What is the probability of being caught when changing lanes over a solid line?

[SanCharles]

Generally, the probability of being photographed and penalized for changing lanes over a solid white line is not high. As long as no traffic accident occurs, it is rare to receive penalty points. However, drivers should not take chances, as this behavior is a violation of traffic rules. Not only may it result in penalties, but in the event of an accident, the driver will bear full responsibility. General situation: Changing lanes by crossing a solid white line is usually penalized as illegal line crossing, typically resulting in a 3-point deduction. Special circumstances: If the vehicle in front breaks down with hazard lights on, causing congestion behind and prolonged stagnation, vehicles may cross the solid white line to change lanes, provided safety is ensured.
