Will changing a tire on the emergency lane of a highway result in penalty points?

Changing a tire on the emergency lane of a highway will not result in penalty points. However, the following points should be noted: Do not stop on the driving lane: Be sure to slowly move the car to the emergency lane, and never stop directly on the driving lane, or you will face severe penalties. The first thing to do after stopping is to turn on the hazard lights. If there are passengers in the car, remember to have them exit from the right-side door and retreat behind the safety barrier. Exiting from the left side could endanger both themselves and others. The driver alone should go 150 meters behind the car to place a warning triangle to alert approaching vehicles. Tools should not be placed randomly: When changing the spare tire, ensure that tools are not placed haphazardly, especially not on the driving lane. Carefully store the removed bolts to avoid affecting other vehicles, and remember to take away the replaced tire. By following these steps, changing a tire on the emergency lane will not result in penalty points.
