Will turning right from the left lane result in penalty points?

Turning right from the left lane will result in penalty points. According to regulations, this traffic violation is punishable by a deduction of 2 points. Irregular traffic violations: There are three main types of violations for not following the designated lane directions: borrowing the left-turn lane when going straight, borrowing the straight lane when making a left turn, and making a right turn arbitrarily from either the left-turn or straight lane. Correct driving practices: When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals and with marked directional lanes, it must enter the appropriate lane based on the intended direction of travel. If a vehicle going straight enters a left-turn or right-turn lane, electronic surveillance will immediately capture the violation.

Oh, this is a very common question. I used to make the same mistake when driving. Making a right turn from the left lane will definitely result in penalty points because traffic rules clearly state that each lane has directional arrows—the left lane is usually for going straight or turning left, while the right lane is for turning right. Turning right from the left lane is like playing checkers in the wrong lane, which can easily lead to accidents. If caught by the police or traffic cameras, you’ll get 2 penalty points and possibly a fine of 100 to 200 yuan. I remember once at an intersection, I took a shortcut and turned right from the left lane, and within two weeks, I received a violation text message. It scared me so much that I rushed to handle it. Now I’ve learned my lesson—I always check road signs before turning and move to the right lane in time. Especially during rush hour when the roads are crowded and chaotic, safety comes first. I recommend that new drivers practice lane changes more often—don’t take shortcuts, and forming good habits is key.

Right after I got my driver's license, I made such a silly mistake while driving in the city. Making a right turn from the left lane? Definitely points deducted! I didn't notice the guiding arrows at the time and thought the road was wide enough to turn right, but the next day I was notified of the violation. Not only did I have to pay the fine, but my license was also deducted 2 points, which really hurt. Later, when I studied the traffic rules, I learned that the left lane is reserved for vehicles going straight or turning left, and right turns should be made in the dedicated lane. Otherwise, it's considered not driving in the correct lane, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Especially now with surveillance cameras everywhere, there's no escaping them. To be safe, I now use navigation apps to remind myself to check intersection rules before driving—safe driving is so important. I recommend everyone also refer to traffic rule apps to avoid such basic mistakes.

As a parent who often picks up and drops off kids, making a right turn from the left lane is extremely dangerous! It will result in penalty points—simply put, it's a violation of lane rules and can easily lead to scrapes or serious accidents. Traffic police frequently remind us that turns must follow the directional arrows; making a right turn from the left lane is considered a violation, and if caught by cameras, it will result in fines and penalty points. I've seen many friends fall into this trap—not only does it hurt their wallets, but it also affects their driving records and increases insurance premiums. Fortunately, some smart cars now come with lane reminder systems that can alert you. Remember, safe driving is no small matter—always check your rearview mirror before turning to ensure a smooth lane change. When my child is in the back seat, I'm even more cautious.
