How many points are deducted and what is the fine for crossing the line when turning left?

One point is deducted for crossing the line when turning left. The penalty for crossing the line when turning left is divided into the following three situations: Crossing the white stop line in the left-turn lane: If the vehicle exceeds the zebra crossing area and completes the left turn by crossing the double yellow line near the center of the intersection, it will be fined and one point will be deducted if caught. The front wheel crosses the double solid yellow line: If the vehicle fails to correctly enter the designated lane and the front wheel crosses the double solid yellow line, it will be fined and one point will be deducted. Types of line-crossing violations caught on camera: One is crossing the line while driving. The other is crossing the line while parked. While driving, if the tires on either side of the vehicle cross the solid line, even if only the front wheel crosses or goes beyond the line, it will be penalized as a line-crossing violation if caught on camera. Parking over the line usually refers to the vehicle stopping with its wheels on or crossing the dividing line, and it will be penalized whether caught by manual police photography or electronic photography.
I've also encountered several instances of crossing the solid line when making a left turn. According to current traffic regulations, this violation incurs a 1-point deduction and a fine ranging from 100 to 200 yuan. Typically, in urban areas, crossing yellow or white solid lines during a left turn is captured by cameras and primarily classified as violating prohibited marking instructions. Having driven for many years, I've seen numerous novices penalized for hastily crossing lines during left turns. The key is to develop the habit of clearly observing lane markings when turning, avoiding haste. Crossing lines not only wastes money and deducts points but also easily leads to rear-end collisions, harming both oneself and others. It's advisable to use mobile navigation apps with lane reminders for real-time marking alerts. Regularly checking tire pressure and brakes can also reduce the likelihood of accidental line crossings. In short, safety comes first; even small fines are troublesome, so it's better to drive slowly and steadily.
