There's no rule that you have to follow the lines, they're there purely as a guide, a reference for pilots to know where the center of the taxi lane is. Following it is at a pilot's discretion, to be deviated from at any point. Generally you follow the line because it's easy and it should keep you out of trouble, common reasons for deviating are:


Obstructions: vehicles, people, debris
