Will I be fined and penalized for driving over the guide line when exiting the highway?

Driving over the guide line when exiting the highway will result in fines and penalty points. Here is the relevant information: Guide line: The guide line is a type of prohibition marking used to indicate that vehicles must follow the designated route and must not drive over or cross the line. Driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or markings will result in a 3-point penalty. Prohibition marking violation: A prohibition marking violation refers to driving in a manner that violates the prohibition markings, such as changing lanes over a solid line. Violating prohibition markings refers to illegal actions committed by motor vehicles while driving. Making a U-turn in a no-U-turn zone or turning left where it is prohibited are both considered violations of prohibition markings. Prohibition markings include the solid yellow line in the middle of the road (indicating no crossing of the median) and the large yellow X (indicating no parking). Driving over these lines constitutes a violation of prohibition markings.
Oh, I have a lot to say about crossing the diversion lines. As a driver with over a decade of experience on highways, I can tell you that you will definitely be fined. Diversion lines are specifically designed to guide vehicles safely off the highway. If you cross them, not only will you be caught by surveillance cameras, but you'll also face a 200-yuan fine and 3 penalty points. I've personally witnessed accidents caused by drivers forcing their way across these lines, nearly colliding with lane-changing vehicles—it's extremely dangerous. Remember, you should start slowing down, signaling, and moving to the right lane one or two kilometers before exiting the highway. Don’t wait until the last moment. Otherwise, accumulating too many penalty points could affect your driver's license, and worse, if an accident occurs, you’ll be held fully responsible—it’s just not worth it. Pay attention to road signs and speed limits regularly, and develop good driving habits to stay safe.
