Six points were deducted for changing tires in the high-speed emergency lane. The car owner refused: Is a flat tire not considered an emergency?

The Mid-Autumn Festival + National Day 8-day holiday is coming soon. It can be expected that there will be a lot of people traveling long distances by car. Some of them are experienced drivers who often travel on the highway and must be familiar with some of the rules on the highway. But there are also some novice drivers who have never been on the expressway and do not understand the "game routines" involved. Be careful and you will be fined and deducted!

There was news not long ago that a car owner suddenly had a flat tire on the left side of the wheel while driving at high speed. In an emergency, he quickly stopped and changed the tire in the emergency lane. Unexpectedly, the police uncle immediately slapped a violation ticket and deducted 6 points.

This car owner was very dissatisfied: I already had a flat tire, isn’t it considered an emergency? Why are points deducted for changing tires in the emergency lane?

First of all, the emergency lane cannot be occupied at will. This is the test point. I passed the test in subject one. If you occupy the emergency lane at will, you will be deducted 6 points and fined 200 yuan. However, there are exceptions for some emergencies, such as flat tires, broken belts, etc., so the car owner was right to stop in the emergency lane to change the tire.

The mistake was that he forgot the second must-test point. When occupying the emergency lane in an emergency, the car owner must turn on the double flashers and put a triangle warning sign 150 meters behind the car. In fact, this car owner also placed a triangle warning sign, but he placed the warning sign only 30 meters away from the rear of the car and did not turn on the double flashers. The speed of driving on the highway is very fast. The car behind this position must have been unable to stop the car when it saw it, which could easily cause a rear-end accident. Therefore, the car owner could only get a 6-point penalty to learn a lesson for his wrong behavior. .

In the event of an emergency, the emergency lane must be occupied. In addition to double flashing, a warning triangle must be placed 150 meters behind. At night, in rainy and foggy weather, it is also necessary to turn on the silhouette lights, tail lights and rear fog lights. After completing the above operations, the people on the vehicle must also evacuate to a safe area and wait for rescue.

Since we are talking about highways, let’s take a look at some of the traffic rules to avoid violations on highways.

Driving on the road, "speed and passion" is what many car fans want to enjoy. Maybe on a highway with relatively wide roads and few cars, many car fans can't control themselves. Hold still first and read the speed limit signs on the highway clearly. The traffic slogan also says it well: Nine out of ten accidents happen quickly, speeding accidents come! If you don't listen to the advice, the police will use practical actions to make you accept the reality.

Speed ??50% over the speed limit, 12 points will be recorded on the driver's license, and a fine of 200 yuan to 2,000 yuan will be imposed. Are you thinking, is it okay if I speed under 50% over the speed limit? No, the speed limit is 120, and if you drive 140 or 150, you will still get 6 points deducted.

Some novice drivers feel that they are particularly "proper": If you drive too fast, you are seeking death. I drive slower to be safe! There must be a certain level of "slowness", and it is not okay to go slowly without any reason. On the highway, if your driving speed is more than 20% lower than the prescribed minimum speed, you will be fined 200 yuan and deducted 3 points.

At toll station gate entrances and exits, ramp entrances and tunnels, we often see a "fish bone" or "zipper"-like marking. Don't look at it as a dotted line and prepare to change lanes. This marking is called the longitudinal deceleration marking, which reminds drivers to slow down in order to slow down and prevent traffic accidents. Under normal circumstances, the areas where this "fishbone line" appears are accident-prone roads, so the middle lane dividing line is mostly a solid line. If you violate the line and change lanes, you will be deducted 3 points and fined 150-200 yuan. of.

In addition, the diversion line area is also an area where illegal parking occurs frequently on expressways. The function of the diversion line is to remind drivers to pay attention to safety, increase vigilance, and play a role in control and guidance to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. You cannot run over, turn around or reverse in this area, otherwise you will be fined 20-200 yuan and deducted 3 points. Many novices often mistakenly think that this is a temporary parking area, and it is absolutely not advisable to park/rest in this location.

Written at the end

There are so many traffic markings on domestic roads that we can’t even remember what their functions are, so sometimes we are good at obeying traffic rules. Citizens, however, also have to pay a ticket for "ignorance".

Before setting off on National Day, everyone must understand some common traffic rules in advance to avoid being deducted. Have you ever been deducted or fined because you didn’t know the meaning of traffic markings? Leave a message to share experiences with other drivers!
