Will driving over the line in the rain be captured by traffic cameras?

Driving over the line in the rain might be captured by traffic cameras, but you can file an administrative reconsideration with the traffic police department, informing them that the reflective markings were unclear due to the rain. Below is an introduction to traffic markings: 1. White dashed lines: When painted in the middle of a road section, they are used to separate traffic moving in the same direction or as a safe driving distance indicator; when painted at intersections, they guide vehicle movement. 2. White solid lines: When painted in the middle of a road section, they separate motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles moving in the same direction or indicate the edge of a lane; when painted at intersections, they can serve as guide lane lines or stop lines. 3. Yellow dashed lines: When painted in the middle of a road section, they separate opposing traffic flows; when painted on the roadside or curbs, they prohibit long-term parking by the roadside.

I've been driving for over a decade, and personal experience proves that crossing the line in rainy weather will definitely be captured. That day, the rain was pouring heavily, and visibility was so poor that the road markings were unclear. Unintentionally, I crossed a solid line, and a few weeks later, I received a ticket with a photo clearly showing the moment. Later, I asked a friend and learned that nowadays, camera technology is advanced, equipped with waterproof covers and infrared compensation functions. They can easily capture violations in light rain and may still operate normally in heavy rain—don't think bad weather can cover up violations. In fact, crossing the line is illegal under any circumstances, not just resulting in fines but also posing greater dangers, as slippery roads in the rain can easily lead to skidding and accidents. I recommend everyone slow down in rainy conditions, not exceeding 40 kilometers per hour, stay focused on the road, turn on headlights and wipers, maintain a safe distance, and avoid distractions like using phones or listening to music to prevent accidents. Developing good habits can save a lot of trouble.

I know a lot about vehicle monitoring equipment, and I can tell you that running over the line on rainy days is highly likely to be captured. The cameras are designed to be highly reliable, featuring rainproof housings and automatic cleaning systems. Light or moderate rain doesn’t affect the clarity of the images at all. In heavy rain, if the raindrops are too dense and visibility drops, the photos might not be as clear, but most urban traffic monitoring systems are tested to function normally even in harsh weather. From a technical perspective, infrared lenses can penetrate rain and fog to capture the details of line violations. For safety, don’t try your luck on rainy days—the consequences of crossing the line aren’t just fines; wet and slippery roads increase the risk of collisions. I recommend keeping your windshield clean, using anti-fog agents to reduce condensation, and staying focused to avoid being caught or getting into accidents. Learning some technical knowledge is helpful, but don’t overcomplicate it.

I'm particularly concerned about everyone's safety. Driving over the line on rainy days isn't just about whether you'll be caught on camera; the core issue is the significant safety risk. With wet roads, crossing the line can cause loss of tire control, increasing the chances of skidding or even rolling over. While cameras usually work fine in the rain to capture violations, what's truly terrifying is the potential for accidents, not just tickets. I remember one rainy day when I saw a car cross the line and slam on the brakes, nearly causing a rear-end collision. My advice for driving in the rain: slow down, turn on your lights to improve visibility, and follow the lane markings steadily. Don't risk crossing the line to save time—following the rules is crucial for survival, a lesson I've learned from experience. Keep it simple: drive slowly, stay focused, and avoid tricks.
