Drivers who fail to drive or park as required when passing through an intersection will be penalized with 2 demerit points. Motor vehicle drivers who violate the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road passage will be given a warning or fined accordingly.
That day I accidentally turned into the bicycle lane when making a right turn, and it was quite a fluster. My first reaction was to slow down completely, avoiding sudden braking to prevent skidding. Then I turned on the left turn signal, checked the rearview and side mirrors to confirm there were no pedestrians or vehicles in the bicycle lane, before gently steering left to return to the motor lane. The key was to stay calm and keep a firm grip on the steering wheel throughout the process. Reflecting afterward, I realized I must have lost focus during the turn, paying attention only to the traffic signal at the intersection and neglecting to observe the lane markings. Since then, I always reduce speed in advance before every right turn, specifically checking the roadside signs and markings to ensure it's the motor vehicle turning area before steering. If encountering pedestrians or electric bikes, I stop in time to let them pass first—safety always comes first. Regular practice with narrow-lane turns during daily driving can also help prevent such situations.
