How many points are deducted for going straight in a turning lane?

Going straight in a turning lane results in a 2-point deduction and a fine. Below are the relevant details: Different penalties based on road type: The severity of the penalty varies depending on the type of road. If you fail to drive in the designated lane (turning left from a straight lane) on highways or urban expressways, 3 points will be deducted, and a small fine will be imposed. If the violation occurs on roads other than highways or urban expressways, only a small fine will be imposed without point deduction. Legal basis: Turning left from a straight lane primarily violates Article 90 of China's 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' which states that motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage will receive a warning or a small fine, and in most cases, 2 points will be deducted.

I remember once when I was driving at an intersection, in a hurry, I stopped in the left-turn lane and went straight, only to be caught by an electronic eye, resulting in 2 points deducted and a 200 yuan fine. Since then, I've been particularly careful about intersection signs and lane selection. Using a turn lane for straight driving can easily cause traffic jams or accidents, and traffic police are watching closely. Following the rules makes driving smoother. Now, I change lanes in advance to avoid last-minute decisions. Developing good habits can really reduce tickets and risks, especially during peak hours in the city when traffic is heavy.

As a novice driver, I often got confused about lane rules at first. My instructor told me that making incorrect turns or going straight in the wrong lane would directly result in a 2-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine, as stipulated by traffic regulations. The fine for choosing the wrong lane is minor, but the key issue is the increased safety hazards, such as the risk of being rear-ended by following vehicles or causing traffic chaos. During practice, I always remind myself to check road signs in advance for proper positioning and to stay fully focused while driving without distractions. For beginners, it's best to practice lane changes more often on low-speed roads – safety is more important than saving time.

Driving straight in a turning lane results in a 2-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan, which I pay special attention to during my daily commute. As an urban office worker, traffic is congested during peak hours, and some drivers change lanes recklessly to save time, leading to an increase in accident rates. Although the point deduction is not high, accumulated points can cause significant trouble. I've developed the habit of checking navigation prompts for lanes in advance. Following the rules is not just about avoiding fines, but also about protecting the safety of myself and others.
