Whether crossing the white dashed line constitutes a violation depends on the circumstances. If it is used when changing lanes is necessary while driving, it is not considered a violation. However, if you drive while continuously crossing the dashed line, it is generally considered a violation and may result in a corresponding fine and a deduction of three points. Article 90 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules shall be given a warning or fined. If there are other provisions in this law, the penalties shall be imposed in accordance with those provisions. The 'Road Traffic Signs and Markings' stipulate: When there are two or more lanes in the same direction of travel and vehicles are allowed to change lanes or temporarily cross the lane dividing line, a 'crossable same-direction lane dividing line' should be marked. The 'crossable same-direction lane dividing line' refers to the white dashed line. As one type of lane dividing line, it allows vehicles to cross the white dashed line for lane changes or overtaking. The 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulate: Motor vehicles driving on highways shall not ride or straddle the lane dividing line or drive on the shoulder. Article 85 also states that urban expressways shall follow the above regulations, meaning that motor vehicles driving on expressways are similarly prohibited from riding or straddling the lane dividing line or driving on the shoulder.

Why do Volkswagen cars require 95-octane gasoline?

Volkswagen cars use 95-octane gasoline because most models in Volkswagen's lineup are equipped with turbocharged engines. The turbocharger performs more powerfully during high-speed driving, thus requiring strict fuel specifications. Compared to 92-octane gasoline, 95-octane has better anti-knock properties, making it more suitable for Volkswagen vehicles. Below is an introduction to gasoline octane ratings: 1. Definition of gasoline octane rating: It represents the octane number of gasoline. For example, 95-octane gasoline consists of approximately 95% isooctane and about 5% n-heptane. 2. Anti-knock properties of gasoline: Since isooctane has good anti-knock properties while n-heptane performs poorly in this aspect, a higher octane rating indicates better anti-knock performance of the gasoline.
