Will crossing the solid white line result in penalty points?

Crossing the solid white line will result in penalty points. Driving over a solid line will incur a fine and 3 penalty points. Below is relevant information about crossing solid white lines: 1. Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules shall be given a warning or fined. If this law has other provisions, punishment shall be imposed according to those provisions. 2. Purpose of solid lines: The main purpose of solid lines is to prohibit vehicles from crossing or driving over the line in both directions to prevent accidents. Single or double yellow solid lines generally appear on one or two or more motor vehicle lanes in a single direction; white solid lines are mainly used to separate lanes in the same direction and are usually set up before traffic light intersections.
Over the years of driving, I've been fined several times for crossing solid white lines. Solid white lines are non-crossing markings on the road, used to separate lanes or mark safety zones. According to traffic rules, crossing them counts as a violation. Last year at an intersection, I didn't pay attention and my car crossed a solid white line, which was caught by an electronic eye. I was fined 150 yuan and had 2 points deducted from my license. I really regretted not being more careful at the time. The reason is quite simple - this behavior can easily cause confusion, such as changing lanes without signaling or cutting in line, increasing the risk of accidents. Ordinary drivers like me need to be vigilant, especially during traffic jams when it's easy to be careless. To avoid these situations, I recommend developing the habit of observing road markings and slowing down in advance - safety should always come first. Regularly reviewing traffic rules can also help avoid pitfalls, and maintaining a good record saves both worry and money.
