[Beginners on the road] P card attention! Add P trap you need to know!

2022-10-07

In Hong Kong, the probationary driving period is the first year after the rider obtains the motorcycle license plate, which is commonly known as the P license plate. In addition to the general traffic regulations, there are special rules that need to be followed. Otherwise, the probationary driving period may be extended, or even Need to nail the card to retake the exam. We have integrated some common traps for adding P. New card riders must drive carefully while enjoying the fun of driving, so as not to cry when they are added P or nailed.

The more speeding, the finer the gold, and the P will be added for speeding 15 kilometers

The easiest trap to "catch" is speeding. The penalty points for speeding are graded. If you exceed the speed limit of 15 kilometers per hour, you will be fined 320 yuan, and you will not be scored. A fine of 600 yuan and 5 points for 45 kilometers; a fine of 1,000 yuan for exceeding 45 kilometers and 10 points, and the license will be suspended for at least 6 months. If a P card rider is scored during the probationary driving period, the first violation will add P for half a year, and the second violation will require a re-examination. Therefore, knights should not be greedy for a quick moment, and they can also pay more attention to the position of the snapshot camera at ordinary times, so as not to be photographed accidentally.

Don't turn around and step on the double white line to shoot the car

Crossing double white lines is also a common scoring item, and it is also a P trap that many new card knights will fall into by mistake. It is not allowed to cut the double white line on the road surface, I believe most drivers are very clear; but some riders turn around on the double white line section because of convenience or go the wrong way, it is also a crossing of the double white line, and it will also be scored and added p. In addition, motorcyclists should also be careful when photographing vehicles on double-white lines. Although the law does not prohibit photographing vehicles on double-white lines, they can also be prosecuted if they step on double-white lines while photographing. Of course, there will not be policemen watching riders to take pictures of their cars all the time, but car cams are everywhere, and some drivers who are not friendly to motorcycle riders may have the opportunity to look at the car cam clips and report at any time, so if a rider wants to take pictures of a car, he must Be more careful, it is best to avoid shooting cars on double white lines, so as not to fall into the law.

The zebra crossing must let pedestrians zigzag and do not shoot cars

The zebra crossing is also a section of the road where many drivers are "caught". The zebra crossing is a priority for pedestrians. As long as there are pedestrians walking to the zebra crossing and waiting to cross the road, even if they have not started to cross the road, the rider must stop and let the pedestrians go first. Otherwise, 3 points will be scored, and the P card rider will also be given a P. In serious cases, even You will be charged with dangerous driving. In addition, the zigzag roads before and after the zebra crossing are not allowed to climb the head, stop to pick up and drop off passengers, or park cars. Cavaliers must remember not to shoot cars on the zigzag roads, otherwise they will also be prosecuted and scored.

Controllable dangerous driving on the sidewalk is recommended to turning off the engine and pushing the cart

Many riders are greedy for convenience and will drive on the sidewalk when parking or driving. This is not only a trap but even genuine riders will be charged with careless driving or even dangerous driving at any time. Riders need to understand that not everyone is familiar with motorcycles. Pedestrians are often overwhelmed or frightened when a motorcycle drives onto the pavement, and some even take a film to report it. Cavaliers drive motorcycles only for convenience or to enjoy the fun of driving. There is no point in causing official complaints about driving on the pavement. If you want to park your vehicle on the pavement, it is best to turn off the engine and push the motorcycle for safety.

If you occupy the right line for a long time, you may be charged with a ticket. Novices and veterans must pay attention

In addition to the above-mentioned pitfalls, the P plate has several additional requirements, including no passengers in the back seat, P on the front and rear of the car, a speed limit of 70 kilometers per hour, and the rightmost line cannot be used on expressways with three or more lines, any one of several crimes will be added P or nailed. It is worth noting that there is a rule about the rightmost lane. The definition of an expressway is different from that of a trunk line. Generally, it can be distinguished by road signs. Only roads with green road signs are considered expressways. Therefore, roads such as Lung Cheung Road or West Kowloon Corridor are easily Not subject to this rule. However, regardless of whether the P plate or not, the driver should drive on the left at all times unless he climbs the head, otherwise, it is illegal. In the past, there have been drivers who occupied the far right line on the expressway for a long time but were stopped by the traffic police for ticket control. Therefore, regardless of novices or veterans, it is not suitable for knights to occupy the expressway for a long time.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that there are still some items that will be charged with tickets, such as parking on double yellow lines, which is not obeying road signs; or entering restricted areas, illegal parking, etc., violations of these regulations will result in fixed fines, but due to No scoring is involved, so P cards will not be affected. Everyone, remember to drive carefully and put safety first so that you can have a long life. Helmet King hereby wishes all novice knights a smooth ride!
