What are the penalties for changing lanes over solid lines at highway exits?
1 Answers
Changing lanes over solid lines at highway exits results in a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license, as it violates traffic regulations by crossing the solid line markings. Penalties may vary by region, and while such violations are often not captured by electronic surveillance, they can be penalized on the spot by traffic police. However, if a lane change over solid lines causes a traffic accident, the driver will be held responsible for the incident. In addition to prohibiting lane changes, solid lines on highways also forbid U-turns and turns, which are common mistakes made by new drivers. Therefore, it is crucial to drive cautiously on highways, preferably at reduced speeds, to allow more reaction time and avoid violations. Whether it's single yellow, white solid lines or double yellow, white solid lines, crossing them is strictly prohibited. Sometimes, changing lanes across these lines may lead to driving in the wrong direction, which is extremely dangerous.
