Major changes! Since September, high-speed free rescue has been implemented, and the trailer has been free since then?

Is the "sky-high" trailer a rescue or a fish in troubled waters?

In recent years, the report of "sky-high towing fee" is not uncommon.

It's exorbitant, costing thousands of yuan.

Is it our car owners who suffer?

However, good news came recently.

Zhejiang Province took the lead in saying: high-speed free obstacle clearing and rescue!

Zhejiang takes the lead in implementing: high-speed free trailer rescue

On May 15th, Zhejiang Provincial Highway Regulations, which was deliberated and passed at the 21st meeting of the 13th National People's Congress Standing Committee of Zhejiang Province, incorporated "free highway obstacle clearing and rescue" into local regulations.

This local regulation clearly stipulates:

From January 1, September 1, the expressway management personnel shall timely and freely tow the faulty vehicles and accident vehicles that stay on the main line to the temporary parking place outside the nearest exit, and the drivers and passengers shall cooperate with them.

2. The items that the expressway managers bear the towing and towing expenses shall be specified in the expressway franchise agreement. Moreover, the traffic administrative department of the public security organ, the competent department of transportation and the expressway management shall not restrict the parties involved in faulty vehicles and accident vehicles to their designated units to repair vehicles.

In other words,

If the expressway breaks down in Zhejiang Province in the future,

the rescue service is free of charge!

Over the years, the "sky-high towing fee" has been repeatedly banned.

In order to control the "sky-high rescue fee", the relevant state departments have thought of many ways. For example, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Communications have jointly issued a notice requesting all localities to clean up and standardize the vehicle rescue services and fees on expressways:

The traffic control department of public security shall not designate social rescue agencies to carry out towing and collect fees; The local price departments should standardize the charging items in a unified way and formulate the charging standards reasonably.

People once pinned their hopes on regulating the fees. As long as the fees are reasonable, there will be no "sky-high rescue fees". I also pinned my hopes on market competition. As long as no rescue organization is designated and drivers have the opportunity to choose freely, the "sky-high rescue fee" will lose its foundation.

These two methods should be effective in theory, but they often fail in practice, and "sky-high rescue fees" are still emerging one after another.

free aid may be the best solution?

what should I do? Free rescue may be the most effective way and the ultimate measure. If you completely block the charging hole, there will be no loophole to drill. When a vehicle breaks down on the expressway, it only needs to receive free rescue from the expressway operator.

The significance of free rescue lies in: Freeway rescue has changed from charging to free, from market-oriented service to public service.

some people may ask, shouldn't the driver bear the money for the trailer when the vehicle breaks down? In my opinion, the money can be borne by drivers or highway operators, even if it is partly borne by the finance.

You know, drivers usually pay this tax and that fee. When their vehicles have an accident, it is reasonable to get free rescue, just like the traffic police usually drag them to the repair shop for free.

Free rescue can be regarded as the welfare that drivers should enjoy, and it can also be regarded as the responsibility that the government should bear after collecting taxes and fees. At the same time, free of charge will not lead to an increase in the number of rescued vehicles, because no one will deliberately let the vehicles have an accident for free. Do you agree?

Finally, a warm reminder

Although only Zhejiang Province has implemented high-speed free rescue at present, Zhejiang has made a good start. I believe that other provinces in the country will also promote the implementation in the near future to realize free rescue for the whole expressway network.

Finally, remind the car owners that if they encounter an accident or break down on the highway, they should keep in mind the following "nine-word mantra"
