Will passenger vehicles be fined for not driving according to the prescribed route?

The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that passenger vehicles will be fined for not driving according to the prescribed route. Behaviors of not driving according to the prescribed route are as follows: Driving in other lanes, not driving or parking as required. The traffic management department of public security organs and their traffic police should promptly correct road traffic safety violations and impose penalties based on facts and relevant provisions of this law. Precautions for passenger vehicle driving: Pay attention to rest. Driving for too long or on roads with monotonous conditions can easily cause driver fatigue. Maintain a safe distance.
As a veteran bus driver with over a decade of experience, I'm telling you this situation will definitely result in penalties. Last time, our fleet's Xiao Li took a shortcut onto the highway to save trouble and got caught by traffic police - the company was fined 3,000 yuan directly, and he himself got lectured for half a day. Actually, the checks for route violations are extremely strict - the electronic waybill must match the operating permit, and there are random inspection points along the way. I advise passenger transport operators not to even consider this idea - not only will it cost you money, but damaging your credibility will make future route approvals more troublesome. Honestly sticking to the company's assigned route is much more worry-free. Although it might sometimes take a detour, it's safer and more secure.
My friend just took out a loan to buy a passenger minibus and got into trouble with it. To save 20 minutes by avoiding traffic on the navigation, he took a detour without authorization and ended up being reported and fined 800 yuan. This got me thinking for a long time: the management of commercial vehicles is really different from private cars. Every route approval needs to be filed with the transportation bureau. So, everyone should carefully check the transportation contract and the route map on the operating license when taking jobs. If caught once, it could mean a fine of hundreds of yuan and possibly points deducted. In our line of work, three violations could jeopardize the operating license. I recommend installing a navigation system with electronic filing functionality that alerts you when deviating from the route. Spending some money is more cost-effective than getting fined.
