How Many Points Are Deducted and Fines Imposed for Straight-Line Turns?
2 Answers
Straight-line turns result in a deduction of 2 points and a fine. Below is relevant information about right-angle turns: 1. Overview: The right-angle turn is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's test, evaluating the driver's ability to correctly operate the steering and accurately judge the vehicle's inner and outer wheel differences on abrupt road sections. Engage first gear, release the handbrake, slowly lift the clutch to maintain semi-engagement for steady forward movement, keeping the left wiper's left dot (the first rivet) aligned with the right edge of the road's yellow line at a 20 cm distance. Then, focus on a point slightly ahead of the middle door lock on the front left door of the car. 2. Deduction Points: Failing if wheels touch protruding points; deducting 20 points each time wheels touch the road edge line; deducting 10 points for using reverse gear to complete the task; deducting 10 points for not using or incorrectly using turn signals.
When I first started driving, I was fined once for crossing a solid line while turning, resulting in a 1-point deduction and a 200-yuan penalty. It happened at a T-junction where I crossed the solid line to make a right turn and was caught by an electronic eye. According to traffic regulations, crossing a solid line is considered a violation of prohibited markings, usually penalized with a 1-point deduction and a fine ranging from 100 to 200 yuan, depending on city-specific rules. It's not just about the fine—accumulating too many points could mean retaking the written test, which is a hassle. Turning over a solid line is genuinely dangerous, as it can easily lead to scratches or rear-end collisions, especially during rainy or foggy conditions with low visibility. Now, I drive very carefully, only changing lanes or turning at dashed lines, forming good habits. I recommend planning your route in advance to avoid last-minute lane changes. A dashcam is also quite useful, as it can help prove you didn’t violate any rules. Safety first—don’t invite trouble for the sake of cutting corners.
