Cutting in line while waiting in traffic results in a deduction of 2 points per offense. Below are specific details regarding this violation: Regulations: According to the new traffic regulations, when encountering slow-moving or stopped vehicles ahead, actions such as borrowing the opposite lane to overtake, occupying the opposite lane, or cutting in line while waiting will result in a 2-point deduction per offense. Crossing the line: Many drivers, upon realizing they are in the wrong lane, choose to cross solid white lines to merge instead of taking a detour. These actions are illegal. Instead of merging abruptly, drivers can continue in their current lane and make a U-turn at the next intersection. This approach not only prevents traffic congestion but also avoids fines.
A few days ago when I was driving out, I saw a long queue of slow-moving traffic ahead, and someone aggressively cut in line. At that moment, I was wondering how many points would be deducted for such behavior. Later, I checked the traffic regulations and found that this kind of reckless lane-cutting in slow-moving traffic is considered driving not in accordance with the prescribed lane. In most cities, it results in a one-time deduction of 3 points and a fine of around 200 yuan, which is quite troublesome. The first time I drove, I almost did the same thing, but fortunately, a friend reminded me that it not only risks a fine but also easily leads to rear-end collisions and traffic congestion. So now, I just queue up patiently—safety first. Over time, you’ll find that once you get used to this rhythm, it’s actually not that slow, and it helps avoid those annoying disputes. With a bit of common sense, driving becomes much smoother.
