Will driving in the wrong lane always be captured by cameras?

Driving in the wrong lane will not necessarily be captured by cameras, as the system only recognizes normal license plates. Civilized driving should include: Strictly adhering to road traffic safety regulations, avoiding running red lights, using turn signals when changing lanes, adjusting headlights between high and low beams during nighttime encounters, refraining from overtaking on the right side, especially at high speeds, and not waiting at red lights in right-turn lanes when going straight, among others. Irregular driving behaviors: Driving in the wrong lane and overtaking on the right side are common practices everywhere. Driving in the wrong lane does not only refer to encroaching on non-motorized lanes but also includes occupying fast and slow lanes, bus lanes, and emergency lanes. These behaviors often lead to rear-end collisions and other traffic accidents.
I've been driving for almost 20 years, and friends often ask if occupying lanes will get them caught. Honestly, it's not guaranteed. On highways, some sections like toll booths or bridges have dense camera coverage, making it easy to trigger the electronic eyes and get fined for lane occupation. But in old urban areas or remote outskirts, there are fewer surveillance devices, some even in disrepair, so changing lanes might go unnoticed. The key factors are location and timing: during peak hours in the morning and evening, surveillance is stricter; on holidays with fewer patrols, you might get lucky. I've seen too many drivers get into trouble due to complacency—last year, an acquaintance recklessly occupied a lane without getting caught but ended up in a rear-end collision, costing thousands in repairs. So, regardless of whether cameras are present, safe driving is more important. Develop the habit of following the rules to avoid regret later.
