Will points be deducted for crossing the diversion line when changing lanes?
1 Answers
Points will be deducted, specifically three points. The diversion line is a prohibited marking used to indicate that vehicles must drive along the designated route and are not allowed to cross or drive over the line. If a vehicle crosses or drives over the diversion line, the police can impose a penalty of "warning and deducting 3 points" on the driver. Here is more related information: Purpose of the diversion line: The purpose of the diversion line is to ensure that every vehicle "stays in its lane," serving to regulate, guide, and warn traffic, thereby reducing traffic accidents. Diversion lines are mainly used at intersections that are too wide, irregular, or have complex driving conditions, at the entrance of ramps for overpasses, or at other special locations. The form of the diversion line at intersections is usually one or several white V-shaped lines or diagonal striped areas set according to the terrain of the intersection, indicating that vehicles must bypass the diversion line as required, and are not allowed to cross or drive over the line, nor to make U-turns or park arbitrarily within the diversion line area.
