Driving in the wrong direction on the highway results in a one-time deduction of 12 points and a fine. Penalties for driving in the wrong direction on the highway: According to the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations,' driving a motor vehicle without following overtaking or yielding regulations, or driving in the wrong direction, results in a deduction of 3 points; driving a motor vehicle on the highway while reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider results in a deduction of 12 points. Additionally, motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage may receive a warning or a fine. Precautions for driving on the highway: Maintaining a safe following distance is a prerequisite for ensuring the safety of both vehicles. Unless driving a large vehicle, it is advisable to stay as far away as possible from large vehicles when driving on the highway. Change lanes correctly. Avoid crossing multiple lanes at once, and always observe traffic conditions carefully before changing lanes, using turn signals and honking to alert other vehicles. The emergency lane is reserved for vehicles in need; unless under special circumstances, it should not be used.
