In the early morning of February 29, 2024, the police of the 10th detachment of the highway traffic police of the Henan Provincial Public Security Department investigated and dealt with an illegal act of parking in the emergency lane of the highway during patrol duty.
At about 6 o'clock on the same day, Li Yonghua, deputy head of the 10th detachment, and Gao Xinwen, the police duty team, drove to patrol the southern half of the 635 kilometers of the Lianhuo Expressway, only to see a blue truck parked in the emergency lane ahead, without any warning signs, the police immediately set up a safety guard, approached and found that a man in the car was sleeping soundly, and shouted several times before waking the man up. Upon inquiry, it was learned that the driver was driving alone to deliver goods, and felt sleepy while driving, and felt that the road was wide and there were few cars when he reached this section, so he simply pulled over and slept for a while, but forgot about driving safety. The police severely criticized and educated him for his dangerous behavior of parking and sleeping in the emergency lane of the expressway, pointing out that parking in the emergency lane of the expressway in a non-emergency situation is very easy to cause a traffic accident, and imposed a fine of 200 yuan and 9 points on the driver's license for the traffic violation of "parking on the emergency lane of the expressway in a non-emergency situation" in accordance with the law. The driver said that he was deeply aware of his mistake and sincerely accepted the education and punishment of the police.
High-speed traffic police remind drivers friends: emergency lane is a rescue channel, but also a life channel, the highway prohibits random parking, parking is very easy to cause traffic accidents and will bear the corresponding responsibility, as well as life safety hazards. If the driver feels tired and sleepy on the highway, go to the nearest service area or toll booth as soon as possible to rest and then return to the highway, and do not stop in the emergency lane to avoid accidents.
