Will reversing at a highway ETC lane result in penalty points?
1 Answers
Reversing at a highway ETC lane will not result in penalty points. Speeding: Highways are roads designed for safe travel to destinations, not racetracks for speeding. The speed limit on highways is 120 km/h, and exceeding this limit significantly increases the risk factor. Fatigued Driving: Driving fatigue refers to the phenomenon where a driver experiences physiological and psychological dysfunction after prolonged continuous driving, leading to a decline in driving skills. Lack of Concentration: Activities such as making phone calls while driving, reaching for items inside the car, playing with passengers, smoking, or any other actions that distract the driver. Driving inherently requires high levels of concentration, and a lack of focus can lead to delayed reactions or poor judgment, potentially resulting in severe traffic accidents. Failure to Place a Warning Triangle on the Highway: Many drivers, when needing to stop on the highway due to an incident or after an accident, fail to place a warning triangle. They might only turn on hazard lights or place the triangle just two steps away from the vehicle. On highways, such behaviors seem perfunctory and lack safety awareness, ultimately increasing the risk of secondary accidents. Encroaching on the Highway Emergency Lane: The emergency lane is specifically reserved for vehicles handling emergencies, such as engineering rescue, firefighting, medical aid, or police officers performing urgent duties.
