How are points deducted for making turns where prohibited?
2 Answers
Here are the specific details on how points are deducted for making turns where prohibited: 1. Left turns: Making a left turn where prohibited is a traffic violation for motor vehicles. No points are deducted, but there is a corresponding fine. 2. Right turns: Making a right turn where prohibited results in a deduction of 3 points. According to Article 68, Section 3 of the Provincial Implementation Measures, based on the new Order No. 111 "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the penalty has been increased from the original 2 points to 3 points. 3. Additional information: Prohibition signs have a white background, red circle, red bar, and black pattern, with the pattern over the bar. Signs for lifting no-overtaking and speed limit restrictions have a white background, black circle, black bar, and black pattern, with the pattern over the bar. The shape is circular, while yield signs are equilateral triangles with the apex pointing downward.
Well, after driving for so many years, I know full well that making an illegal turn is definitely a violation. According to traffic rules, this behavior will result in penalty points—usually 2 or 3 points, depending on the circumstances. For example, if you make an illegal turn at a city intersection and get caught by a camera, you’ll lose 3 points and may also face a fine of 100 to 300 yuan. Even worse, if it causes an accident, the points deducted will double, potentially exceeding 6 points. I’ve seen many beginners make this mistake simply because they didn’t notice the signs or were in a hurry. Actually, avoiding it is simple: plan your route in advance and use navigation apps, which automatically alert you to no-turn zones; drive slower in unfamiliar areas and pay more attention to road signs. Safety should always come first—don’t risk it just to save a little time, or you’ll regret it after damaging your car or hurting someone. Driving is all about patience; developing good habits can save you a lot of trouble.
