Will points be deducted for reversing in the motor vehicle lane?

Reversing in the motor vehicle lane will result in a deduction of 3 points. Regulations regarding point deduction: According to Article 70 of the "Decision of the Ministry of Public Security on Amending the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses'", drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority for verification within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there is no record of point deduction during a scoring cycle, the verification for that cycle will be exempted. Point deduction processing procedure: Prepare your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate and go to the local traffic police station. Then, bring the documents to the traffic violation processing window at the traffic police station for service processing. Next, request the staff to check your driving license points and details of vehicle violations (number of times, points, and fines). Pay special attention to whether your driving license points are sufficient to handle the vehicle violations. Do not exhaust all 12 points, otherwise you will have to retake the test. Additionally, some licenses above Class C may require rule training after point deductions. After the staff has processed the violations, request them to print out all traffic violation payment slips for the vehicle in triplicate. Sign and confirm them yourself, and write "No objection" below the signature line. Keep two copies—one as a stub and one for bank payment. Finally, take the traffic violation payment slips to the designated bank to pay the fines according to the amount specified on the slips. (Note: Be sure to pay the fines within the specified date; otherwise, not only will there be late fees, but the traffic police system will also confirm that you have not completed the traffic violation processing.)

Reversing on the motorway does incur penalty points. According to traffic regulations, this violation typically results in a 3-point deduction and a fine of around 200 yuan. Last year, I personally encountered a similar situation when I missed an exit and attempted to reverse for a U-turn, only to be caught on camera, resulting in an immediate 3-point deduction from my license—definitely not worth it. This maneuver poses significant risks on the road, especially in heavy urban traffic, where it can easily lead to rear-end collisions or accidents. Personally, I believe safety should always come first. To avoid such mistakes, I make it a habit to use navigation in advance or drive a bit further to find a safe spot for a U-turn. With only 12 points on a driver's license, a single 3-point deduction can quickly accumulate, limiting driving freedom. Regularly checking blind spots while driving can also help prevent accidental violations.
