What is the penalty for changing lanes without signaling on a dashed line?
1 Answers
Failure to use turn signals under specified circumstances results in a 1-point deduction and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. If a driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority will impound their motor vehicle driving license. The driver must then participate in road traffic safety laws and regulations training and undergo an examination as required. Below are the correct methods for safe lane changing: 1. Observe the rearview mirror of the intended lane: Check the rearview mirror in the direction you plan to change lanes, primarily to assess the density of vehicles in that lane. If there are many vehicles, especially if one flashes high beams, you should refrain from changing lanes. 2. Use turn signals: When preparing to change lanes, immediately activate the turn signal while checking the rearview mirror. On highways where speeds are high, signaling in advance alerts following vehicles. After signaling, wait a few seconds to confirm the safety of the intended lane before gently steering to change lanes. Avoid making abrupt steering movements when changing lanes.
