It is illegal to occupy the emergency lane, which is one of the traffic violations. According to Article 65 of the Regulations on Road Transportation in China: "It is forbidden to park vehicles in emergency lanes and occupy emergency lanes." If you violate the above regulations, you will be fined and punished accordingly. Specific fines and points deduction can be inquired according to local traffic regulations. In addition to fines and penalty points, occupying emergency lanes may also lead to traffic accidents. Emergency lanes are mainly used for rescue, emergency repair and traffic diversion. If you occupy the emergency lane privately, it may have an impact on emergency rescue and other work. At the same time, occupying the emergency lane may also cause other vehicles to cause traffic accidents, such as colliding with emergency vehicles. If a traffic accident is caused by occupying the emergency lane, the occupier may also bear the corresponding liability for compensation. For example, if other vehicles fail to avoid collision with vehicles occupying the emergency lane, the occupants need to bear certain accident responsibilities.

What should I do if I have to occupy the emergency lane in an emergency? If the emergency lane must be occupied in an emergency, the driver can occupy the emergency lane for a short time while ensuring safety, but he should quickly resume normal driving in the shortest time. For example, in the case of vehicle failure or evacuation, drivers can occupy the emergency lane, but they need to communicate and coordinate with relevant departments to minimize the impact on other vehicles.

Occupying the emergency lane is a serious traffic violation, and will be punished by corresponding fines and points deduction. In addition, occupying the emergency lane may also lead to traffic accidents and bear the corresponding liability for compensation.
