How many points are deducted for an illegal left turn?

The "New Traffic Law" has corresponding regulations, an illegal left turn will result in a deduction of 6 points. Behaviors resulting in 6-point deduction: Driving a motor vehicle despite being advised not to during the period when the motor vehicle driving license is temporarily suspended. Violating traffic signal lights: Driving a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%; driving other motor vehicles at a speed exceeding the prescribed limit by more than 20% but less than 50% (ordinary vehicles cannot distinguish whether it is on a highway).

I still remember when I just got my driver's license, I made a left turn on a small road without clearly seeing the no-entry sign, and was stopped by a traffic police officer who deducted 6 points and fined me 200 yuan. I was really nervous for a long time and felt so impulsive. Now looking back, if I had set up a reminder on the navigation app or slowed down to take a closer look at the traffic signals at the intersection, this wouldn't have happened. Getting points deducted for illegal left turns is mainly because you violated basic traffic rules. Running a red light is the most common offense, resulting in a 6-point deduction, while other situations might lead to a 3-point deduction. Safety really can't be taken lightly. Every time I drive, I remind myself not to take risks just to save time.

Having driven for decades, I've seen quite a few silly cases of illegal left turns, usually resulting in 6 points deducted and a 200-yuan fine, occasionally less with 3 points deducted, like making a left turn in a prohibited zone. I've noticed many new drivers tend to make this mistake. It's actually quite simple: if there's a left-turn signal at the intersection, follow it; if there's no signal, make sure it's safe before turning. I recommend regularly checking your car's headlights and such, especially being more cautious at night. Safe driving habits are the foundation for a worry-free and effortless drive.

As a mom who drives my kids to school every day, I'm especially concerned about driving safety. Illegal left turns often result in a 6-point deduction, with the maximum penalty being 12 points and license suspension, but what really worries me is the risk of accidents. When my kids are in the back seat, I always drive slowly and make sure to look thoroughly both ways before turning. If I encounter a red light or a stop sign, I have to come to a complete stop—otherwise, not only would I face a fine, but it would also weigh heavily on my mood. Since developing these habits, my drives have gone much smoother.

If you accidentally make an illegal left turn, the penalty is typically 6 points, as it involves violating traffic signals or disregarding signs; the fine starts at 200 yuan. I recommend immediately checking your driver's license points status and downloading a traffic app to stay updated on regulations. Before driving next time, take a moment to glance at intersection signs, and use a mobile map app for early warnings about left-turn restrictions to avoid trouble. Simple habit changes can ensure safety.
