with dashed dividing lines, overtaking by borrowing the opposite lane is allowed if it is safe. However, if an accident occurs, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be deemed to have been driving in the wrong direction. 3. One-way signs: On roads marked with one-way signs, any motor vehicle entering is considered to be driving in the wrong direction.
