What are the penalties for changing lanes without signaling?
1 Answers
Changing lanes without signaling will result in a one-point deduction on the driver's license and a certain amount of fine. Below are relevant details: 1. Signaling precautions: According to national regulations, when overtaking, motor vehicles should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or honk the horn. When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal should be activated in advance. When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal should be activated in advance. 2. Lane-changing precautions: When changing lanes to the left or right, it should not be done too slowly. Driving with the wheels on the lane markings for a long distance will affect other vehicles. The optimal distance for changing lanes is between 50 to 60 meters. Additionally, when encountering intersections while changing lanes, choose the lane based on the intended direction of travel and follow the directional arrows on traffic signs to enter the guiding lane. If there is an obstacle while changing lanes, do so in advance to prevent collision accidents caused by forced lane changes. When changing lanes, it is not allowed to ride on the lane divider line, the solid center line, or the solid edge line for an extended period. You can only change to an adjacent lane. If you need to change to a farther lane, first change to the adjacent lane, drive for a while, and then change to another lane.
