Will points be deducted for crossing the line at a traffic light?
1 Answers
Normally, crossing the solid white line at a traffic light intersection, if caught by electronic police or traffic police on the spot, will result in a penalty of 3 points deducted and a fine of 200 yuan. However, under special circumstances, lane changing by crossing the line is allowed if it does not affect the driving of other vehicles. Evidence (such as dashcam footage) should be preserved to potentially cancel the penalty through administrative reconsideration in the future. Tips on illegal lane changing: 1. Points deduction: Illegal lane changing on regular roads results in a 3-point deduction per violation, while on highways, it results in a 12-point deduction per violation. 2. Liability: If an accident is caused by illegal lane changing, the violator usually bears full or primary responsibility, as determined by the accident liability assessment report.
