What are the consequences of going straight in a left-turn lane?
1 Answers
Going straight in a left-turn lane is a violation of traffic rules and constitutes driving not in accordance with the lane markings, which will result in a 3-point penalty. Lane traffic signals indicate: When the green arrow light is on, vehicles in this lane are permitted to proceed in the indicated direction; when the red light or arrow light is on, vehicles in this lane are prohibited from proceeding. Precautions for turning: Try to make a wider turn when turning; when turning, always check the rearview mirror to ensure there are no vehicles or pedestrians behind or to the side before turning; be mindful of blind spots when turning. Novices often focus only on what’s ahead or to the left while turning, neglecting blind spots, which can lead to hitting the curb or causing a scrape. Always check for obstacles below the rearview mirror, and if necessary, open the door to look before turning.
