What are the penalties for motor vehicles not driving in the designated lane?

According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers who fail to drive in the designated lane will be fined and have three points deducted from their driving license. When approaching a traffic signal intersection, drivers should change lanes in advance to avoid the danger caused by not following the designated lane. The directional lane markings are designed to guide vehicles in the correct direction at intersections. Such markings are commonly found at busy intersections to clarify the direction of travel, ensure orderly traffic flow, and reduce congestion. A variable lane, indicated by multiple diagonal lines on the side, is a lane that can change its direction based on real-time traffic flow.
While driving, if I accidentally cross the line or don't follow the designated lane, the consequences can be quite unpleasant. My friend was caught last time when he stopped in the straight lane while trying to make a left turn at an intersection. He was fined 200 yuan and had 3 points deducted from his driver's license. Isn't that annoying? Traffic regulations are set this way to reduce accidents, as designated lanes are specifically designed to divert traffic flow. Driving recklessly can cause congestion or even lead to rear-end collisions. After driving in big cities for a long time, I always remind myself to pay attention to road markings and arrow signals. Repeated violations may result in doubled fines or even affect insurance discounts the following year. Remember to check your violation records promptly to avoid accumulating too many points and having to retake the driving test. Anyway, although the rules are strict, once you get used to them, driving becomes more secure and safer.
