What are the penalty standards for oncoming vehicle encounters?
1 Answers
Introduction to the rules for oncoming vehicle encounters in Subject 3: 1. When encountering an oncoming vehicle on a road without central isolation facilities or a centerline, failure to slow down and drive on the right side, or failure to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, pedestrians, or non-motorized vehicles will result in a 100-point deduction; 2. Failure to yield when encountering difficulties in passing will result in a 100-point deduction; 3. Poor judgment of lateral safety distance, leading to emergency steering to avoid the oncoming vehicle, will result in a 100-point deduction. Before encountering an oncoming vehicle, you should follow the 'look, calculate, and slow down' principle: 1. 'Look' means to observe carefully. The observation should include: the type, speed, and load of the oncoming vehicle; the width and condition of the road; pedestrians, vehicles, and obstacles on the roadside; whether there are any oncoming vehicles ahead or vehicles behind trying to overtake. 2. 'Calculate' means to estimate the approximate meeting point by observing the distance and speed of both vehicles, and to choose a suitable meeting point by controlling your own speed. Suitable meeting points should be: a. where the road is wider; if the road width is limited, choose a wider area where both vehicles can ensure safety; b. where there are no obstacles on the right front of both vehicles. 3. 'Slow down' means to reduce speed. If conditions are poor when approaching the meeting point, you should further reduce speed and avoid reckless passing. If necessary, stop first to ensure a smooth encounter between the two vehicles.
