Recently, some car owner friends came to ask about the problem of vehicles driving in the reverse direction. So let’s give a detailed explanation about the problem of vehicles driving in the reverse direction.
Retrograde traffic means that a vehicle is traveling in the opposite direction to the specified direction. To put it figuratively, it is like water flowing backwards, which goes against common sense. Therefore, driving in the opposite direction violates the common sense of traffic rules, will bring huge safety hazards to traffic safety, and can easily cause traffic accidents.
So does using the opposite lane to overtake count as going against the grain?
The answer is definitely retrograde, but it needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis:
If there is a solid yellow line on the road, the driver of the motor vehicle needs to abide by the road traffic rules and cannot cross the line, borrow the lane or overtake;
If there is a yellow dotted line on the road, the driver of the motor vehicle must If there is no car coming from the opposite direction, you can cross the line and turn or make a U-turn;
If the road is marked with a solid white line, the driver of the vehicle must abide by the road traffic rules and cannot cross the line or make a U-turn;
If the road is marked with a white dotted line, the driver of the vehicle can cross the line while ensuring road safety, but cannot make a U-turn.
According to Article 45 of the " China Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", when a motor vehicle encounters a vehicle in front that is parked and waiting in line or is driving slowly, it is not allowed to use the lane to overtake or occupy the opposite lane, and it is not allowed to cross the waiting vehicle.
How should the person responsible be responsible if it is due to retrograde?
1. If a road traffic accident is caused by driving in the wrong direction, you will be fully responsible;
2. If a traffic accident occurs because of the fault of two parties, they will bear primary responsibility, equal responsibility, or secondary responsibility according to the severity of their faults;
3. If neither party caused the road traffic accident, neither party will be held responsible.
