With over a decade of city driving experience, I've witnessed numerous cases of lane changing by crossing solid lines. Typically, such behavior is captured by traffic cameras, resulting in a 1-point deduction and a 200 RMB fine. Solid lines are designed to separate lanes, and crossing them is equivalent to forcing a merge, which can easily lead to rear-end collisions or side scrapes. Especially during rush hours, many drivers hastily change lanes by crossing solid lines, only to face fines and contribute to traffic congestion. I used to do this myself in my early years, but later learned to signal 100-200 meters in advance before changing lanes, avoiding impulsive decisions. Overall, developing good habits is crucial—safe driving is more important than anything. While the point deduction may seem minor, accumulated infractions can affect your license renewal. Paying extra attention to road markings at intersections helps reduce such violations, saving both money and hassle.
