1 Answers
Driving a motor vehicle on the highway without following the designated lane has the violation code: 43120, with a penalty standard: 3-point deduction plus a fine. Driving a motor vehicle without following the designated lane usually refers to violations such as not staying in the correct lane, crossing or straddling lane lines. Below are precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Drive in the designated lane: Highways have clearly marked lanes, including dedicated lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, once you occupy a lane, return to your own lane promptly after completing the overtaking maneuver, and avoid occupying other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, the emergency lane should not be occupied for non-emergency reasons. 2. Maintain a safe speed and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known, as it can lead to irreversible consequences both on local roads and highways. 3. Maintain a safe following distance: Under normal conditions, when the road is dry and the brakes are functioning well, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80 km/h, the distance should be no less than 80 meters, and at 100 km/h, no less than 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside signs indicating following distances. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, the following distance should be doubled or more. 4. Observe traffic signs: Always be aware of roadside and overhead signs and markings while driving, and stay slightly to the right to avoid running over the right lane divider, providing sufficient lateral space for overtaking vehicles. 5. Do not arbitrarily occupy the emergency lane in case of accidents: Traffic accidents are inevitable on highways. If other vehicles cause a blockage in the driving lane, do not occupy the emergency lane without reason, as this may hinder rescue vehicles from performing their duties. 6. Avoid fatigued driving and take timely breaks: Fatigued driving is extremely dangerous on highways. When fatigued, the body's reaction time slows, making it difficult to respond correctly to sudden situations.
