If you fail to use the turn signal when turning left and are captured by electronic police, your driver's license will be deducted 1 point according to regulations. However, in actual practice, as long as you are not caught on the spot by traffic police, you usually won't be penalized. When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, you should activate the left turn signal in advance. When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, you should activate the right turn signal in advance. When overtaking, you should activate the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or honk the horn. According to Article 5, Item 1 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations" in the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Failure to use lights as required may result in a fine and a deduction of 1 point from the driver's license. Precautions for turning left: Try to make the turn as wide as possible to avoid obstruction or collision with other hazards. Check the rearview mirror when turning to ensure there are no vehicles or pedestrians behind or to the side. Be aware of blind spots when turning to avoid hitting the curb or causing a scrape. Always check for obstacles below the rearview mirror before turning, and if necessary, open the door to look before proceeding.
