1345 is a violation code, specifically referring to driving in violation of prohibited markings. The most common violations include driving over double yellow lines, crossing lines, or parking on roadsides marked with no-parking signs. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, violations under code 1345 will result in penalty points and fines. The specific violations under code 1345 are as follows: 1. Parking for extended periods in areas where temporary or long-term parking is prohibited, typically marked with no-parking signs. 2. Crossing or driving over double yellow lines, or driving along them for an extended period. Note that both double and single yellow lines prohibit crossing. 3. Stopping within yellow grid no-parking zones, often occurring when traffic congestion leads to unintentional entry into the grid without a quick exit. 4. Crossing solid white lines while driving. 5. Driving over or stopping within guide line areas.
Violation code 1345 refers to the act of driving in a direction not indicated by the lane at an intersection controlled by traffic lights. For example, if you were supposed to go straight in a straight lane but you turned or changed lanes instead. The penalty is usually a deduction of 2 points and a fine ranging from 100 to 200 yuan, with the exact amount depending on local traffic regulations. This violation is quite common, and many drivers tend to make this mistake, especially during peak hours when there is heavy traffic at intersections. Accumulating too many points can be troublesome—once you reach 12 points, you'll have to retake the driving test and pay fines, which is time-consuming. I’d like to remind everyone to check the lane arrows early when driving and not rush through intersections. Understanding traffic rules better in daily life can help avoid such issues, and developing safe driving habits is the key.
