What to Do If You Run Over a Solid White Line When Turning Right at an Intersection?

After entering the guiding lane and turning right to exit the guiding lane, the right rear wheel ran over the solid line (only slightly). No traffic violation penalty will be imposed on this vehicle for now. Generally, running over a solid white line is not allowed and is considered a violation of prohibited markings, punishable by a corresponding fine and a deduction of 3 points.

Last time when I made a right turn at the intersection, I accidentally drove over the solid white line, which really made me nervous. Mainly because solid white lines are not supposed to be crossed—it's considered a traffic violation and can lead to fines and penalty points. If it happens, the first thing is not to panic; ensuring safety is the top priority. I immediately checked my rearview mirror and, seeing no traffic police or cameras, continued driving. Later, I reflected on it and realized I was in a hurry and didn’t switch to the right-turn lane in advance. Now, every time I turn, I make sure to signal early, slow down, and check the road markings. Crossing the line isn’t just about fines—it’s also dangerous, especially if there are vehicles or pedestrians nearby. To prevent this, develop good habits: stay focused, observe road conditions more, and familiarize yourself with intersection signs. Don’t rush when driving—arriving safely is what truly matters.

I've also encountered situations where I drove over the solid white line while driving. Here's what I know about traffic rules: Crossing the line is a violation, typically resulting in a ticket with points deducted and a fine of around 100 yuan. The risk is higher if there are cameras or traffic police at the intersection. If this happens, avoid slamming on the brakes or reversing to prevent accidents—just drive steadily past. Afterward, check the traffic management app for any violation records and handle the fine accordingly. For prevention, I recommend planning your right turn route in advance, gradually moving to the right before turning, using your turn signal, and paying attention to roadside signs and the starting point of the solid white line. Following the rules isn't just about saving money—it's about ensuring everyone's safety.

I once crossed the solid white line while learning to drive, which was quite scary. My instructor said if you cross it, don't stop there—safely drive away first. If no one's monitoring the scene, you're fine; but if it's a surveillance area, you'll receive a text message ticket. Since then, I always remind myself before turning right: signal, slow down, and check the lane properly. Prevention is simple—adjust your turning angle gradually each time, and slow down if following too closely. Develop good habits to reduce risks.
