The latest round of cold spells has swept through many provinces, and many cities have experienced moderate to heavy snowfall; As a result, snow on the road is an unavoidable problem, and the snow that passes through several rounds of vehicle grinding will turn into ice. It always takes time to de-ice the road, and many road sections cannot be de-iced in time, and the result is naturally that many vehicles are "swaying together" on the road.
Under the premise that it is already out of control, will the vehicle be penalized if it has a driving violation?
In the face of icy roads, there will often be stopping, changing lanes, crossing the line, etc., which is the result of uncontrollability, and it is not that the driver subjectively wants to drive illegally; Therefore, if this situation is also punished according to traffic violations, then it is really impossible to drive in the snow. If the family car does not drive on the road, it has not had much impact, but if the commercial transport model does not drive on the road, then the logistics and urban transportation will be suspended; Therefore, this situation is not punished, or because of force majeure factors caused by traffic violations in principle is not punished, road surface ice belongs to the force majeure factors in traffic meteorological conditions, due to road surface ice and loss of accurate control of the vehicle caused by traffic violations are generally not punished.
However, it cannot be subjectively illegal driving, for example, it is illegal to stop the car when it is clear that it is possible to stop the car, at best, it is only to cross the line and park, but the driver chooses to run a red light.
Theory and reality are often in conflict, but they are highly compatible on this issue.
Taking the author's experience as a reference, in recent years, when encountering heavy snow and icy roads, the most embarrassing situation is that the car is stuck at the intersection and the car can't drive away at all; However, at this time, the green light for turning left has been extinguished, and strictly speaking, it is already a violation. But not only was this process not recorded as a traffic violation, but it didn't take long for a traffic police vehicle to help get out of trouble; In fact, many traffic lights have spherical cameras, referred to as dome machines, dome machines are manually controlled, in case of special circumstances, the background staff will judge and determine whether help is needed.
In addition to icy roads, general illegal driving behaviors will not be recorded in low-visibility scenarios such as water, dust, haze, and heavy rain.
It is also very common for roads to be flooded, and in the summer, I have encountered deep water accumulation in the road.
The water was at the stop line of the opposite lane, and the depth could not be seen by visual inspection, so the author drove directly over; However, after driving for a few meters, it was found that the water was too deep, and if you forced to drive over, it would inevitably damage the vehicle and even encounter a dangerous situation. Eventually, reversing and turning at multiple traffic lights at the same time to ensure safety, this experience was also not recorded, and the cameras at the traffic lights kept flashing.
Summary: Most traffic violations caused by natural factors will not be recorded, as these are force majeure factors; According to the provisions of the Administrative Punishment Law, if the violation is minor and corrected in a timely manner, and at the same time does not cause harmful consequences, the administrative punishment will not be imposed in accordance with the regulations.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about encountering ice and snow roads, all you need to pay attention to is driving safety.
