Will turning on the sidewalk result in penalty points?
2 Answers
Turning on the sidewalk is considered a violation of prohibition signs or markings, which will result in a 3-point penalty. Below are precautions for motor vehicle driving: 1. Follow instructions when passing intersections: According to China's Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicles must pass intersections in accordance with traffic signals, signs, markings, or the direction of traffic police. 2. Slow down at intersections: When passing intersections without traffic signals, signs, markings, or traffic police direction, drivers should slow down and yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way.
I've been driving for many years, and that time when I accidentally drove over the pedestrian crossing line while turning in the city center, I got caught by an electronic eye and lost three points. This incident made me deeply realize the importance of traffic rules. Pedestrian crossings are specifically for pedestrians, and vehicles should only drive in motor vehicle lanes. Driving over the line or occupying non-motor vehicle lanes while turning is considered illegal. According to the Road Traffic Law, such behavior is regarded as illegal lane occupation or violation, usually resulting in a deduction of three to five points and a fine of over 200 yuan. In daily driving, we should all develop the habit of observing road signs and ground markings, maintaining a reasonable turning radius to avoid crossing lines. This not only prevents penalties but also ensures pedestrian safety. Like me later, I always turn slowly, check the rearview mirror to ensure safety before entering the intersection. Urban road monitoring is particularly strict, so don't invite big trouble for small mistakes. Remembering the details of the rules can save a lot of trouble.
