Will changing drivers in the emergency lane result in penalty points?
1 Answers
If caught on camera, it will be treated as a traffic violation, resulting in a fine and a deduction of 6 points. If not caught, there will be no penalty. Sudden illness: If someone in the vehicle suddenly falls ill, the emergency lane can be used. However, after using the emergency lane to reach the hospital, it is important to keep the hospital receipts. If later stopped for using the emergency lane, the receipts can be presented to the traffic police to explain the situation. Vehicle breakdown: If the vehicle suddenly breaks down, it is also permissible to enter the emergency lane. Once in the lane, the hazard warning lights should be turned on, and a warning triangle should be placed at least 150 meters behind the vehicle. (Improper operation, if caught on camera, may still result in fines and penalty points.)
