How many points are deducted for changing lanes over a solid white line?

[RichardRose]

Changing lanes over a solid white line results in a deduction of 3 points. Crossing a white line to change lanes is penalized as illegal lane crossing, which incurs both a fine and point deduction. If an accident occurs due to changing lanes over a white line, the vehicle owner bears primary responsibility. Drivers should follow traffic signals, signs, markings, or the directions of traffic police. When approaching an intersection without traffic signals, signs, markings, or police direction, drivers should slow down and yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way. Violations involving solid lines mainly include: making U-turns over single or double yellow solid lines, illegally changing lanes over white solid lines, making U-turns in no-U-turn zones, or turning left in no-left-turn zones, as indicated by ground markings prohibiting U-turns and left turns.
