What are the penalties for making a U-turn over double yellow lines?

[DeKing]

Making a U-turn over double yellow lines will result in a fine and a deduction of 3 points. If a motor vehicle violates the regulations by making a left turn or U-turn at an intersection where such maneuvers are prohibited, it will be fined and penalized with 2 points deducted. Additionally, in the event of a traffic accident, the driver will bear the primary responsibility.

From my years of driving experience, making a U-turn over double yellow lines is really not something to take lightly. The penalty is usually an on-the-spot fine of around 200 to 300 yuan, plus a deduction of 3 driver's license points. It might not sound severe, but accumulating too many points could mean having to retake the theoretical exam, which is a hassle. Double yellow lines represent a central lane divider that strictly prohibits crossing, and reckless U-turns can easily lead to head-on collisions. I've seen several minor rear-end collisions caused by this. It's best to develop the habit of waiting for a dashed line or an intersection to make a U-turn—it's safer and more convenient. Traffic rules are designed for everyone's safety, and getting caught violating them could also go on your record and affect your credit. Always pay attention to road signs while driving, and don’t cut corners at the expense of your own and others' safety.

When I first started learning to drive, I wasn't very familiar with the rules. Later, I learned that making a U-turn on a double yellow line is an illegal operation. In terms of penalties, traffic police usually impose fines ranging from 200 to 400 RMB, along with deducting two to three points from the driver's license. In severe cases, additional penalties may apply. The purpose of double yellow lines is to separate lanes of opposing traffic and prohibit any form of lateral crossing, with U-turns being a high-risk behavior. I remember during one road test, the instructor repeatedly emphasized this, saying it could easily lead to traffic accidents. New drivers should pay special attention and only make U-turns at dashed lines or designated locations for safety. Safe driving is far more important than saving a little time, and violation records can affect future driving safety. Practice observing road signs more to avoid similar mistakes.

According to traffic regulations, making a U-turn on a double solid yellow line constitutes a violation of the prohibition marking instruction. The standard penalty is a fine ranging from 200 to 500 RMB and a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license. Double yellow lines indicate a strict central divider, and any crossing action may threaten the safety of oncoming vehicles. Violations caught will be recorded in personal files, affecting driving record points. From a safety perspective, it is also crucial as reducing accident risks is the original design intent. Following the rules can protect both your own and others' travel safety. Familiarizing yourself with the route before each drive to avoid sudden turns is key.

When driving, pay attention to the double yellow line rules. Making a U-turn here will result in penalties, such as a fine of several hundred yuan and deduction of one or two points. More importantly, there are safety risks. As a dividing marker, the double yellow line makes reckless U-turns prone to causing head-on collisions. It is recommended to only make U-turns in dashed line areas or detour to safe intersections. Developing cautious habits can reduce troubles. Regularly check maps and plan routes in advance to prevent such violations. The principle of safe driving is the core to protecting yourself and others.
