What to Do If You Accidentally Change Lanes in a Tunnel?
1 Answers
Accidentally changing lanes in a tunnel will result in penalties, including a 3-point deduction and a fine of 150 yuan. Key precautions for driving in tunnels: 1. Do not use high beams: Most tunnels are equipped with lighting, and although the illumination may not be strong, low beams are sufficient. Using high beams is dangerous because tunnels are narrow, and oncoming vehicles may be temporarily blinded by the bright lights, increasing the risk of accidents. A single accident in such a confined space can lead to severe traffic congestion. 2. Be aware of light differences: When entering a tunnel, the surroundings darken, causing the pupils to contract to adapt to the dim environment. After prolonged driving in a tunnel, the exit may appear as a blinding white light, requiring a brief adjustment period. Stay calm and maintain normal driving during this time. 3. Do not speed: Tunnels typically have posted speed limits at their entrances. Even if there are no other vehicles, speeding is prohibited. Speed limits are set for safety reasons specific to tunnel conditions, and exceeding them can lead to unpredictable and serious consequences.
