What are the penalties for driving on the emergency lane on the highway?
1 Answers
Driving on the emergency lane on the highway will result in a fine and a deduction of 6 points. The emergency lane is a special lane on the highway, only allowed for vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances when performing emergency tasks. When there is no emergency, social vehicles illegally occupying the emergency lane, whether parked or moving, are considered illegal. If there are other violations, the penalties will be cumulative. If the vehicle cannot move due to a breakdown and stops on the lane, the hazard warning lights must be turned on, and a warning sign should 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 turned on. Other occupants should quickly evacuate the emergency lane and promptly call the highway emergency assistance number.
