A driver in Dongguan ran a red light to save someone. Although heartwarming, it may not be reasonable.

When I went to work early in the morning, I was hit by a post called "A driver in Guangdong ran a red light to save a baby and his driver's license was revoked, but his family refused to testify." It is said that Mr. Ai is an online ride-hailing driver in Dongguan, Guangdong. One night he was taking orders normally and welcomed a family of three, two couples with an infant baby.

After the couple told Mr. Ai where to go, the vehicle whizzed onto the road. Unexpectedly, just one minute after driving out, the baby suddenly started to feel bad. He was vomiting, fainting, and even lost consciousness. This is incredible! This is a baby who is only a few months old! Must be treated immediately!

The two couples were also anxious and asked Mr. Ai if they could change their destination and send them directly to the hospital for emergency treatment. Mr. Ai was a kind person and was very anxious when he saw the baby like this, so he immediately found the nearest hospital. , rushed all the way. That's when he noticed the baby had passed out. In his desperation, he didn't care too much, so he ran through the red light and was sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

The Dongguan online taxi driver came to the rescue

After running through the red light, no one was willing to help

Fortunately, the child was saved. But what happened next left everyone chilling! Mr. Ai tried his best to save the person, but was caught by the traffic police for running a red light. He faced the trouble of deducting 18 points and revoking his driver's license. The traffic police told him: If it can be proven that he is really saving people, then he will be fine. So Mr. Ai asked the baby's parents to testify for him, but the answer he got was "You ran the red light yourself and didn't care about my business"...

At present, the local traffic police have obtained evidence that can prove that Mr. Ai is for Try your best to save people, so Mr. Ai will not be penalized. In addition, Didi also awarded Mr. Ai a bravery bonus. The end result is good. But the social impact of building cars is not small: everyone is discussing: Who will do good things in the future? Who do I care about other people’s safety, life or death?

——Just before going to press, it was revealed on the Internet that there may be a misunderstanding about this incident. The latest news stated that "the car owner, Mr. Ai, obtained the contact number of his family members through the hospital, but the hospital gave him the wrong number." This resulted in A series of misunderstandings arise. We are paying attention to the development of the matter

Personally, it is recommended that when encountering such a situation

It is safest to call 110

On the other hand, for Mr. Ai to save people in danger We admire him very much for his heroic deeds and are grateful for his good deeds. But putting aside subjective emotions, we analyze it completely rationally and calmly. Although the situation is urgent, is it really reasonable to choose to run a red light to grab time? What should you do if you encounter a sudden dangerous situation while running a red light and cause other accidents? Whose responsibility is it? ...Have you ever thought about it?

This raises a practical question: What should we do if we encounter such a situation? We really want to show love, but we are afraid that we will cause trouble and we won’t be able to explain it later, and we also want to ensure safety. How to do it appropriately? I saw a voice on the Internet saying that we can call 120 directly. After all, they are professionals and the ambulance has a lot of medical equipment.

I personally prefer to call the police immediately by dialing 110 to inform the police of the emergency and seek assistance. Because if the situation is urgent, the public security dispatch room will also contact the nearest ambulance through the internal call system, so that we do not need to call 120. Even if there is no way to contact the ambulance, the police car will rush over temporarily to clear the way for you.

The second advantage is that with the police registration, you can obey the police's instructions in everything, so that you can do your kindness and help others, and secondly, you can not bear any responsibility. It can be regarded as self-protection. In times of crisis, it is a good thing for us to help others out of love, but we must also pay attention to self-protection. So what should we do if we are driving on the road and encounter other special vehicles, such as fire trucks, ambulances, etc.?

When special vehicles perform tasks

Private cars must give way unconditionally!

In fact, it has been clearly stipulated in the traffic regulations.

According to the requirements of Article 53 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, when police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles perform emergency tasks, other vehicles and pedestrians must give way. For example, when we are waiting at a red light at an intersection, and we happen to encounter a fire truck or ambulance performing a mission behind us (with siren on), we are obliged to give way.

There are also specific requirements for giving way: For example, if we are just behind the parking line (the first vehicle), we can temporarily "cross the line on red light" to leave enough space for the special vehicles behind us. We can have space to overtake (but we cannot move at this time). We must wait until the special vehicle passes and the signal light turns green before we can start and leave.

It should be noted that this simple avoidance action can easily lead to "traps" if you are not careful during operation. For example, after we let a special vehicle pass, we reverse the car back to its original position. This action is absolutely dangerous. It's not allowed! ——Of course, behavior such as "following a special vehicle" is also illegal. Please remember the only principle of avoidance: stay where you are and wait for the green light.

Keep the recorder screen!

This is evidence to restore our innocence

If by chance our good deeds are captured on camera and we receive a violation notice from the traffic police department, we can report it to the local traffic police The department files an administrative reconsideration, and this reconsideration is basically 100% successful and the traffic police department will cancel the ticket. But the premise is that we need to submit evidence to prove that we are indeed "giving way to special vehicles performing tasks."

It is not difficult to submit “evidence”: the footage captured by the driving recorder is the most powerful evidence. Of course, you may ask: Administrative review does not need to take time? If you have to ask for leave and run around... you might as well not give way to special vehicles! Then I can only tell you: Putting aside your good intentions, from a purely traffic perspective, not giving way is already suspected of violating the law. Violators basically cannot escape the penalty of at least 3 points and a fine of 200 (the recorder on the special vehicle is not a vegetarian) , and they have the right to directly collide).
