How many points are deducted for crossing the solid line at a traffic light?
2 Answers
Crossing the solid line at a traffic light results in a deduction of 3 points. Below is an introduction to traffic lights: Introduction: Traffic lights are signals that direct traffic, typically consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition, a green light indicates permission, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Colors: Initially, there were only red and green colors. After improvements, a yellow light was added—red means stop, yellow means prepare, and green means go. The choice of these three colors for traffic signals is related to human visual structure and psychological reactions.
I drove a taxi for over a decade, and crossing solid lines was all too common, especially when the light turned from red to green. Some people would slam on the brakes and roll over the line, and I got penalized for it once. It happened at an intersection where the camera caught me perfectly, resulting in a 2-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. Though the points deducted were few, with only 12 points in a year, crossing the line a few times puts you in danger of losing your license and having to retake the test. Why are solid lines important? They act like warning lines, telling drivers where to stop safely and avoiding reckless lane changes that could cause accidents. Now, I always remind myself to slow down early and stop steadily at least a meter or two behind the line. Once it becomes a habit, driving feels much safer. Always observe the flow of traffic on the road, and don’t let impatient drivers behind you pressure you into crossing the line. Safe driving is the real skill.
