Will points be deducted for not using turn signals when turning at traffic lights?

[LeMadelyn]

Failing to use turn signals when turning at traffic lights will result in a 1-point deduction. By default (such as when changing lanes or turning), not using turn signals violates the regulation on proper use of vehicle lights. According to Article 5, Clause 1 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations" in the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": failure to use lights as required may result in a fine and a 1-point deduction from the driver's license. The "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: Article 47: When overtaking, motor vehicles should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or sound the horn. On roads without a centerline or with only one lane in the same direction, if the leading vehicle receives an overtaking signal from the following vehicle, it should slow down and move to the right to give way when conditions permit. The following vehicle should overtake from the left side of the leading vehicle after confirming a sufficient safe distance and turn on the right turn signal before returning to the original lane after maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle. Article 57: Motor vehicles should use turn signals as follows: when turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal should be turned on in advance; when turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal should be turned on in advance.
