Will points be deducted for driving against regulations?

Points will be deducted for driving against regulations. Here is relevant information about point deduction: Scoring cycle: Driving license points are reset to zero after 12 months. The scoring cycle of a driving license is calculated from the date of first obtaining the license, with one cycle lasting 12 months and a full score of 12 points, and so on in continuous cycles. Handling method: You can handle traffic violations with 11 points or less (including 11 points) through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123". Alternatively, you can go to the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority to handle it, but you need to bring your vehicle license and driving license.
The other day I was in a hurry on the highway and couldn't resist using the emergency lane, only to get caught by a traffic camera. The next day, I received a text notification: 6 points deducted and a 200-yuan fine. Actually, driving against regulations will definitely result in point deductions—it just depends on how severe the violation is. For example, crossing a solid line to change lanes in the city usually costs 2 points, while making an illegal left turn where prohibited will deduct 3 points. What's even scarier is when novice drivers go the wrong way or reverse on the highway—that’s an instant 12-point deduction and license suspension. Now, I drive extra carefully, preferring to take a detour rather than risk breaking the rules. After all, a driver's license only has 12 points in total, and retaking the written test is such a hassle.
As a commuter who spends two hours on the road every day, I've seen too many examples of drivers being penalized for violating traffic rules. Last week, a neighbor in my community was fined 3 points for driving in the bus lane. He complained that he only drove there for five minutes during the morning traffic jam. From my observations, the most common penalty is for not following the designated lane markings, such as going straight from a left-turn lane or forcing a left turn from a straight lane, which typically results in a 2-point deduction. Additionally, driving in non-motorized vehicle lanes usually incurs at least a 3-point penalty, especially during peak hours when traffic police enforce the rules strictly. I recommend paying close attention to road markings and roadside signs while driving, and keeping the navigation system's traffic violation alerts turned on. After all, fines are minor, but accumulating 12 points means attending a seven-day theoretical training course.
