Changing lanes over a solid line before a red light is not allowed, and intersections with traffic lights are generally equipped with electronic surveillance cameras that automatically capture such violations. Below are the relevant situations where crossing the solid line before a traffic light may not be penalized: 1. Avoiding emergencies: On a straight-only lane, if the vehicle in front cannot move due to a malfunction, you may cross the solid line to bypass it to avoid obstructing traffic. However, after bypassing, you must continue driving in the direction indicated by the lane you entered; otherwise, you may be recorded for not driving in the designated lane. 2. Traffic police on-site command: Follow the instructions of traffic police present at the scene, prioritizing their directions. 3. Yielding to emergency vehicles: If emergency vehicles such as fire trucks or ambulances are approaching while performing urgent tasks, you must yield by moving to the sides. Failure to yield may result in penalties.

As someone who drives frequently, I can confirm that changing lanes on a solid line before a red light might indeed be captured by cameras. Traffic light intersections are typically equipped with red-light cameras, which cover areas including the solid line sections approaching the intersection. A solid line is inherently a no-lane-change marker, so crossing it easily constitutes a violation. I remember a friend of mine made this mistake at a downtown intersection last year, got recorded by an electronic police camera, was fined 150 yuan, and also received penalty points. Nowadays, these cameras are high-definition, clearly capturing license plates and actions both day and night. More importantly, such sudden lane changes are extremely dangerous—if a car or pedestrian suddenly appears from the side, it could easily lead to an accident. To avoid fines and stay safe, I always choose my lane hundreds of meters in advance, avoiding last-minute frantic lane changes right before the light. In short, rules are rules—following them saves both peace of mind and money.

Having driven for decades, I've gained a thorough understanding of the issue of changing lanes over solid lines. Changing lanes over a solid line at traffic lights is highly likely to be captured by cameras. These cameras are mounted on poles at intersections, monitoring the entire crossing area. Once you cross the line to change lanes, it triggers the recording system. Violations result in fines, possibly around 100 to 200 yuan, or even points deducted affecting your annual vehicle inspection. This isn't just speculation—I once saw someone change lanes when the light turned red on a congested road, and the camera flashed with a click. They were surely fined later. Changing lanes over a solid line is illegal in itself; traffic regulations clearly state that lane changes are not allowed on solid lines as they can easily cause scratches or rear-end collisions. It's advisable to slow down and judge your lane properly when approaching an intersection. Developing this habit will help you avoid trouble, and keeping an eye on urban surveillance upgrades is also a good practice.

I pay special attention to such details when driving. Changing lanes on a solid line before a red light could theoretically be caught by surveillance cameras. Those cameras are designed to capture violations, and changing lanes on a solid line is a common offense. Once, I saw a driver force their way through at an intersection, and when the light turned red, they complained about getting fined on social media a couple of days later. Solid line areas are inherently unsafe, and changing lanes there increases the risk of collisions. From a traffic rule perspective, crossing a solid line is prohibited, so it's best not to test the waters. I've learned to slow down early and choose the right lane to avoid such trouble.

Can You Change Driving Instructors at a Driving School?

Driving schools allow you to change instructors. Below is relevant information about changing instructors: 1. Most driving schools permit it: Generally, as long as you have valid reasons, driving schools will allow students to switch instructors. After all, the initiative to learn driving lies with the student, and as long as you communicate properly with the driving school, there should be no issues. 2. Instructor's perspective: (1) If you enrolled through the driving school, naturally, you need the school's approval to change instructors, as student assignments are managed by the school. In this case, call the driving school to discuss with customer service or submit a written application clearly stating your reasons. (2) If you registered with a private instructor, you need the original instructor's consent to switch. This is because all the registered learning materials are with that instructor.

Where is the hazard light switch on the Wuling Zhiguang?

The hazard light switch on the Wuling Zhiguang is located on the lever under the steering wheel, marked by a small red triangle button.

Why does the Wuling Hongguang have unstable idle speed that fluctuates up and down?

There are many reasons for the unstable idle speed of the Wuling Hongguang. Excessive carbon deposits: Dirt from the air and sludge from gasoline can easily cause the vehicle's throttle to become dirty, leading to poor operation of the idle speed motor. Excessive carbon deposits can result in valves not sealing properly, poor atomization of the fuel injectors, and insufficient combustion. Other reasons: Blocked exhaust pipe, leading to poor exhaust flow, or air leaks causing insufficient vacuum. Aging wiring or issues with the ECU (though this phenomenon is unlikely to occur in the short term, it is recommended that owners avoid installing additional devices on the vehicle). Insufficient cylinder pressure or natural wear (this phenomenon is also unlikely to occur in the short term).
