While driving a passenger car on an ordinary road, a driver crossed the centerline and drove in the opposite lane, and was caught (no accident). How many demerit points are imposed?
💡 Hint
Demerit points for violating lane-use rules depend on the violation, and crossing the centerline is scored separately from other lane-use violations such as driving onto the sidewalk (Appendix 28, 3. A. of the Enforcement Rule). Be careful not to mix it up with the points for signal or instruction violations.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Under Annex 28, 3.A, item 8, crossing the centerline (a lane-division violation) carries 30 points. Other lane-division violations such as driving onto a sidewalk are 10 points, and 15 points applies to things like disobeying signals, so they do not match.
