Will I get points deducted for driving straight in a left-turn lane?
1 Answers
Driving straight in a left-turn lane will not result in points deduction, but it may incur a fine. Permissible situations for driving straight: If there is both a left-turn sign and a straight-through sign, you may choose to drive straight; this is not considered a violation. If at an intersection with only a left-turn sign, but when the straight-through signal is green and there are no vehicles in the turn lane, you may temporarily use the turn lane to drive straight, which is not considered a violation. Other situations: If the situation does not fall under the above two cases, then it is considered a violation, categorized as driving in an incorrect lane. Typically, this will result in a certain fine but no points deduction.
