Will I be penalized for driving without headlights and crossing the line at night in Guangzhou?

Driving without headlights at night generally does not result in penalties. However, crossing the line while driving typically violates the prohibition of driving over marked lines, which incurs a fine of 200 RMB and a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license. Below are the relevant details. Crossing white lines while driving: White solid lines are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction and are usually marked before traffic lights at intersections. Many drivers who are caught violating traffic rules by crossing lines are typically crossing these types of markings. Several situations where motor vehicles violate the prohibition of marked lines: Crossing or driving over single or double solid yellow lines during travel. Parking temporarily or for an extended period in no-parking zones. Making U-turns in areas where they are prohibited, turning left at intersections where left turns are forbidden, all constitute violations of the prohibition of marked lines. Prohibited markings include solid yellow lines on the ground and no-parking signs; driving over them constitutes a violation. Failing to follow the directional markings on the road at intersections and driving in the wrong lane also constitutes a violation of the prohibition of marked lines.
