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

Driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane will result in penalty points. Below is relevant information about the penalty points: Points cycle: The penalty points on a driver's license will be reset after 12 months. The points cycle starts from the date the driver's license is initially obtained, with each cycle lasting 12 months and a maximum of 12 points, repeating continuously. Handling method: Violations with 11 points or less (including 11 points) can be processed through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123". Alternatively, you can handle it at the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority, requiring the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license.
Driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane will indeed result in penalty points, as I've encountered in my daily driving experience. Traffic regulations stipulate that non-motorized lanes are exclusively designed for non-motorized vehicles, such as bicycles or pedestrians, and motor vehicles entering them constitutes a violation. In China, illegally entering these lanes typically incurs a 2-3 point deduction and a fine ranging from 100 to 200 yuan, with the exact amount determined by local law enforcement. The reason is simple: safety comes first. These lanes are not designed for vehicles and can easily lead to accidents, such as collisions with pedestrians or cyclists. I advise friends to develop the habit of paying attention to road signs and markings, especially at intersections or during traffic jams, and not to take the wrong lane for temporary convenience. This not only protects oneself but also demonstrates responsibility towards others. Using navigation apps can help remind you of lane types and prevent mistakes. Frequent violations may also affect your driver's license points, and accumulating 12 points will require retaking the theoretical exam. Remember, cautious driving is the way to go in the long run—don't let small mistakes lead to major consequences.
