The Spring Festival is the biggest festival in China, wanderers from far away get together, not far away to embark on the journey home, the New Year is warm and lively, but on the way home he encountered new problems.
In order to make the people happier, the country will implement free high-speed rail on every major holiday, and the Spring Festival is no exception. This year's Spring Festival high-speed rail is free from 0:00 on February 9 to 24:00 on February 17, for 9 days.
During these nine days, the highway is free of tolls for vehicles, but beyond this time, even the full fare is charged for an additional second.
So, on the last day of the return trip, there are so many cars on the highway that everyone has to get off the highway before 12 noon, so that you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars, which is very good.
I'm worried about traffic jams on the road. At 7 o'clock in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, I set off, and around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I returned home, saving nearly 400 yuan in tolls, in other words, I am very grateful to the state for this policy of benefiting the people.
When I got home, I saw that many netizens were still on the highway, and it seemed that everyone hoped to get off the highway before midnight and save a sum of money.
A netizen from Anhui rushed to the last minute at high speed and shouted with great interest:"Kari saved more than two thousand points. It's a really nice feeling of nervousness and excitement.
Save $2,000 per minute. That's right"Time is money! "
In Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, a driver was asked to pay the full toll fee for not leaving the highway in his free time and got into an argument with a toll booth worker.
* Toll booth staff warns at the last minute: one minute left, one minute more. However, there are still many vehicles on the highway, and there are not a few who have successfully issued cards without a single card point.
One of the drivers shouted"Is this how you use other people's money to generate income for yourself? I would like to know how much money you spent while working?
This paragraph was quickly searched, and many netizens left messages in the comment area:
A netizen from Fujian said: Don't worry! If you miss the time to get off the expressway, you can park in the service area and wait for May 1.
This is obviously a joke, because there is a demurrage charge for overtime on the highway, so the cost will only be higher.
A netizen from Yunnan said:"I'm like this, stuck in time against time, accelerated in the last ten seconds to punch the card, and successfully punched the card in the last 3 seconds, saving 1800 high-speed fees, but was damaged by the Mercedes-Benz front behind 370,000 yuan.
It seems that sometimes a successful joke can be a bad thing.
A netizen from Zhejiang said: At 22:30, he got off the high-speed rail, then walked more than 100 kilometers, and finally charged 48 yuan for the high-speed fee, saving 900 yuan.
A netizen from Guangdong was so angry with the toll that he couldn't eat or sleep because he paid 1,856 yuan in nine seconds.
There are also netizens who paid more than 1,000 yuan because their wives were a few minutes late for going to the toilet, and they didn't have time to recharge at the last minute, and they are still in a cold war with their wives.
In"Punch in"In the war, the new energy-powered vehicles were criticized again, a netizen said, because of 123:57, the first BYD in line ran out of power, I was the second, and then rushed out of the car and helped out of the team with the third and fourth owners.
In the end, we got it"Punch in"After leaving the highway, they laughed at the BYD owner and almost lost thousands of yuan.
Therefore, if a new energy vehicle is stuck in a toll booth due to a power outage in the past three minutes, meaning that a large number of car owners cannot pass, then it is expected to be affected again in the active search"Reprimand"。
As soon as the clock strikes 24 o'clock, the toll checkpoint on the highway is lowered and you have to pay the full toll to pass.
Many drivers are unable to pass in time due to traffic jams on the highway, and when they are asked to pay in full, they have said"Disagree"。Toll booth staff said they agreed to the toll regulations, and the specific amount was calculated by the system.
Drivers say they can leave the highway early if they have lost their free time due to traffic jams. Since it is a traffic jam, the highway service should take some responsibility instead of collecting the full road tax.
How to collect highway tolls, and whether overtime should be charged after the full amount, is a hot topic among netizens. The network also launched a poll.
If I am delayed from the highway due to traffic jams, do I need to pay for the whole journey?
The current vote is 43%."Yes"，57%"It shouldn't"。
Netizens also offered suggestions, some said: the free design should be changed to the number of hours per car per year, after which the normal rate will be charged, and the holiday traffic jam should be avoided.
Some netizens also said: You don't need a stuck point, you also need a nearby high-speed entry point.
Some netizens also said that the toll standard should not be determined according to the time of leaving the highway, but according to the time of entering the highway, so as not to speed for fear of not being free, that is, getting on and off the highway many times.
These suggestions are good and meritorious, but will they be adopted? Personally, I think it's hard.
First of all, how many free hours per car per year, in fact, this kind of plan has been mentioned before, and the position is not low, he is Tan Wenying, deputy director of the Jiangxi Provincial Market Supervision Bureau and member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
At that time, he suggested that the high-speed free policy should be adjusted to have a fixed number of free days per year, or calculated in hours, so that drivers can make a reasonable trip plan according to their actual situation, avoid inattention and fatigue driving while driving, and reduce the occurrence of accidents.
The advice is good, and it is indeed a good thing for the driver friend, but it also raises some questions.
1. The purpose of the high-speed free holiday is to stimulate consumption, let everyone go out to travel, go out to spend money, empathy, how to stimulate consumption, how to expand domestic demand?
2.Everyone has a free place, and some people will take advantage of the loopholes and do not hesitate to borrow private cars, lend their extra travel time to others, or directly"Sell to others"Isn't this a loophole in the state?
3) Will some private car owners who don't own a private car or don't drive on the highway be envious and jealous, and start complaining online that they can't enjoy this part of the discount?
Therefore, the introduction of policies at the national level is promulgated after repeated arguments by the expert group and the approval of the National People's Congress, rather than having to be changed on a whim or by netizens making a lot of noise on the Internet.
In fact, with the popularity of automobiles, the highway free policy has brought some practical problems and challenges, such as: congestion during the rush hour, some losses on the highway, how to charge more reasonable, etc., the implementation of the policy should take into account many factors, of course, including you, me and him.
Do you think highway toll policy should change? How should this be changed? Please leave a message in the comment section.
