Will points be deducted for motorcycles crossing solid lines?
3 Answers
Motorcycles crossing solid lines will incur a 3-point deduction. Below are additional details: Situations where crossing solid lines does not result in point deductions: Yielding to emergency vehicles: When encountering fire trucks or other emergency vehicles performing duties on the road, crossing solid lines to yield will not be penalized. Even if captured as a violation, the owner can appeal to traffic authorities after receiving the ticket by explaining the circumstances. Relevant departments will review based on surveillance footage and the emergency vehicle's route that day, and penalties may be revoked upon approval. Sudden road incidents: When severe accidents or vehicle breakdowns ahead cause prolonged road blockages, rear vehicles crossing solid lines to detour to avoid further congestion are generally not considered intentional violations and thus not penalized.
I often ride a motorcycle to go out, and indeed, crossing solid lines will result in penalty points. Nowadays, there are many electronic surveillance cameras, especially at busy intersections, where the risk of motorcycles being caught crossing solid lines is very high. Typically, this offense will result in a deduction of 1 point and a fine ranging from 100 to 200 yuan, though standards may vary by region. The purpose of solid lines is to demarcate lanes and ensure orderly traffic flow. Crossing them arbitrarily is not only illegal but also prone to causing accidents. I once witnessed a motorcycle crossing a solid line to change lanes and getting rear-ended by a car behind it, which was quite dangerous. When riding, it's best to plan your route in advance to avoid last-minute lane changes—this ensures both safety and avoids penalty points. Developing good driving habits is truly essential.
As a long-time rider, I know that motorcycles crossing solid lines will incur penalty points. The regulations are clear: crossing any solid line constitutes a violation of prohibited markings, and a 1-point deduction is unavoidable. Last time I was in a hurry and accidentally crossed a solid line, which was clearly captured by an electronic eye, costing me a 200-yuan lesson. These solid lines often appear near intersections, and crossing them can also interfere with the camera's license plate recognition. It's advisable to start paying attention to the ground markings more than a hundred meters before the intersection and follow the lane arrows for safety. When riding a motorcycle, never rush for speed or time—safety and compliance are paramount.
