Should Lane Changes Be Done Slowly or Quickly?
1 Answers
The speed of lane changes should be determined based on actual road conditions. When traffic ahead is moving normally, a quick lane change is necessary. Precautions for lane changing: When merging from an acceleration lane into a travel lane, pay attention to the traffic conditions in the travel lane. Merge behind normally moving vehicles when traffic is sparse. If a vehicle is following closely behind, control your speed and merge into the travel lane only after all vehicles have passed. Do not abruptly cut in between vehicles. Always signal your intention to change lanes in advance. Turn on the left turn signal when preparing to turn left, change lanes to the left, overtake, leave a parking spot, or make a U-turn. Turn on the right turn signal when preparing to turn right, change lanes to the right, return to the original lane after overtaking, or pull over to the roadside. Penalties for illegal lane changes: Driving a motor vehicle on a highway or urban expressway without following the designated lane rules will result in a 3-point penalty. When encountering slow-moving or stopped traffic ahead, illegally overtaking by using the opposite lane or cutting in line will result in a 2-point penalty.
