Driving straight in the wrong lane will result in a deduction of 2 points. Penalties for not driving in the designated lane: According to Article 51 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals, it must enter the designated lane according to the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked lanes. If a driver does not follow the designated lane (i.e., drives in the wrong lane), they will generally be penalized with a deduction of 2 points and a fine. Common violations of not driving in the designated lane include: 1. Making a U-turn or left turn in sections where such actions are not allowed or prohibited; 2. Not following the guiding markings at intersections and driving in the corresponding lane; 3. Illegally entering a dedicated lane. Borrowing a lane: This refers to pedestrians crossing the roadway where there is no marked sidewalk, or vehicles entering other lanes when turning, meeting, overtaking, making a U-turn, or parking. It includes motor vehicles changing lanes, entering non-motorized lanes or sidewalks, and non-motorized vehicles entering motorized lanes or sidewalks. If there are no traffic signs in a parking lot indicating whether driving in the opposite direction is allowed, ignorance may be excused. Otherwise, if there are corresponding warning signs, traffic police can impose penalties. On the road, driving in the opposite direction is generally determined by traffic markings. On two-way roads, vehicles must drive on the right side. Occupying the opposite lane will result in penalties for driving in the wrong direction.
