Going straight in a left-turn lane has a high probability of being caught. Driving straight in a left-turn lane will be recorded. Below are the specific penalty regulations for going straight in a left-turn lane: 1. Going straight when both left-turn and straight signals are green: Penalized for not driving in the designated direction, resulting in a fine and 2-point deduction. 2. Going straight when the straight signal is green but the left-turn signal is red: Typically treated as running a red light, resulting in a fine and 6-point deduction. Below is extended information about running a red light: 1. Three photos as evidence: To determine if a vehicle has run a red light, three photos are used as evidence. These photos are taken before the vehicle crosses the stop line, after crossing the stop line, and upon entering the intersection. The photo of entering the intersection clearly shows whether the vehicle forcibly passed through during a red light. 2. Definition: Running a red light refers to the behavior of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to drive. 3. Precautions: When approaching an intersection, slow down in advance to create distance from large vehicles, allowing time and space to observe traffic signals. If you have already crossed the stop line, do not reverse, as it not only increases the risk of collision with vehicles or pedestrians behind but also may be recorded by electronic surveillance due to the displacement.

As a veteran driver who's always on the road, I can tell you the probability of getting caught for going straight from a left-turn lane is actually quite high. Nowadays many intersections are equipped with smart cameras featuring license plate recognition specifically targeting this kind of illegal lane changes. Especially during rush hours, traffic police monitor the screens while the backend system automatically flags violating vehicles - it's a guaranteed ticket every time. Once when I was in a hurry and went straight from a left-turn lane, I got a ticket notification on 12123 app three days later - 2 points deducted and 100 yuan fine. What's more dangerous is suddenly cutting into the straight lane from a left-turn lane - rear vehicles simply can't react in time, making sideswipes and rear-end collisions common occurrences. I sincerely advise against gambling with luck - safety is far more important than saving those few minutes.

As automotive reviewers, we frequently analyze traffic data and found that the capture rate for such violations can exceed 70%. A few years ago, surveillance coverage might have been incomplete, but now even county-level intersections have been upgraded to multi-angle camera systems. Key intersections typically feature three sets of equipment: overhead panoramic cameras to capture lane occupancy, low-angle devices to photograph license plates, and side-mounted dynamic tracking lenses. Data released by a certain city last year showed over 8,000 tickets issued monthly just for going straight from left-turn lanes. Additionally, be aware that some left-turn lanes are adjacent to bus-only lanes—if caught occupying both special lanes, the fine doubles directly.

Newbies often make this mistake! Driving instructors repeatedly emphasize checking lane markings, but many panic and choose the wrong lane. My cousin learned this the hard way last month - hesitating in a left-turn lane when the light turned green, honked at by impatient drivers behind, she impulsively drove straight through. The induction loops at intersections triggered the camera system. These embedded loops sync with traffic lights - wrong wheel positioning means instant photo evidence. Pro tip: change lanes 200m in advance (navigation apps show lane info). If you're stuck in the wrong lane, always choose the safe detour (left turn) over risky straight-through. Even rural areas now deploy mobile enforcement vehicles.

Does the Drain Plug Need to Be Replaced?

The drain plug needs to be replaced. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. Drain Plug: The drain plug on the oil pan of a motor vehicle is directly removed during an oil change. After removal, it cannot be reused and must be replaced with a new drain plug to prevent oil leakage issues. If the original drain plug is reused, leaks may occur during use. 2. Replacement Interval: The oil change interval for an engine depends on the type of oil used. Conventional mineral oil should be changed every 5,000 km, synthetic oil every 7,500 km, and full synthetic oil every 10,000 km. During an oil change, the oil filter should also be replaced simultaneously to complete a minor maintenance service for the vehicle.

What is the safest way to brake on a scooter?

Here are the correct braking methods for a scooter: 1. High speed: When braking at high speed, the braking force on the front wheel must be greater than that on the rear wheel. The braking force on the front wheel at high speed must not cause the front wheel to lock up. 2. Uphill: When braking uphill, the braking force on the front wheel can be appropriately increased. 3. Downhill: When braking downhill, the braking force on the rear wheel can be appropriately increased. 4. Emergency braking: The braking force should be slightly less than the force required to lock the wheels. 5. Slippery surfaces: On slippery surfaces, the rear wheel should brake before the front wheel. Below is additional information about the regulated speeds for motorcycles: 1. Flat road: 40-60 km/h is the economical speed for motorcycles, as it is both safe and fuel-efficient, with minimal wear on the vehicle. 2. General motorcycles: Most motorcycles can reach speeds of 80-120 km/h. 3. Racing motorcycles: Racing motorcycles can exceed 300 km/h. 4. Experimental motorcycles: Scientific experimental motorcycles can reach speeds of up to around 700 km/h.
