On December 27, 2021, the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China promulgated the Measures for the Administration of Scoring for Road Traffic Safety Violations (Decree No. 163 of the Ministry of Public Security), hereinafter referred to as the "2022 New Traffic Regulations", and announced that the new Measures for the Administration of Scoring will be officially implemented from April 1, 2022.
The biggest change in the 2022 new traffic rules is the adjustment of traffic violations/illegal deductions, which are basically adjusted and optimized on the basis of the original deductions, and it can be seen that the purpose of the new regulations is also to make the overall traffic rhythm more compact and efficient. Let's talk about the most common violations.
According to the traffic regulations currently in force, driving a motor vehicle on an open road exceeds 10% of the speed limit value, and 3 points are deducted. After the implementation of the 2022 new traffic regulations, the penalty threshold will be raised, and 20% of the speeding of high-speed expressways and urban roads will not be deducted points, and more detailed deduction standards can be seen in the following table.
It is worth saying that according to the current maximum speed limit on highways is 120km/h, after the implementation of the new regulations, drivers will not be deducted points as long as the speed does not exceed 144km/h on high speeds.
In addition, those who violate the prohibition signs and prohibited markings have been reduced from the original 3 points to 1 point, such as compaction lines, violations of the prohibition of left turn and other marking lines and forbidden driving. However, pay attention to the distinction, the violation here refers to the normal driving state, excluding the situation of retrograde or running a red light.
With the 2022 new traffic regulations for the relaxation of speeding behavior, this has a significant effect on the traffic efficiency of high-speed sections. Of course, everything has two sides, and the increase in the penalty threshold also means that more and more people "drive fast cars", and the faster the driving speed, the higher the requirements for driving technology, so under the premise of relevant laws and regulations, it is recommended that everyone drive according to their own driving skills as much as possible.
In this optimization, the most pleasing to the driver is the deduction of points further optimized, the score of a score is 12 points, 9 points, 6 points, 3 points, 1 point, the score is more targeted, at least it is not easy to deduct this precious 12 points in a year. For example, the deduction of points has also been reduced in cases such as not giving way to school buses, violating prohibition lines, not properly hanging number plates, and not wearing seat belts for co-pilots or rear passengers.
The failure to avoid school buses was directly reduced from the previous deduction of 6 points to 3 points; the violation of the prohibition sign was adjusted from 3 points to 1 point; and the number plate that was not installed according to the regulations was directly changed from 12 points to 3 points. In addition, the penalty score for failure to review vehicles and not wearing seat belts in accordance with the prescribed time has also been adjusted to 1 point.
The above-mentioned violation penalties reduce the cost of traffic violations for car owners and drivers, but for the mitigation of certain violation penalties, such as hit-and-run (less serious circumstances), failure to hang the number plate of the motor vehicle, intentional obstruction, and defacement of the number plate of the motor vehicle, there is no need to deduct 12 points, which to a certain extent makes the original illegal drivers more bold.
However, most of the details of the 2022 new traffic regulations are very reasonable, and they are improved and adjusted according to the actual traffic conditions at present, such as reversing on highways and urban expressways (new), retrograde, and making u-turns through the central divider belt, 12 points. If you park illegally on the highway or expressway, 9 points will be deducted.
In general, the 2022 new traffic regulations have kept pace with the times this time, and it has more reasonable and detailed adjustments to the deduction standards for traffic violations. At the same time, the traffic management department has also rectified the behavior of turtle speed driving that affects the efficiency of road traffic, providing a smoother and more comfortable road environment for more drivers. Finally, the majority of drivers and friends should remember that we must strictly abide by traffic laws, avoid speeding, and the implementation time of the latest traffic regulations.
