Driving over the line due to unclear road conditions on rainy days is also considered a traffic violation, but special circumstances may allow for an administrative reconsideration. Here are the specific details: 1. Traffic Violation: A traffic violation refers to any act that violates traffic regulations. Any behavior that breaches traffic management rules is considered a violation. 2. White Solid Line: White solid lines are used to separate lanes moving in the same direction. Lane changes are not permitted without special circumstances, and if caught, it results in a fine of 100 yuan and 1 penalty point. 3. Double Yellow Solid Lines: Double yellow solid lines are typically used on four-lane roads to separate opposing lanes. Crossing these lines constitutes driving in the wrong direction, which is extremely dangerous. 4. Yellow No-Parking Lines: Yellow no-parking lines are usually placed along the roadside, indicating no parking is allowed. If captured by the traffic violation monitoring system, it results in a fine of 200 yuan without penalty points.
A couple of days ago, I was driving in the rain and couldn't see the road clearly, accidentally crossing the line. Later, I was actually caught by an electronic eye and fined. I asked a traffic police friend and learned that even if the road is hard to see in the rain, crossing the line still counts as a violation. He said drivers are responsible for maintaining safe driving, and no matter how bad the weather is, you can't just drive across the lines. If everyone used excuses to drive recklessly, the roads would be chaotic. I was fined 100 yuan that time, reminding everyone to slow down in the rain and use fog lights or wipers to help see the road better. During regular car maintenance, check the tire treads and wipers—these small details can greatly reduce risks. Also, if you do get caught, don't worry; promptly appeal to the traffic authorities about the weather conditions, which might lessen the penalty. But the key is still to prioritize safety yourself.
Dude, I ran into this exact situation last week. Driving in the rain, the windshield got all blurry from the water, and I ended up crossing the lane line, which got caught by the traffic camera. Does it count as a violation? The answer is definitely yes. The cameras don't care how bad the weather is—crossing the line automatically counts as a violation. I checked the traffic app, and China's traffic rules clearly state that drivers must ensure their vehicle stays within the lane. Rainy weather isn't a legal excuse. My advice? If you hit heavy rain, switch to low-speed mode, use the windshield wipers or defogger, and don't rely on luck. Honestly, installing a blind-spot monitoring system is pretty helpful. My new car has one, and driving in the rain has become much easier, with way less risk of crossing lines. Remember, safety first—don't stress about fuel costs, just drive slower to stay safe.
