Will driving against traffic be captured by electronic surveillance?
2 Answers
Making an accidental left turn into the wrong-way lane may be captured by electronic surveillance. If caught, corresponding administrative penalties will be imposed. Below are the demerit point standards for wrong-way driving: 1. Motor vehicle drivers committing any of the following violations will receive 12 demerit points: driving a motor vehicle in reverse, against traffic, or making a U-turn across the central divider on highways. 2. Motor vehicle drivers committing any of the following violations will receive 3 demerit points: overtaking or yielding improperly, or driving against traffic. 3. Penalties for wrong-way driving as stipulated in Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: motor vehicle drivers violating road traffic regulations will be warned or fined between 20 and 200 yuan.
Oh, I must remind you that driving against traffic will definitely be caught by electronic surveillance! This is no joke. The electronic surveillance system is installed at intersections and highway sections with high-definition cameras and radar for real-time monitoring. As soon as a vehicle drives in the opposite direction, the system immediately recognizes it and snaps photos or videos. I've personally seen someone trying to take a shortcut by driving against traffic and getting caught, with the ticket sent straight to their home. Not only is there a fine, but also serious demerit points—some places deduct six points at once, and you might even have your license suspended. So, when driving, always follow the rules, avoid roads with opposing traffic, and use navigation to check the route in advance to avoid trouble. Safety comes first, more important than anything else—if an accident happens, it could ruin both others and yourself.
