Chapter 12 Citizen Han's Traffic Problems

license The price of car license plates in Shanghai is getting more and more expensive. In September, the average winning bid for private vehicle license plate auctions reached more than 49,600 yuan, a record high. This price can already buy an economical car.The reason for the government is to control the flow of cars in the city center and relieve traffic pressure. I think the license plate auction system can only be said to be illegal but reasonable to a certain extent. The key is that we are very good at doing other things under the guise of benefiting mankind.Improving the traffic situation is of course a reason, but it also has a small effect.However, if all the contradictions in social development can only be resolved by a large amount of fees, then the function of the government is too simple.

In addition, when it comes to alleviating traffic congestion in the urban area, it is said that the development of public transport has been given priority, and car parking fees must be increased to restrict private car travel. , these tasks have to be completed by bus) No matter whether you ask or not?Consumers buy cars and pay taxes, and civil servants buy cars with the taxes paid by consumers. I even think that traffic pressure and traffic jams are the price.In big cities, why do we have to demand smooth traffic during peak hours?Big cities all over the world will be congested, and the congestion is much worse than that of Beijing and Shanghai. On the one hand, it depends on the development of roads and the awareness of everyone's traffic awareness. On the other hand, this is the price of traffic.There is no way.

In addition, if a car from other places is used in Shanghai, although road maintenance fees have been paid at the place where the license plate is issued and registered, Shanghai still needs to collect road maintenance fees.This is actually a mischief of local interests, which is used to restrict vehicles from having license plates from other places.I suggest that other provinces and cities follow suit and levy road maintenance fees for all Shanghai license plates.This is good, the one who loses is the individual, and the one who is rich is the finances, pretending to have immeasurable merit.

drving license The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" published on April 1 this year did not say that the driver's license test must be registered through a driving school. , require self-study to show training records, and refuse to accept self-study registration. Why do I have to pass a driving school and pay training fees to get a driver's license?Only after attending a driver training school will there be records, and self-study driving skills are not available. This is actually a mandatory binding of the driving license test and driving school.Why not let autodidacts sign up for the driver's license test?This is completely artificially increasing the cost of driving tests for ordinary people, allowing some interest departments to monopolize profits.

Our country does not always encourage self-study. Perhaps what they worry about is: What if you don’t know where you learned the reactionary driving style? Another question is, why don't driving schools teach drivers to look in the rearview mirror when parking and opening the door?I have seen accidents because the driver directly opened the door and collided with bicycles, motorcycles, and electric vehicles when the driver stopped. Also, if you have an accident on the highway, get out of the car immediately if you can walk.Many high-speed accidents are caused by being chased and hit by vehicles behind when people stay in the car to concentrate and savor the aftertaste, resulting in death.

Not teaching these common senses may show that our schools are well-intentioned and believe that practice is greater than theory, and once you hit it, you will always remember it.But common sense can save lives. street sign After the road signs in Shanghai learned to be internationalized, they used names such as A1 and A2 to name the roads in the country. Unlike the national road signs, there were no instructions on where to go. Drivers from other places did not know where a certain road was. At the intersection, stop the car and ask for directions at the risk of danger. I estimate that the internationalization of street signs is the fruitful result of a certain leader's overseas inspection.It is recommended that other provinces and cities do the same, and let us Shanghainese drive past also ask for directions, which will help enhance cultural exchanges between various places.There is nothing to be afraid of, as long as the driver of the leader knows the way, because some foreign cities do it like this.

fence On February 14th, I saw a car accident on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway. A car and a truck collided with each other. There should be no hope for the two people in the car to survive.I've seen many times on the highway where a car driver was rear-ended by a truck that didn't have a guardrail.The height of the tail compartment of the truck is facing the most vulnerable windshield of the car, which makes the front of the car as a buffer zone completely unable to play a protective role. In many developed or underdeveloped countries, trucks are required to be compulsorily installed with a set of protective devices that prevent cars from getting into the bottom of the vehicle when they collide.The rear-end protection device of the truck is very simple. It is just a matter of iron steel pipes. It reduces the space at the rear of the truck that is one meter above the ground, so that the buffer zone of the front of the truck can be used when other cars hit it, instead of being directly shoveled into the carriage.The cost is quite low, just a few hundred dollars.

After the protective fence was made mandatory in Europe, the survival rate after the accident has been greatly improved.Although there is very little benefit for the traffic department to promote the protective fence, it is not as much as adding any tax or charging a congestion fee, but it is a great protection of life after all, and it should be enforced.If it is not installed or unqualified, it should be fined and ordered to install it immediately and make corrections. Is it worth hundreds of dollars to install one? Anyway, it is usually a rear-end collision, and the car behind is fully responsible, so there is no need for compensation.But take a step back and say, our leaders also ride in cars, right, it is duty-bound to protect the leaders.thank you all.

Regulation Now some places have promulgated regulations prohibiting ordinary people from driving motorcycles and battery cars. The earlier absurd regulations prohibit people from riding bicycles for reasons of unsafety.These ordinary people cannot afford bicycles, and the bus service is not in place, so everyone has to buy cars, which makes the already congested roads more congested. The use of private means of transportation such as motorcycles, electric vehicles, and bicycles is a basic right of citizens and must be open.Even if there were an accident or some traffic disruption, that would be the price.The price must be paid.And I'm curious, since you don't allow it on the road in these cities, how can you allow it to be sold in those places?

parking Article 56 of the "Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: "Motor vehicles shall be parked at specified places. Parking of motor vehicles on sidewalks is prohibited; however, parking spaces designated in accordance with Article 33 of this law are excluded. "It's a hard time for drivers to either park in paid parking or park illegally. Contrary to the rule of China's "Traffic Law", the regulations of the British and American countries are, except that the traffic management department places signs of "absolutely no parking" or "short stay" in a certain place and turns 30 at intersections and highways. It has become a common international practice that parking can be parked in other places except that it is not allowed to park within 10 meters.

The problem is that the traffic management department of our country does not hang signs of no parking in places other than toll parking lots. Can you hang signs of no parking in places other than toll yards?I think drivers can stop as long as they don't get in the way of others.But why does the traffic police often post "violation fines" to motor vehicles parked in these places? In the past few years, including now, some places are exaggerating. I am talking about the public security or traffic departments. Sometimes you have to pay a fine for violations of regulations, but when you find that your car cannot drive in, you park your car on the side of the road. Another ticket came out. Number Article 53 of my country's "Highway Law" stipulates: If the road is damaged, the person responsible shall report to the road management agency in a timely manner and accept the on-site investigation of the road management agency; Article 78 stipulates: Article 85: If a vehicle is damaged and fails to report it, the competent traffic department shall impose a fine of less than 1,000 yuan; Article 85, paragraph 2: Vehicles that cause serious damage to the road must stop immediately, protect the scene, and report to the road. The management agency shall leave after accepting the investigation and handling by the highway management agency. Accidents of vehicles on the road are inevitable, many of which will cause damage to the road.When the vehicle is insured, the vast majority of drivers can dial "122" in time to call the police and accept the handling of the traffic police department.But the problem is that when the person concerned dials "122" to call the police, he may be punished for not fulfilling the obligation stipulated in Article 53 of the "Highway Law" and calling the traffic authority to report. The "122" telephone number is unified throughout the country and is completely free; the highway management agency does not have a unified alarm telephone number. How does a driver from other places report to the highway management agency after an accident in another place?Drivers are often fined for this.Many of our traffic supervision settings, many of them have thought of many ways to dig a hole for you to jump into. And if you bump into some traffic facilities, you will know how expensive it is. I believe you can buy five times similar things at this price.But if you don't let it go, you have to pay it back.This is the same principle as compensation for things you break in a five-star hotel, which shows that we already have five-star enjoyment. There are not many roads in China, but most of the toll roads in the world are in China, and even the "national roads" are tolled.Although we have paid purchase tax, value-added tax, customs duty, consumption tax, road maintenance fee, vehicle and vessel use tax, and even the license fee of a certain place when we buy a car.I am fortunate that the road in front of my house has not been changed into a highway, otherwise there will be a toll for going out. box lunch Now, highways provide drivers with many services, such as the establishment of rest stops.But these highway rest stops are extremely expensive.On my way to Shanghai, I ate a meal at the Xintai rest station, 20 yuan per person, with a total of nearly 20 dishes.From a distance, the photos on the restaurant are full of hairy crabs and braised pork. When you get closer to see the real food, it is full of spring, green and oily, and there is no meat at all. In addition to eating, the shopping malls in the highway rest stops are also very expensive, almost as expensive as the airport.According to my experience, the food in the restaurant at the rest stop is only 5 yuan outside, which means it is 4 times more expensive in the rest stop.No wonder those truck drivers would rather eat instant noodles.The only thing that is more kind than the airport is that you don’t have to pay the rest station construction fee when you leave after eating, and you don’t have to pay for going to the toilet. Life The president of the Supreme Court said at this year's two sessions that he would resolve the issue of the level of compensation for the death of a car accident caused by the law because of different household registrations.But this problem has been going on for a long time now, and no results have been seen.I saw a piece of news that two people who died in a traffic accident in the same car received more than double the amount of compensation: one was 400,000 yuan, and the other was less than 200,000 yuan. of. Once when I went back to my hometown, a fellow villager was hit by a car and died. The family was very sad. I found out after inquiring that he was applying for an urban household registration. , I really feel sad when I think about it, and sadder and sadder. In my opinion, the different prices for killing urbanites and countrymen can only prove that our system is too unreasonable. Human lives are divided into three or six grades. How can we have a harmonious society?In a harmonious society, everyone's life is equally valuable. racing car There are always people racing on the street clamoring to race with me, but I refuse them all.I don't think any driver should drive fast on the street.If you slid out on the track, you just swept a tree. If you slid out on the road, such as the third ring road or Jianguomen, you might sweep a crowd of people. There is no technical content in street racing, don't you just wear the baffles, and you can't practice the control of the car, because racing is the art of controlling the car on the edge of losing control and not losing control, and Feijie is just changing The pediatric technology of the road drill drill block, there is no driving pleasure. When I was a child, I also raced on the street. I should be one of the earliest people in Beijing. I have never lost, and I feel that I am very good.But I was a responsible person, and then I went to the official car races.These drag racing kids have good judgment and sense of driving, and they can definitely come to participate in official competitions. Our team has the POLO Cup novice competition, and the National Rally also provides car rental services. As far as I know, with their family background, these are not considered burdens.How can it be called drifting in the open space?That's called a dog biting its tail, and it's also called wasting tires!When the rally is on a closed high-speed gravel road, the road is more than three meters wide, and there is a vertical drop of forty to fifty meters next to it, and the front of the car drifts against the mountain wall, that's when I am happy. I really hate some pseudo-racing enthusiasts. They obviously don’t have the heart to do it, and they are satisfied with driving on the street to fool timid girls. Please don’t say how high the threshold of competition is in China, and they don’t accept themselves so much. It's like choosing Feijie.If you want to fly the street, you have to fly as fast as you can, and declare loudly that I just like drag racing and fly the street, not in the name of Chinese racing cars.Of course, if he can finally figure out that flying street is dangerous and not fun, but regular racing is more fun, then I believe he can become a good driver.Come on, maybe the dark horse of Chinese racing is among you. dog and car Today I went back to my hometown to repair my motorcycle. I saw a dog hit by a car on the road, but it was still alive. The owner of the dog took the dog back.Because I always drive to various places, I have witnessed many car accidents.Not counting two-vehicle accidents, I have probably seen a total of ten times when a car hits a person or a big dog, and the split is 50-50. I found that among the drivers I witnessed, the first thing everyone got out of the car was to see how the car was injured. As for the life and death of the dog, no one cared. Call the police I am a person who calls the police often, and I always call the police when I am convinced that what is happening in front of me can not help. However, the speed of the police and the attitude of the operator make me very sweaty. A few months ago, I was shopping on Dingxi Road in Shanghai, and a person in front of me flew out on a motorcycle. I was next to that person. I went over and checked and was sure that the person had a broken thigh, but I couldn’t confirm whether there was any problem with the lumbar spine. , Let the man lie on the spot, I dialed 110, and it was very clear on the phone that an ambulance was needed.In the downtown area of ​​Shanghai, it took 20 minutes for the 110 motorcycle to arrive. The police took a look and called an ambulance through the walkie-talkie. It had been almost an hour since the man got on the ambulance and fell down.Fortunately it was only a broken bone.A friend of mine rescued someone on the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway, and it took nearly an hour for the ambulance to arrive.If there is a serious injury in the future, it is more reliable to say the last words directly. A few years ago, I was driving on the road and saw a car overturned into a river.It was in the middle of the night, and I wasn't sure if it just happened or if it had happened a long time ago. I was just waiting for dawn to tow the car, so I called the police. The operator asked me where I was, and I said I just knew I was on the ×××National Highway from ××× From X to X, the operator asked me how many kilometers it was, how could I know how many kilometers it was, the distance between the two places was only 5 kilometers, I was waiting by the side of the road, as long as a patrol car came see me.But the operator was visibly impatient. Regarding the location, I have been ridiculed by 110 many times. Sometimes when I drive at night, I find someone who is about to commit suicide or there is a big hole in the ground. I really don’t know where it is. I can only try to explain it in detail. I know this is a certain road, but I am really embarrassed when you keep asking me how many kilometers away.
