How many points will be deducted for turning right in a straight lane when all lights are green?

[MichaelDella]

Due to inconsistent penalty standards across different regions, some areas do not consider turning right in a straight lane when all lights are green as a violation to improve traffic efficiency in busy areas, so no illegal recording will be made. However, some regions are stricter, imposing fines and deducting 3 points. Definition of driving in an incorrect lane: Driving a motor vehicle in an incorrect lane generally refers to not following the designated lane, crossing or straddling lane lines. The penalty for driving a motor vehicle in an incorrect lane on highways is a deduction of 3 points and a fine. Driving a motor vehicle in an incorrect lane on urban expressways also results in a deduction of 3 points and a fine. Driving a motor vehicle in an incorrect lane on roads other than highways and urban expressways incurs a fine without point deduction. Time for vehicle violation inquiries: Generally, it takes two to three days from the time a violation is recorded to its entry into the system, and it can take up to 13 working days to check.

I'm particularly fond of studying traffic regulations, and I remember that traffic rules clearly stipulate that you must adhere to the function of lane markings. Making a right turn from a straight-only lane when all lights are green is obviously driving not in accordance with the prescribed lane. According to China's "Road Traffic Safety Law," this type of violation typically results in a 2-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. I once encountered a similar situation while driving—a friend who didn't understand the rules made a right turn from a straight-only lane at an intersection and was caught by surveillance, resulting in immediate penalty points. This isn't just about losing points; it can also block traffic, forcing other straight-moving vehicles to brake suddenly and increasing the risk of accidents. When driving, always pay attention to lane arrows and traffic signals—a green light doesn't mean you can drive however you want. Specific regulations depend on local traffic police enforcement, but the standards are generally the same, and a 2-point deduction is unavoidable. It's advisable to handle traffic violations promptly and avoid accumulating points.

After driving for many years, I have deep feelings about this kind of thing. Last summer, I was driving downtown and at an all-green-light intersection, I impulsively made a right turn from the straight lane. The next day, I received a text notification that I had been fined 200 yuan and deducted 2 points. At the time, I thought I did nothing wrong—the light was green, so what’s the issue? But later, after asking experienced drivers, I realized that lanes have specific functions—you can’t turn from a straight lane. This kind of violation is quite common, especially among new drivers. My neighbor did the same thing last time and ended up with points deducted from their license and a fine. The key is to understand the rules on one hand and pay attention to safety on the other—making a right turn like this could lead to a collision with cars in the proper right-turn lane. The penalty is usually 2 points, but it’s best to check local regulations, as there might be slight differences from place to place. In short, stay alert while driving, follow navigation prompts, and don’t ignore lane markings.

Whenever traffic rules are discussed, I always emphasize safety. Making a right turn from a straight-only lane with a full green light is absolutely not allowed, as it violates lane usage regulations and typically results in a 2-point deduction. The reason is simple: other vehicles may be going straight or turning, and your right turn from the straight lane can block the road and cause collisions. A green light doesn't mean no rules—it's there for orderly traffic flow. I recall seeing statistics showing that such violations lead to a significant number of rear-end collisions. Deducting points is minor; safety is what truly matters. Develop the habit of driving strictly according to lane markings, regardless of the traffic light color, to avoid risky behavior. The 2-point penalty is set to remind drivers to drive responsibly. If you're unsure about the rules, you can review driving test materials or consult experienced drivers.
