On the way back from the Spring Festival, when she was stuck in traffic jams on the way, she was bored and reported more than 50 vehicles occupying the emergency lane, which won a reward of 1,500 yuan from the Hunan Highway Police. But netizens seem to scoff at this.
Also in the emergency lane, the driver Yang suddenly became sleepy when he drove to the G75 Lanhai Expressway Qijiang towards Banan, so he parked the vehicle in the emergency lane at will, and then lay down in the car to sleep. As a result, he received a fine of 200 yuan and 9 points on his driver's license.
An emergency lane, there are really a lot of rights and wrongs.
So, how should the emergency lane be used? When is it used? Are there ethical issues involved in reporting a vehicle occupying an emergency lane and receiving a reward for it? Today, let's take a look at the faces of all beings in the emergency lane.
Recently, a woman posted that she and her husband drove back after the holiday, encountered a traffic jam on the way, and reported more than 50 illegal vehicles out of boredom, with a prize of 1,500 yuan.
On February 21, the woman told reporters that on the fifth day of the first lunar month, she and her husband drove back to Shenzhen from Hunan through Xiarong Expressway, and encountered traffic jams on the way, and some vehicles occupied the emergency lane. ”
Regarding the woman's report on the vehicle occupying the emergency lane and receiving a reward for it, some netizens asked in the comment area, "Is this money hot?" in the comment area, and the woman replied, "Don't look at the advice with a high sense of morality." In addition, there is nothing hot about doing things according to the law."
The reporter learned from the Hunan Expressway Police Official Account that illegal parking, occupying emergency lanes, solid line lane changes and other illegal behaviors found in the high-speed section can be reported through the "hand-to-hand" illegal reporting platform, and after the report information is approved, financial rewards will be issued within 30 working days, and the cumulative reward for multiple effective reports by the same whistleblower within a natural month shall not exceed 1500 yuan.
Recently, when the police of the Banan Brigade of the first detachment of the expressway of the Chongqing Traffic Patrol Police Corps patrolled to the Qijiang River of the G75 Lanhai Expressway to Banan, they found that a small ordinary passenger car was parked in the emergency lane of the expressway, and no warning signs were placed behind.
The police immediately stepped forward to check and found that the driver was lying on the seat and sleeping, and the traffic was speeding by, and he was in danger but did not know it. The police knocked on the window to wake up the driver, and after questioning, it was learned that the driver Yang was going to the main city of Chongqing. When driving to this section of the road, he suddenly became sleepy, so he parked his vehicle in the emergency lane at will, and then lay down in the car to sleep.
The police safely guided the vehicle to the exit of the nearest toll station, criticized and educated the driver Yang for illegally occupying the emergency lane for parking, and fined him 200 yuan and 9 points on his driver's license in accordance with the law.
What is an emergency lane? What should be the "emergency" in the emergency lane? How to properly regulate the use of emergency lanes?
Emergency lanes, also known as life passages, refer to lanes that are drawn on both sides of highways, urban expressways and urban ring roads, and are specially used for emergency vehicles such as engineering rescue, fire rescue, medical rescue or police to perform emergency duties. According to the relevant provisions of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicles driving on highways are not allowed to drive or stop in the emergency lane when it is not an emergency.
Waiting for rescue, when the vehicle needs to stop and wait for rescue in a traffic accident or sudden failure, the vehicle can be parked in the emergency lane, and the hazard warning flashing lights can be turned on at the same time, and a warning sign is placed 150 meters away from the direction of the incoming vehicle to warn the rear of the vehicle, and the relevant personnel should immediately evacuate to the guardrail and wait for rescue; Sudden illness, when the passengers in the car suddenly have a life-threatening illness, they can use the emergency lane; For emergency tasks, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles can be used when performing emergency tasks.
Delay in emergency rescue. Arbitrarily occupying the emergency lane will block the vehicles performing emergency tasks such as rescue, and will not be able to arrive at the scene in time to deal with accidents, eliminate dangers, guide, and rescue the wounded, and even cause the serious consequences of the death of the injured and patients due to lack of timely treatment.
Exacerbate road congestion. When a traffic accident occurs in front or encounters a lot of slow driving, some drivers go back and forth in the emergency lane and the driving lane, add congestion, and constantly change lanes, interfering with the normal traffic flow and aggravating the congestion.
It is easy to cause traffic accidents. After some vehicles break down on the highway, they directly park the car on the emergency lane for maintenance; When some drivers are tired, they will park their cars in the emergency lane to rest. The above-mentioned behavior can easily cause the vehicle in the same direction to be unaware of the situation ahead, and it is too late to take braking measures, resulting in traffic accidents such as collisions.
According to Chongqing Legal News, Jimu News, and Changsha TV Political and Legal Channel***
Is it considered a "lack of morality" to report illegal occupation of the highway on the highway? There have been many similar discussions. Some people think that "taking pictures is not virtuous", and also say, "Who drove without walking in the emergency lane?" "You're so bored", more people expressed support: "After all, it is a passage of life" and "I hate people who take the emergency lane the most".
On the one hand, on the highway, some people do take the road to drive improperly, and in case of stranding, they will roar past the emergency lane, completely reckless; On the other hand, most of them follow the rules and are deeply disgusted by the behavior of rushing to the road.
Passing from the emergency lane, which seems "smart", is actually harming the public interest: occupying the emergency lane will have a negative demonstration effect, and once it is imitated, it will interfere with the normal traffic order, increase traffic congestion, and even lead to the obstruction of vehicles performing emergency tasks such as rescue.
Article 82 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that motor vehicles driving on highways shall not drive or stop in the emergency lane when they are not in an emergency. The "Measures for the Management of Demerit Points for Road Traffic Safety Violations" stipulates that if a motor vehicle is driven on a highway or urban expressway and illegally occupies an emergency lane, 6 points will be deducted at a time. This is all to ensure traffic order and safeguard the public interest.
In addition to Hunan, many places across the country also have similar reward reporting methods for highway violations. Since the report of violations is encouraged, this itself is a denial of the violation, and the whistleblower gets a reward, which is a legitimate gain, and there is no reason to lose, and there is no "hot hand".
If it is a proper way to report the occupation of the emergency lane to receive a reward, it is understandable, because this is a move to uphold the rules and public interests, and it cannot be said to be shameful, nor can it be said to damage private morality. Some netizens said that regardless of whether it is motivated by profit or not, it is worth affirming that if you can urge others to consciously abide by traffic rules, there are laws that must be followed in order to effectively reduce the illegal behavior of occupying emergency lanes.
Of course, the kind of report that is purely for profit is not supported by the relevant parties. According to reports, the "shooting" activity aims to mobilize the masses to participate in the maintenance of highway traffic order and create a traffic governance pattern that everyone governs. The Hunan Highway Police reminded that for-profit reporting is not advocated.
These provisions are designed to prevent abuses of the right to report. Therefore, as long as it is a report recognized by the high-speed traffic police, it is natural to get a reward, and there is nothing hot or not hot.
