How many points will be deducted for crossing a solid line on the highway?

On the highway, crossing a white solid line to change lanes will result in a deduction of three points according to relevant road safety regulations. Not only will points be deducted, but the driver will also be subject to a fine, as crossing a white solid line on the highway is illegal, even if no lane change is involved. White solid lines on the highway include rumble strips, deceleration markings, guide lines, optical illusion markings, distance confirmation lines, and emergency stopping lane markings. Below are detailed explanations: Rumble strips: Primarily serve as a reminder, alerting drivers to curves or downhill sections. Deceleration markings: Create a visual effect that makes the lane appear narrower, prompting drivers to pay more attention and slow down. Guide lines: Used to indicate irregular or special sections ahead. Optical illusion markings: Typically found 200m before a tunnel and extending 100m inside the tunnel. These markings create a sense of spatial compression, naturally prompting drivers to slow down before entering the tunnel, thereby enhancing safety. Distance confirmation lines: Placed in areas prone to overtaking, accidents, or other necessary sections. Upon seeing these markings, drivers should maintain a safe following distance. Emergency stopping lane markings: Allow for temporary parking in case of vehicle breakdowns or emergencies on the highway. Emergency lane markings: Separate the normal rightmost lane from the emergency lane. Under normal driving conditions, vehicles must not cross these markings or enter the emergency lane. Entry is only permitted in cases of vehicle breakdowns or other emergencies, with proper safety warnings placed behind the vehicle.
I think we really need to be extra careful about crossing solid lines to change lanes on highways. I remember last time when I was driving home, I crossed a solid line in a hurry to overtake and got caught by a traffic camera—it cost me 3 points and a 200-yuan fine. That lesson taught me that solid lines are no-crossing markers, especially dangerous on highways where they can easily cause rear-end collisions or rollovers. Now I've developed the habit of signaling first, checking the mirrors, and only changing lanes in dashed-line zones. I suggest car owners regularly check their driving license point records because if you accumulate 12 points within a year, you'll have to retake the theoretical test, which really isn't worth the disruption to work and life.
