Does it matter if I drive over a single yellow line?

Single yellow lines must not be crossed. Here are the details: 1. Violation: Crossing a yellow line is a traffic violation. Yellow lines are divided into single and double yellow lines, neither of which allows vehicles to cross or drive over them. If violated and recorded by traffic police or cameras, a fine will be issued, along with a deduction of 3 points. However, for yellow dashed lines, vehicles may cross or make a U-turn as long as it does not interfere with oncoming traffic. 2. Double solid yellow lines: These are used to divide roads with two or more lanes in each direction that do not have a central divider. Simply put, double yellow lines act as barriers—strictly prohibiting vehicles from crossing them to overtake or drive over them. Crossing them is equivalent to hitting a barrier.
