Got my first traffic ticket in China, the endless AI cameras are all knowing and all seeing, you can’t dodge them. Was fined 100 RMB (~$14) for crossing a white line from the straight turn lane into the right turn lane. The local government was kind enough to text me about it

you turned right from that straight lane, isnt it? you didnt just cross any white line but in addition turned right there as the next step.

The violation was for “机动车通过有灯控路口时，不按所需行进方向

驶入导向车道”.

There are various ways to translate it, but basically the AI detected I was in a go straight lane and then detected my right turn. My friend who was in the car at the time told me that the violation is given when you illegally cross the solid white lane dividers.

Luckily I only got a fine, no points deducted. Illegal right turns are 3 points deducted, running a red light is 6 points, get 12 points in one year and you lose your license and have to go to driving school to get it back.
