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

Glad to see they cared enough to text you about it. Anything for safety 😂

In reality this is so stupid but at least the fine is cheap. Surprised it not like $100+

200 RMB is a lot for many Chinese workers. A taxi driver may need ~6 hours to earn that, one ticket can wipe out a day. Minimum wage is ~21 RMB/hour, so 200 RMB is roughly a full day’s work for a street sweeper or store clerk.
