Will I definitely be fined and penalized for going straight in a turning lane?

Going straight in a turning lane constitutes driving not in accordance with the prescribed lane and will result in penalty points. Additional information on going straight in a turning lane is as follows: 1. When both turning and going straight have a green light, going straight in a turning lane is considered not following the designated direction, resulting in a fine and 2 penalty points. 2. When going straight has a green light but turning has a red light, going straight in a turning lane is treated as running a red light, resulting in a fine and 6 penalty points. 3. A combined lane for going straight and turning only allows vehicles to go straight or turn left or right, so vehicles going straight waiting in the combined lane for the green light are not in violation. However, it is best not to occupy this straight lane to allow other turning vehicles more efficient passage.
