In this vast land of our country, the highway winds like a dragon, connecting every city and every corner. On the highway, in fact, there is an "overtime fee", I don't know if you know, if you don't understand, let's find out together.
The incident took place on such a highway. Here, for every vehicle that passes, there is a certain amount of money to be paid for this journey - about 05 yuan per kilometer. While these expenses may seem insignificant, they add up to a significant amount of money for private car owners who drive long distances.
Mr. Li, an ordinary car owner. During a night drive, he stopped in the high-speed service area and decided to take a nap. But who would have thought that this sleep would be a whole night. When he woke up early in the morning and hurriedly continued his journey, he was told at the toll booth that he would have to pay an extra 1,000 yuan. This shocked and puzzled Mr. Li: Why do you have to pay such a high fee just because you are resting in the service area?
This unexpected charge is due to a highway regulation that requires a "overtime fee" if the vehicle is in the highway network for more than 24 hours, or on the same route for more than 12 hours. This regulation was intended to combat fare evasion, but in some cases, it has become a punishment for ordinary drivers.
For Mr. Lee, this expense was undoubtedly a blow to his journey. The cost of this road, which he often walks, is usually around 800 yuan, and this time the additional cost is difficult for him to accept. His confusion is also the confusion of many car owners: why would a regulation set up to prevent fare evasion become a punishment for drivers who take normal breaks?Some car owners also said: How to calculate if there is a traffic jam?
Many car owners like Mr. Li are not aware of the "highway overtime fee". It is true that driving at night is easy to get tired, and rest is necessary, even as stipulated by traffic laws. But such a regulation seems to ignore the actual needs of the driver.
Summary
It is not difficult to see that the regulations of the highway need to be considered more humanely. For drivers like Mr. Li who are resting in the service area due to fatigue, should there be a more reasonable way to charge?Should the safety and health of drivers be taken into account, rather than blindly enforcing the rules?
Yes, rules are necessary, they ensure the proper functioning and safety of the road. However, in practice, we also need to give sufficient understanding and appropriate adjustments to special circumstances. This is not only responsible for the driver, but also responsible for road safety.
We call on the relevant authorities to take more into account the actual situation when formulating and implementing policies and to avoid a "one-size-fits-all" approach. At the same time, we also hope that every driver can be more aware of the relevant regulations of the highway to avoid similar situations.
In this era of rapid development, each of us is a member of this highway. Let's work together to build more reasonable and humane road rules.
