What is the penalty for crossing double solid lines?
2 Answers
Deduct 3 points and fine 200 yuan. The following are specific details about crossing lines: 1. Points deduction rules: Vehicles changing lanes randomly at traffic light intersections or crossing solid lines can easily cause minor traffic accidents. If caught by "electronic police," a fine of 200 yuan and 3 points deduction will be imposed. 2. Precautions: If drivers do not pay attention to road traffic markings and vehicles randomly cross yellow solid lines to drive in the opposite direction, they can be fined 200 yuan and deducted 3 points according to traffic laws. 3. Payment rules: If there are points deducted, the driver must first go to the traffic police station to confirm the violation and points deduction before paying the fine.
Having driven for nearly two decades, I've seen countless cases of crossing double solid lines. The fine typically starts at 200 yuan plus 3 demerit points. For severe violations like crossing lines on highways or sharp curves, penalties can skyrocket to over a thousand yuan. Once, I got caught by a traffic camera for crossing the line while turning at an urban intersection—not only did I pay the fine, but I also lost all my points and had to attend retraining at the traffic police station. What a hassle! More importantly, double solid lines are markers to prevent overtaking and reckless lane changes. Crossing them can easily lead to rear-end collisions or side scrapes. If an accident occurs and the insurance company determines you're fully at fault, you'll be stuck with all the compensation costs. So, don't drive impatiently—glance at your mirrors more often and stay in your lane. Developing this habit saves both peace of mind and money. Safety matters more than speed—everyone must pay attention to road markings.
