Will crossing the line at a traffic light intersection result in penalty points?

Normally, crossing the solid white line at a traffic light intersection will result in a 3-point penalty if caught by electronic police or traffic officers on site. Here are some additional details: 1. Under special circumstances, lane changing over the line is allowed if it does not affect other vehicles, but evidence should be preserved to apply for administrative reconsideration to cancel the penalty later. 2. If a traffic accident occurs due to crossing the solid line at a traffic light, full responsibility may be taken depending on the situation. Additional information: At intersections without traffic lights, do not blindly proceed. If you think there are few vehicles at such intersections and you can pass quickly, once vehicles on the transverse lane also pass quickly, you may only realize it when you reach the middle of the road, which can easily lead to collisions and accidents.

After driving for so many years, I can tell you for sure that crossing the line at traffic lights will result in penalty points. Last year, while waiting at a red light at an urban intersection, my wheels slightly crossed the stop line and got caught by an electronic eye. Later, I received a fine notice and was deducted 2 points. The worst part was wasting both time and money. Actually, crossing the line can easily lead to misjudgment by other drivers, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions, especially during rush hour. To avoid it, it's simple: slow down in advance when stopping, don't rush the last few seconds; use your eyes or rearview mirror to confirm your wheels are behind the line; developing this habit can save you a lot of trouble. Safe driving is more important than anything, so you won't regret it like I did.

As an ordinary person familiar with traffic regulations, crossing the line at traffic light intersections can indeed lead to penalty points. According to Chinese traffic rules, crossing the stop line during a red light is not considered a full red-light violation, but it may be treated as illegal parking or signal violation, typically resulting in 1-3 penalty points and a fine of 100-200 RMB, depending on specific circumstances such as the presence of cameras or police officers. Having driven in many cities, I've noticed that novices often cross the line due to nervousness or lack of experience. It's advisable to stay focused while driving and anticipate light changes; if you do cross the line, don’t panic—just stop and wait for the green light. Regularly checking traffic regulation apps for updates can help avoid distractions and similar mistakes, boosting driving confidence.

I just got my driver's license a few months ago and still feel nervous about traffic rules. My instructor repeatedly reminded me not to cross the line at traffic light intersections, otherwise points will be deducted. During practice, I try to stop well ahead, keeping the wheels clear of the line for maximum safety. I heard crossing it might cost around 2 points—not fatal but affects annual inspection. Stay calm when practicing, avoid slamming brakes or zoning out like a beginner, and build good habits to prevent minor mistakes. With a few more simple practices, it'll become easy to master.

The penalty for crossing the line involves safety considerations, not just fines. Crossing the line at intersections disrupts traffic flow. For example, if your wheels cross the stop line, the car behind might assume you've started moving, leading to rear-end collisions or conflicts. In my 20 years of driving, I've witnessed several minor accidents caused by this. The regulation deducts 2-4 points to remind drivers to be cautious. In daily driving, I always pay attention to the traffic light colors in advance and leave buffer time for stopping. Maintaining vehicle conditions, such as the braking system, can also prevent sudden stops that cause line crossing. Overall, developing a sense of rules prioritizes the safety of yourself and others.
