A car driver recently shared his experience. He said that during driving, he had to cross the solid line to change lanes to avoid due to the sudden stop of the car in front of him. However, he later received a traffic violation notice and was deducted 3 points. The driver felt aggrieved because he believed he was avoiding the vehicle in front of him and had not committed a traffic violation.
Regarding the driver's situation, the traffic police department responded: If you don't know the law, you will be fined next time!So, what's going on?The traffic police explained that although it is indeed an emergency for the car in front to stop suddenly, it is illegal for the rear car to change lanes by compacting the line. According to traffic laws, solid lines are signs used to distinguish traffic flow in different directions, and changing lanes on a compacted line is considered a violation of traffic sign instructions and is punishable by fines or demerit points.
In this regard, the traffic police department gave a detailed explanation. Traffic regulations clearly stipulate that in the case of parking in the event of a breakdown of the vehicle in front, the vehicle behind should reduce its speed to avoid, and if it is unable to avoid, it should pass through the intersection or choose other roads to detour under the premise of ensuring safety. Therefore, the act of changing lanes by the rear vehicle compacting the line violates traffic laws and should be punished.
So, how should we respond reasonably in a similar situation?First of all, if the car in front suddenly stops, we should stay calm and not panic. Secondly, we should observe the surrounding environment, if there are no vehicles on both sides of the solid line or the vehicles are far away, we can slowly change lanes under the premise of ensuring safety, and save the relevant evidence. However, if the vehicle is close or there is no opportunity to change lanes safely, we should keep the lane and wait for the vehicle in front to move away before proceeding.
For what happened to this netizen, Dapeng expressed regret. Although this netizen is driving while avoiding the car in front, the act of changing lanes on the compacted line is still illegal, because it may affect the normal driving of other vehicles and increase the risk of traffic accidents. Therefore, if you encounter a similar situation next time, you should reduce your speed to avoid it, or choose a different road to detour on the premise of ensuring safety.
In addition, for those motorists who often encounter similar situations, they should learn the relevant provisions of traffic laws and Xi regulations in advance so that they can make correct judgments and deal with them in case of emergencies. At the same time, drivers should also improve their safety awareness, pay attention to road conditions and traffic signs, and do not violate traffic rules due to negligence.
In general, traffic rules are there to ensure the safety and smooth flow of road traffic. Although we sometimes encounter emergencies, this does not excuse us from violating traffic rules. It is only by constantly learning Xi and obeying traffic rules that we can better protect ourselves and others.
