What is the reason for the right rear wheel crossing the line during curve driving?

Crossing the solid line will definitely be captured by electronic surveillance. Below is more information about crossing the line: Regulations related to vehicle line crossing: The illegal act of a vehicle crossing a white solid line or straddling the line is considered a violation of prohibited marking instructions, generally resulting in a 3-point penalty. Precautions for vehicle line crossing: The purpose of white solid lines is to separate lanes in the same direction, usually marked before traffic lights at intersections. Driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibitory signs or marking instructions will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Crossing solid lines is the most common violation committed by novice drivers, often due to negligence.
When I was practicing driving, I always failed at keeping within the curved lines, mainly due to steering control issues. If you turn the wheel to the right too early, before the car fully enters the curve, the right rear wheel gets pulled toward the edge line. You need to learn to observe the position of the car's front end—start turning when the left headlight aligns with the right edge line. Turn the wheel gently and evenly, like pouring water, not jerking it suddenly. In the rearview mirror, if the wheel is only two fingers' width away from the edge line, you should slightly steer back to the left, keeping the speed under 5 km/h. Remember, it's easy to lose focus in the latter half of the curve, so maintaining attention is crucial. If you feel the car drifting, quickly adjust with a half-turn of the wheel to correct the trajectory.
Pressing the right rear wheel is quite common, and speed is the main culprit. I've seen novices push their speed up to 20 km/h while turning, which feels like riding a bumper car. Excessive speed causes delayed steering response, with the car's inertia dragging the rear wheel outward. It's recommended to maintain a speed of around 5 km/h throughout, gently pressing the clutch with your left foot as if stepping on a raw egg, while your right foot lightly rests on the brake for cushioning. Additionally, combine this with visual anticipation—start turning the wheel in advance when you sense the right turn approaching its limit, rather than waiting until the wheel is about to touch the line. Keeping a close eye on the rear wheel's movement in the rearview mirror is the most practical approach; if the yellow line is less than a fist's width from the wheel, steer back.
