What is the legal classification of the offense of driving in the opposite direction, even if it is the result of reversing improperly?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Very Serious. Under Road Safety Law, driving in the opposite direction to the established flow of traffic is always considered a very serious offense, regardless of how it originates. If a driver reverses improperly (for example, traveling more than 15 meters or encroaching on an intersection) and thereby travels against the traffic flow, the law equates this to driving in the wrong direction. This entails, in addition to a fine, the loss of license points (usually 6) due to the high risk of head-on collisions.
