Will driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane result in penalty points?

According to the "Road Traffic Management Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicles should not drive in the non-motorized vehicle lane for an extended period and must quickly switch back to the motor vehicle lane. Violating this rule by driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane may result in 0-2 penalty points and a fine. Reasons for delays in clearing fine records include: delays in the traffic violation query platform system—violations go through steps such as detection, confirmation, and public notification, and similarly, processing penalty points and paying fines also involves procedural steps. Use of third-party proxy services: With the rapid development of smartphones, various apps and public accounts for handling traffic violations have emerged. The time taken to process violations varies depending on the channels used by each proxy service to clear the violations.
Driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane usually results in penalty points. I learned this the hard way once when I was in a hurry. I took a turn and accidentally entered the bike lane, and soon after, I was stopped by traffic police. They said it was a serious violation, issued me a ticket, deducted 3 points, and fined me 200 yuan. Looking back, I really regret it. Non-motorized lanes are meant for bicycles and electric bikes. Driving into them is not only dangerous but also prone to causing accidents. Now, I drive extra carefully, keeping an eye on road signs to avoid making the same mistake again. Everyone should remember that driving in the wrong lane not only leads to fines and penalty points but also affects your safety record. If an accident happens, it could be even more troublesome. Safety comes first—taking a little extra time to detour is always better than taking risks.
