What are the types of violations that deduct 4 points?
2 Answers
Traffic regulations do not have violations that deduct 4 points. Violation point deductions are divided into five types: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. The point deduction for each violation is categorized into five levels—12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point—based on the severity of the violation. Additional information about violation point deductions is as follows: 1. Definition: Traffic violation point deduction refers to the deduction of points when a driver fails to comply with traffic rules while driving, resulting in corresponding traffic violations. 2. How soon can traffic violations be recorded: It usually takes 3 to 7 days for a traffic violation to appear in the system after it occurs, as the traffic police need to input and verify the information. The latest it will appear is within 13 working days.
I've studied traffic regulations quite a bit, and there are several common situations that result in 4-point violations. One is speeding, exceeding the speed limit by 20% but less than 50% on regular roads—for example, driving over 70 in a 60 km/h zone, which significantly increases accident risks. The second is using emergency lanes, especially on highways or during traffic jams, where some drivers try to cut through, delaying rescue efforts and commuting efficiency. The third is violating prohibition signs, such as making a forced left turn at a no-left-turn intersection, which can cause confusion. The fourth is failing to properly install or deliberately obscuring license plates to evade tracking, which is unacceptable. These are all moderately serious violations, and accumulating too many points can affect driving privileges. Therefore, I recommend drivers develop good habits like following navigation prompts and paying attention to road signs—safe driving is what matters most.
