High-speed obstacle clearing and rescue slogan

Is the trailer of "Sky-high Price" a rescue or a robbery?

In recent years, the report of "sky-high towing fee"

It's not uncommon, and it costs thousands of dollars.

Is it our car owner who suffers?

However, there is good news recently.

Zhejiang province takes the lead in expressing its position: high-speed free obstacle clearing and rescue!

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

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

This local law clearly stipulates:

From June 1 day to September 1 day, the expressway management personnel shall timely and freely tow the faulty vehicles and accident vehicles stranded on the main line to the temporary parking place outside the nearest exit, and the drivers and passengers shall cooperate.

2, highway operators bear towing and towing costs, should be clearly defined in the expressway franchise agreement. Moreover, the traffic administrative department of the public security organ, the transportation administrative department and the highway administrative department shall not restrict the parties involved in faulty vehicles and accident vehicles from going to their designated units to repair vehicles.

In other words,

If you break down on the expressway in Zhejiang Province in the future,

The rescue service is free, free!

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 asking all localities to clean up and standardize the rescue services and charges for expressway vehicles:

The public security traffic control department shall not designate social assistance 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 the hope of controlling the "sky-high rescue fee" on standardizing the fee. As long as the charge is reasonable, there will be no "sky-high rescue fee"; I also pin my hopes on market competition. As long as there is no designated rescue agency, drivers have the opportunity to choose freely, and the "sky-high rescue fee" will lose its foundation.

These two methods should be effective in theory, but they often fail in practice, and the incidents of "sky-high rescue fees" are still endless.

Free aid may be the best solution?

What shall we do? Free aid may be the most effective way and the ultimate measure. If the charging hole is completely blocked, there will be no holes to drill. When the vehicle breaks down on the expressway, it only needs to accept the free rescue from the expressway operator.

The significance of free rescue lies in: highway rescue has changed from charging to free, and 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 part of the financial commitment.

You know, drivers usually pay this tax and that fee, and it is natural to get free rescue when their vehicles have an accident, just like being dragged to the repair shop by the traffic police for free when their vehicles have an accident.

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 rescue vehicles, because no one will deliberately let the vehicles have accidents for free. Do you agree?

Last warm reminder

Although only Zhejiang province has implemented high-speed free rescue today, Zhejiang has made a good start, and I believe other provinces in the country will also promote it in the near future to realize free rescue for the whole expressway network.

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