Will I Get Penalty Points for Not Using Turn Signals at Intersections?
1 Answers
Not using turn signals at intersections will result in penalty points. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 47: When overtaking, motor vehicles should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or sound the horn. On roads without a center line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, when the vehicle in front receives an overtaking signal from the vehicle behind, it should slow down and move to the right to give way if conditions permit. The vehicle behind should overtake from the left side of the vehicle in front after confirming a sufficient safe distance, and after maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane. Article 57: Motor vehicles should use turn signals as follows: when turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal should be turned on in advance; when turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal should be turned on in advance.
