Will points be deducted for incorrect roundabout driving?

[DelHazel]

Driving against the direction of a roundabout is considered driving in the wrong direction and will result in a 3-point deduction. When driving through a roundabout, the following precautions must be taken: Slow down: Reduce speed 50-100 meters before the roundabout and adjust speed according to traffic conditions. Merge appropriately: Observe the movement of vehicles already in the roundabout from the left and merge at an appropriate time, slowing down or stopping if necessary. Turn on the turn signal in advance: Activate the right turn signal before exiting the roundabout, paying attention to the movement of vehicles and pedestrians on the right. Change to the outer lane before exiting: In roundabouts with two or more lanes, the inner lane is the fast lane and the outer lane is the slow lane. Before exiting, first change to the outer lane and then exit the roundabout. It is strictly prohibited to exit directly from the inner lane. After exiting the roundabout: Turn off the turn signal after exiting the roundabout.

I've been driving for over a decade, and making mistakes when navigating roundabouts can indeed result in penalty points, as clearly stipulated by traffic regulations. Once when I was in a hurry, I didn't wait for vehicles on the right to yield at the roundabout entrance and rushed in directly. As a result, I was stopped by the police for failing to yield the right of way and was immediately penalized with 2 points and a 150-yuan fine. Common mistakes like not using turn signals, occupying the wrong lane, or speeding into the roundabout can all lead to fines, with penalty points ranging between 1 to 3 points. Novices should especially be cautious during peak hours when roundabouts can become chaotic. Slowing down and carefully observing vehicles from all directions can help avoid these issues. Penalty points aren't just about the hassle of fines; they also affect your driving record. So, I recommend developing the habit of paying attention to traffic signals and maintaining patience while driving. Getting these small details right benefits both your safety and others'. Don't make the same mistake I did—I regretted it for quite a while.

As someone who frequently studies traffic regulations, I know that incorrect roundabout navigation can lead to penalty points. According to traffic laws, failing to yield to pedestrians or vehicles with priority in a roundabout is considered a violation, with the standard penalty being 2 points deducted and a 200 yuan fine. Not using turn signals or improperly changing lanes at exits are also common offenses that result in penalties. When driving, I always remember that roundabouts are designed to divert traffic and avoid congestion, but driving incorrectly only adds to the chaos and risks. I recommend watching more traffic videos to learn proper yielding rules, such as giving priority to the inner lane. The penalty point system is in place to encourage safety, so don't take it lightly. In actual driving, the error rate in roundabouts is high, especially during rainy days when the road is slippery and accidents are more likely to occur. Following the rules is simple and cost-effective—why not do it?

I've been learning to drive for just over half a year and always worry about making mistakes at roundabouts that could lead to penalty points. My instructor emphasized that violations like failing to yield to vehicles from the left could result in 1-2 penalty points plus fines. Once I forgot to signal when exiting – though I wasn't caught, the thought still makes me nervous. Penalty points are real, as traffic police or cameras can issue penalties anytime. As a beginner, I believe practicing roundabout techniques like 'slow in, fast out' can reduce errors. The core roundabout rule concerns right-of-way priority – getting it wrong may cause conflicts where penalty points would be the least concern, with accidents being far worse. Now I always check entrance signals in advance to ensure safety.
