Points will be deducted for not using turn signals while driving. The relevant traffic regulations regarding the use of turn signals are as follows: 1. According to Article 57, Items 1 and 2 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicles shall use turn signals as follows: (1) When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal shall be activated in advance; (2) When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal shall be activated in advance. 2. By default (e.g., when changing lanes or turning), failure to use turn signals constitutes a violation of not using lights as required. According to Article 5, Item 1 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" ("Point Deduction Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations"): Failure to use lights as required may result in a fine of 20-200 RMB and a deduction of 1 point from the driving license. 3. According to Article 47 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When overtaking, motor vehicles shall activate the left turn signal in advance and switch between high and low beams or sound the horn. According to Article 57, Items 1 and 2 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles shall use turn signals as specified. 4. Failure to use turn signals in specified situations results in a deduction of 1 point and typically a fine of 200 RMB. If a driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driving license, and the driver must participate in road traffic safety law and regulation training and take an exam as required.
