Why must motor vehicles adhere to the principle of right-hand traffic?
1 Answers
Because it is explicitly stipulated in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." "Right-hand traffic" means that when motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles are driving on the road, if there is a centerline marked on the road, the centerline serves as the boundary; if there is no centerline, the geometric center serves as the boundary, determining left and right based on the direction faced—that is, the left side of the road is the left-hand lane, and the right side is the right-hand lane. Except for vehicles with special regulations, all must drive on the right-hand side of the road. Below are common traffic violations: 1. Running a red light: This is the most common violation. Since the new traffic regulations were introduced, running a red light results in a 6-point deduction. 2. Driving without a license: If a driver continues to drive while their license is suspended, they will be fined and detained for 15 days. Driving without a license or with a revoked license will result in 15 days of detention and a fine. 3. Overloading or overcrowding: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the rated load by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. For passenger vehicles exceeding 20% or freight vehicles exceeding 30%, a fine will be imposed. 4. Drunk driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol will result in a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. Driving a commercial vehicle under the influence will also result in a 3-month suspension and a fine. 5. Speeding: If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by 50%, the driver will be fined and have their license revoked.
