What are the penalties for not driving according to road regulations?

Motor vehicles passing through intersections controlled by traffic signals should enter the designated lanes according to the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked guide lanes. For motor vehicles that do not drive in the designated lanes on highways or urban expressways, if caught, they will be penalized with a deduction of 3 points and a certain amount of fine.
I've been driving on the road for decades and have seen many people fined for breaking the rules. Penalties vary based on violations—speeding can cost you 200 to 2000 yuan with 6 points deducted, and running a red light also results in a 200-yuan fine and 6 points deducted. Each offense is recorded, reducing your points further. For serious offenses like drunk driving, fines are higher, 12 points are deducted, and your license may be revoked, leaving you unable to drive. I learned the hard way when I was younger—thinking no one saw me, I changed lanes recklessly and got fined 150 yuan with 3 points deducted, plus had to queue at the traffic violation office. Remember, if you accumulate 12 points, you’ll have to retake the test, wasting time and money. Always pay attention to road signs, don’t rush, and prioritize safety—fines are minor, but injuring someone is far worse. Before each drive, check a traffic rules app—it updates quickly and alerts you to the latest penalties, helping me avoid many mistakes.
