According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," driving a motor vehicle without following the regulations for overtaking, yielding, or driving in the opposite direction will result in a deduction of 3 points. Motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage will be subject to a warning or corresponding fines.

I've been driving for over 20 years, and reversing on expressways is absolutely unacceptable. The penalties are severe—not only a fine of over 200 yuan, but also 12 demerit points, which could lead to license suspension and require retaking the test. Just imagine how much that would disrupt your driving life. The risks are even greater, with speeds exceeding 100 km/h. If you reverse and get rear-ended, at best, it could damage the car and injure people; at worst, it could be fatal. I once heard from a neighbor about a friend who was fined and injured due to reversing, ending up hospitalized with huge medical bills. My advice: if you miss an exit, just take the next one and make a U-turn. Don’t risk major trouble to save a little time—safety is more important than anything else.

When I first got my driver's license, my instructor repeatedly emphasized never reversing on expressways. The penalties are severe: usually a fine of 200 yuan, 12 demerit points, and having your license suspended would be disastrous. A novice friend of mine accidentally missed an exit last year and tried to reverse, resulting in a fine and nearly losing all his points—totally not worth it. This practice is extremely dangerous; with high-speed traffic and numerous vehicles on expressways, reversing can easily cause rear-end collisions, and you'd bear full responsibility. Since then, we always set up navigation in advance to ensure we don't miss exits—safety first for peace of mind.

The penalty for reversing on expressways is severe: a fine of 200 yuan and 12 demerit points. This behavior is highly dangerous. When vehicles are moving at high speeds, reversing can cause following vehicles to fail to avoid in time, posing an extremely high risk of collision. After accumulating 12 demerit points, the process of retaking the driving test is time-consuming and laborious. Follow the rules when driving: if you miss an exit, continue straight to the next one and then turn back. I've seen news reports of accidents caused by reversing, leading to chain collisions—a profound lesson. Safe driving is paramount.

Can You Drive on the Highway on Rainy Days?

You can drive on the highway on rainy days, as highways are generally not closed due to rain. Only in cases of heavy fog or snow will highways be closed. Below are some precautions for driving on the highway in rainy weather: 1. Ensure Clear Visibility: Before starting the car, the driver should ensure good visibility. The side mirrors can easily get wet and blur the driver's vision, so they must be wiped dry to clearly observe the movement of vehicles behind and react quickly. 2. Check Braking Performance: Before driving, promptly test the vehicle's braking system to prevent accidents caused by brake failure due to water ingress. 3. Avoid Sudden Braking on Puddles: Reduce speed when passing through puddles to prevent splashing water from obscuring the windshield. Do not slam on the brakes to avoid puddles on the highway, and maintain the vehicle's direction of travel without significant changes. 4. Inspect Electrical Circuits to Prevent Breakdown: Before setting off in rainy weather, check the vehicle's electrical circuits and address any exposed wires to prevent short circuits during high-speed driving and avoid breaking down on the highway.

Can I Claim Insurance for a Broken Car Windshield?

You can call the insurance company to file a claim. Here is some relevant information about car insurance: 1. When choosing vehicle insurance coverage: It is recommended to opt for two main types of coverage. The first is vehicle damage insurance, and the second is third-party liability insurance. These two types of coverage are the basic guarantees for compensating the losses of both the driver and the vehicle after an accident. Additionally, there are two supplementary coverages that are highly recommended. One is theft insurance, and the other is non-deductible insurance. Theft insurance ensures that if the vehicle is stolen or hijacked, the owner's losses will be compensated. Currently, insurance companies have a deductible rate in their policies. For instance, if the owner is fully responsible for an accident, the insurance company will deduct 20%; for major responsibility, it's 15%; for equal responsibility, 10%; and for minor responsibility, 5%. To minimize personal financial liability, it is advisable for the owner to spend an additional 100+ yuan to purchase non-deductible insurance. This way, regardless of the level of responsibility in an accident, the insurance company will cover the full claim. 2. Insurance terms are a crucial part of the insurance contract: When signing the contract, the owner must request and carefully review their rights and obligations from the agent to ensure a basis for claims. Insurance companies may modify terms periodically, and if the owner is unaware of the original terms, they might face disadvantages during claims. 3. For any unclear terms, request the insurance company to provide a clear explanation: Ensure the explanation is documented as an attachment to the contract. If the agent only provides a product brochure before signing and does not present the insurance contract, premium rates, or other relevant materials, the consumer should refuse to purchase.

What is the best way to deal with overspray on cars?

The best methods for handling car overspray are as follows: 1. For overspray that has not completely dried: You can remove it using detailing clay. First, rinse the overspray on the car body with water or car wash soap, then gently rub the affected area with a detailing clay soaked in warm water while spraying water. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid scratching the paint with tiny particles. 2. For overspray that has completely dried: First, clean any sand or dirt from the paint surface, then use 2000-grit polishing sandpaper to sand off the overspray. Of course, while sanding, try to control the pressure appropriately, adjusting the force as you observe the overspray to avoid damaging the original paint. After removing the overspray, polishing is necessary to restore the original gloss of the paint. If conditions permit, a full car paint maintenance can also be performed.
