Will driving not according to the guide lane be penalized?

Driving not according to the guide lane will be penalized. There are two types of guide lanes, one is a fixed guide lane, and the other is a variable guide lane. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. Fixed guide lane: The so-called fixed guide lane means that the direction of the lane is fixed and unchanging. A straight lane will always be straight, and a right-turn lane will always be right-turn. On such fixed guide lanes, the penalty for not driving according to the guide lane is a 2-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. If driving not according to the guide lane is accompanied by other violations (such as turning or making a U-turn in sections where such actions are not allowed and where no signs are posted, the lane may have a yellow prohibition marking to warn drivers that turning or making a U-turn is not allowed in this section, or making a U-turn or left turn in sections where such actions are prohibited), the penalties will be compounded. 2. Variable guide lane: The variable guide lane is the so-called tidal lane. The tidal lane changes the direction of the lane according to the time, for example, changing from straight to left turn. The warning signs next to the tidal lane will display the corresponding time period. For example, during the morning peak period, the tidal lane can only go straight, and during the evening peak period, the tidal lane can only turn left. The tidal lane has jagged lane lines and conspicuous roadside prompts. If you are not very familiar with the tidal lane, the best practice is not to drive into it.

Yes, I've seen many such situations in my driving experience. Driving not in accordance with the designated lane is definitely subject to enforcement. For example, making a left turn from a straight lane at an intersection will immediately be caught by electronic surveillance or stopped by patrolling police. The fine is usually 100 to 200 yuan, plus 3 demerit points. Last year, my friend got caught, and his insurance premium went up after the penalty. Actually, it's not just about the fine; it's more likely to cause accidents. Last time on a rainy day, I almost scraped the car next to me because of this, luckily no collision occurred. So now I'm used to using navigation apps to plan my route in advance, following the voice guidance to avoid mistakes. Especially during peak hours, with heavy traffic and mixed vehicles, adhering to the lane markings can significantly reduce risks, protecting both my own and others' safety.

Of course you will be caught! I have personal experience from my daily commute. If you suddenly turn right from a straight lane or change lanes recklessly, cameras or police will immediately spot you. Last year, I was fined 150 yuan and had points deducted—it really wasn't worth it. Some new cars now have lane-keeping assist systems, but you still need to pay attention to road signs. Besides fines, this also affects your insurance record. Friends often remind me not to rush and drive recklessly, suggesting slowing down at busy intersections to check the arrows. It's even more dangerous in winter when roads are icy, as misalignment increases the risk of skidding. In short, developing good habits can avoid a lot of trouble.

Yes, not driving in the designated lane will be penalized as it is a traffic violation. Fines and penalty points are common consequences, but I am more concerned about safety issues. Reckless lane changes frequently occur at intersections, potentially leading to an increase in collision accidents. I have seen novice drivers get into dangerous situations because of this, so it's essential to pay close attention to road signs while driving. Using a mobile navigation app can help prevent mistakes and ensure a smooth driving experience.

After years of driving, I understand that driving in the wrong lane will be penalized. Traffic rules require adherence to designated lanes, otherwise, electronic surveillance or traffic police will issue fines. Typically, the penalty is around a hundred yuan with demerit points. While repairing cars, I've heard owners complain about issues caused by misoperation, but most stem from poor driving habits. I recommend regularly checking tires and steering systems to avoid sudden mistakes, and using navigation apps to stay in the correct lane for safety and cost savings.

What are the rules for the new energy vehicle lottery?

New energy vehicle lottery rules: The quota management for new energy passenger cars implements "separate allocation" with a dedicated lottery pool. The eligibility criteria for obtaining a new energy vehicle quota are basically the same as those for the traditional lottery, but buyers must commit or confirm that they have the conditions to install charging facilities. The benefits of new energy vehicles are as follows: 1. Save fuel energy: Generally use natural gas, petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources. 2. Protect the environment: Reduce exhaust emissions and effectively protect the environment. Electric vehicles do not produce exhaust and have no pollution. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit water as exhaust, which does not pollute the environment. Because they are essentially zero-emission, they are also exempt from traffic restrictions. 3. High efficiency: New energy vehicles generally adopt new technologies and structures, making them more efficient.

What are the effects of running out of windshield washer fluid?

The effects of running out of windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Increased resistance: This will cause greater resistance on the wiper blades, potentially damaging the wiper motor over time. 2. Glass damage: Prolonged dry wiping can damage the windshield, potentially causing scratches that reduce visibility. 3. Impaired vision: Scratching the glass may obstruct the driver's view, increasing accident risks. There are two types of windshield washer fluids: 1. Liquid washer fluid: First pour in the washer concentrate, then add plenty of water to ensure thorough mixing. Washer fluid is typically blue, and the mixture should appear light blue. Too high a concentration may create excessive foam during spraying, obstructing visibility. 2. Solid washer tablets: The mixing order doesn't matter, with approximately 1 tablet requiring 2-3 liters of water.

What Causes a Car Not to Start When the Battery Has Power?

Car not starting but the battery has power could be due to a damaged fuel pump or excessive carbon buildup on the spark plugs. Below are related explanations about why a car may not start: Damaged Fuel Pump: As the most fundamental component in the engine's fuel supply system, a damaged fuel pump can prevent the car from starting or make it difficult to start when attempting to turn on the vehicle. Excessive Carbon Buildup on Spark Plugs: Spark plugs are also one of the key components for car starting. Generally, spark plugs need to be replaced after about 60,000 kilometers. Carbon buildup on spark plugs, engine oil burning, or incomplete combustion can lead to black oil deposits on the spark plugs, preventing them from igniting properly. In severe cases, this can directly cause the car not to start, necessitating spark plug replacement.

What Causes an Engine to Idle at an Abnormally High Speed?

An engine idling at an abnormally high speed can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Fuel Injection System: Insufficient fuel system pressure or clogged fuel injectors leading to poor atomization can cause idling issues. Check if the fuel filter is clogged or dirty, and replace it if any abnormalities are found. Inspect whether the fuel pressure regulator is functioning properly, then check the fuel pressure. The normal fuel pressure should be between 250kpa and 300kpa. 2. Idle Control System: A dirty or stuck idle control valve or a broken control circuit can prevent the engine from increasing idle speed as commanded by the computer. If the air intake cannot meet the load requirements, it may result in idling issues or stalling.

Can You Sleep in a Car with the Engine Off?

You can sleep in a car with the engine off. Here are some precautions to consider when sleeping in a car: 1. Ensure proper ventilation and warmth: Slightly open a window or door. However, it is not recommended to sleep in a new car due to the presence of harmful substances like formaldehyde in the leather and fabrics, which can be carcinogenic. 2. If sleeping with the engine idling and the air conditioning on, never use the recirculation mode: Incomplete fuel combustion produces carbon monoxide, which can accumulate inside the car and lead to fatal poisoning. It is advisable to partially open a window to allow air circulation. 3. Take a break of at least 20 minutes after driving for 4 hours: However, do not stop and sleep on the emergency lane of a highway, as this can lead to rear-end collisions.
