Will the electronic eye capture driving over a single yellow line?

At any location equipped with electronic surveillance, the violation of driving over a single yellow line will be captured. Relevant explanations are as follows: Introduction: Whether it is a single or double solid yellow line, neither should be crossed or driven over. Typically, traffic violation captures include automatic electronic surveillance as well as manual captures by traffic police, so extra caution is advised. Double solid yellow lines: Double solid yellow lines serve the same purpose as single solid yellow lines, used to separate lanes of opposing traffic directions, and neither should be crossed or driven over. Since double lines are present on both sides of two or more lanes, the density of electronic surveillance installations is higher for double lines compared to single lines.
I've been driving for over a decade and have been caught crossing single yellow lines several times. It's really something you can't afford to be careless about. A single yellow line means no crossing is allowed, and some intersections are equipped with high-definition cameras specifically to catch this, especially during rush hours when traffic is heavy. I remember once queuing in the left-turn lane downtown, in a hurry to get to work, I slightly crossed the line to change lanes, and was caught clearly on camera, resulting in a three-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. Since then, I've learned my lesson—I'd rather wait a few extra minutes than take the risk, as safety comes first. Nowadays, traffic camera technology is becoming more advanced, capable of even identifying the proportion of the vehicle crossing the line. Veteran drivers should never take chances.
