What are the penalties for driving on the emergency lane of a highway?
1 Answers
The penalties for occupying the emergency lane on a highway can be divided into three categories: 1. Driving in the emergency lane under non-emergency circumstances results in a fine of 200 RMB and a deduction of 6 points. 2. If encountering issues such as vehicle breakdown that cannot be resolved, parking in the emergency stopping area is allowed. In such cases, the hazard warning lights must be turned on, and a warning sign must be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle. During nighttime, rain, fog, or other adverse weather conditions, the side marker lights, tail lights, and rear fog lights should also be activated. No penalty is imposed in this scenario. 3. If encountering issues such as vehicle breakdown that cannot be resolved, parking in the emergency stopping area without immediately turning on the hazard warning lights and moving the faulty vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic; or failing to use the lights and set up warning signs as required when the vehicle is difficult to move after a breakdown or accident, the driver will be fined 200 RMB.
