How many points are deducted for lane changing over the line on the highway?

Three points will be deducted, and a fine will be imposed. This behavior is considered a violation of prohibition signs or markings. Below is more information about driving on the highway: 1. Vehicles are not allowed to reverse, drive in the opposite direction, cross the central divider, or stop in the lane on the highway. 2. If driving a medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicle, or a hazardous material transport vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or if driving any other vehicle exceeding the speed limit by less than 20%, three points will also be deducted. 3. Most sections of the highway have dashed lines, while solid lines are placed at tunnel entrances and exits, tunnel road surfaces, ramps, emergency lanes, and other areas where lane changing is prohibited. These solid lines serve the same purpose as those on urban roads—lane changing or overtaking is not allowed, and drivers must follow the vehicle in front in sequence.

Once on the highway, I was in a hurry to change lanes and accidentally crossed the line without checking properly. I got caught by a camera, resulting in a 3-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. I deeply regretted it. New drivers often get nervous and want to rush, but on the highway, speeds are high, and crossing lines while changing lanes can startle the car behind, potentially causing a rear-end collision. Since then, I've forced myself to always signal, wait 2-3 seconds, check the rearview mirror, and then change lanes. There are rules for solid and dashed lines—solid lines must never be crossed. Now that it's a habit, I feel much safer. Learning more about traffic rules is useful in daily driving. For example, not driving in the correct lane costs 3 points, and accumulating 12 points means retaking the driving test—way too much hassle. So take it slow, don’t rush.

I've been driving for many years and witnessed numerous cases of lane changing over solid lines on highways, which is truly dangerous. According to China's traffic laws, this violation typically results in a 3-point deduction and a fine of around 200 yuan. However, if your line-crossing causes an accident, such as a sideswipe or rear-end collision, you may face more point deductions or even criminal liability. Safety first! Before changing lanes on highways, always accelerate first, then observe, leaving enough safe distance. Ensure the following vehicle hasn't reacted before signaling and turning. Lane markings are boundaries - crossing solid lines means breaking the rules' red line. I recommend both novice and experienced drivers regularly review traffic regulations to remind themselves not to get complacent, as life is more valuable than time.

High-speed lane changing over solid lines is heavily penalized. I've checked the regulations—it typically results in 3 demerit points plus a 200-yuan fine. Accumulating too many points (12 in a year) means mandatory traffic school and exams, disrupting work and life. While the fine isn't astronomical, nobody likes throwing money away. The safety risks are greater: crossing lines can trigger chain-reaction collisions. When driving, I strictly monitor lane markings: never cross solid lines, and always check mirrors before changing lanes on dashed lines. Cultivate good habits like planning routes ahead to avoid last-minute lane changes—it saves headaches. Remember, driving isn't about racing against the clock, but arriving home safely.
