Generally, no points will be deducted if lane markings are invisible on snowy days. Relevant regulations: Traffic police departments have stated that exposure photos of unclear lane markings due to snow coverage on the road will not be used as evidence. Drivers need not worry, but they are advised to drive at low speeds and follow the instructions of traffic officers during snowy conditions. However, this does not mean drivers can disregard traffic laws and drive recklessly in the snow. Intentional traffic violations, such as illegal U-turns or driving in the wrong direction, will still be penalized according to relevant standards. Tips for driving in snowy conditions: Before heading out, check the vehicle's safety conditions to prevent breakdowns that could affect road traffic. The significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car on snowy days can cause fogging on the windows, leading to blurred vision. In such cases, promptly activate the window defogging function or turn on the air conditioning, or use a towel to wipe the windows dry to ensure clear driving visibility. Reduce speed and avoid sudden braking or acceleration. Increase the following distance between vehicles. On snowy days, the following distance should be 2-3 times greater than on dry roads. Drive straight as much as possible and avoid unnecessary lane changes. Generally, avoid overtaking. When driving on icy curves or slopes, reduce speed in advance and pass through smoothly.
