On December 4, 2023, the Huangmei section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway. During a routine patrol at night, the traffic police found a large truck parked in the emergency lane, and less than 10 meters behind, a man dressed in black was waving a tree branch to signal the oncoming car to avoid. The traffic police immediately stopped to protect themselves and stepped forward to check the situation.
It turned out that the man was driving here, and the left front wheel suddenly burst a tire, and he could not find the warning triangle in the car for a while, so he casually broke a tree branch on the side of the road to act as a pawn. However, it was late at night, and the branches not only did not reflect the light, but also could not serve as a warning, and could also affect the safety of other vehicles.
The traffic police gave them safety education, and dealt with them in accordance with the law for failing to set up warning signs in accordance with the regulations after the vehicle broke down.
Traffic police remind:The majority of car owners must be equipped with a warning triangle on the car, in case of a breakdown or traffic accident when driving out, the warning sign should be set up immediately in the rear according to the regulations, and the personnel on the car should all be transferred to a safe area, and then call the police for help!Using non-reflective items as warning signs, and the warning signs are not placed far enough, they cannot play a warning role, and there is still a great possibility of causing harm to themselves and others!
