What are the penalties for temporary parking on the emergency lane?
2 Answers
Motor vehicles are not allowed to drive or park on the emergency lane on highways unless it's an emergency. Otherwise, a fine will be imposed, and 6 points will be deducted from the driver's license. If parking on the emergency lane is due to an emergency situation (such as car breakdown or sudden illness of the driver), no penalty will be imposed.
Dude, talking about this reminds me of that time I saw a car parked on the emergency lane on the highway, and then the traffic police came and straight up issued a ticket. In China, the emergency lane is strictly for emergencies, like ambulances or broken-down vehicles. If you park there temporarily, it's considered a violation. The fine is usually 200 yuan, and you might also get 6 points deducted from your driver's license. Even worse, if you cause traffic congestion or an accident, your car could be towed or you might face additional penalties. I always advise my friends not to stop there unless it's an emergency—there are so many rest areas along the road, why take the risk? If something happens, not only do you lose money, but you also delay others' emergency situations—it's really not worth it. The strict rules on the highway are there to keep everyone safe.
