Will reversing at an intersection result in penalty points?

Reversing at an intersection will result in penalty points. Below is an introduction to relevant content about traffic violations: Definition: Traffic violations refer to acts where the obligated party violates national traffic regulations and traffic management systems. Main content of traffic violations: Failure to complete vehicle registration and use registration certificates as required; failure to complete vehicle inspection as required; failure to submit required declarations as required; failure to establish, use, and maintain accounts and certificates as required; failure to provide required information as required; refusal to accept supervision and inspection by traffic authorities. Below is extended information about penalty points for speeding: Within 10%: Speeding within 10% of the limit on highways results in a warning. Above 10%: Speeding more than 10% but less than 20% above the limit results in 3 penalty points.
I once made a similar mistake while driving. When I tried to reverse at an intersection to adjust my position, I was caught by a camera and later fined 150 yuan with 2 penalty points deducted. It was a profound lesson: intersections have dense traffic and many pedestrians, making reversing highly risky and prone to rear-end or side collisions. The rules are clear—the Road Traffic Safety Law prohibits reversing at intersections. Violations typically result in 2 penalty points and a fine of 100-200 yuan. Now, I always remind myself that it’s better to drive a bit farther and find a safe place to turn around rather than risk reversing at an intersection. After all, safety comes first, and it’s more important than penalty points.
As an experienced driver, I'm well aware of the traffic rule details: reversing at an intersection is considered a violation. According to China's "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," this behavior will result in 2 penalty points and a fine. It disrupts traffic flow and increases the probability of accidents, especially during peak hours. Novice drivers should pay particular attention and avoid reckless reversing due to nervousness; if lane adjustment is truly necessary, prior observation and avoiding intersections are key. Deducting points is only a minor part of the penalty, but accumulating 12 points will require retaking the driving test, which has significant consequences. I recommend everyone drive steadily and prioritize safety.
