Will points be deducted for forgetting to use the turn signal when turning right?

Forgetting to use the turn signal when turning right will result in point deduction. Failure to use the turn signal when making a turn in a motor vehicle will incur a fine and a deduction of 1 point. The turn signal must be activated during vehicle turns, flashing intermittently to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. Below are traffic violations that result in a 1-point deduction: 1. Operating a motor vehicle without using lights as required. 2. Operating a motor vehicle without proper meeting etiquette as required. 3. Operating a motor vehicle with cargo exceeding the prescribed length, width, or height. 4. Driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying the inspection compliance mark or insurance mark, or without carrying the vehicle license or driver's license.
I've been driving for over a decade and made countless right turns in the city. Forgetting to use the turn signal has happened a few times, and it really can result in penalty points. I remember once when a traffic camera caught me turning right without signaling - I was fined 200 yuan and got 1 penalty point, which put me in a terrible mood. More seriously, it compromises safety; pedestrians or cyclists won't know you're turning without the signal, increasing accident risks. I constantly remind myself to activate the signal about 100 meters in advance - making it a habit helps avoid trouble. After receiving penalty points, insurance premiums might increase too, so small details matter. Driving is a responsibility - following rules isn't just about avoiding penalties, but protecting yourself and others. Safety first ensures worry-free journeys.
