At about 18:35 on January 21, 2021, the police of the Huangmei Brigade, the Second Detachment of the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department Highway Police Corps, were patrolling the Huangmei section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, and found a small car parked in the emergency lane without a triangle warning behind brand. It is reported that after the driver of this small car encountered a vehicle breakdown on the expressway, because he could not find the warning triangle, he took a cardboard box to recharge, and the police immediately stepped forward to check the situation. Under the guidance of the police, the driver found a warning sign in the trunk of his vehicle and made the correct placement on the spot.
When the police approached the vehicle, they saw a cardboard box and a small fire extinguisher on the ground. Since it was already dark at the time, the cardboard boxes neither reflected light nor could affect road traffic. The driver told the police that due to the sudden breakdown of the vehicle, he could not find the warning triangle, so he had to use the carton on the car as a warning sign.
The police told him that, as a driver, you should check the condition of the vehicle before leaving the vehicle and check whether the safety items are complete, otherwise it will be difficult to fight against emergencies. Generally, the triangle warning signs of vehicles are placed in the trunk of the vehicle, and the driver is urged to open the trunk to search for it. As expected, the warning sign is found after a while, and the driver placed the warning sign under the guidance of the police.
Later, the people warned the driver of the harm caused by this behavior, and patiently explained to the driver why the triangle warning sign should be set up if the vehicle breaks down on the highway, and pointed out that at night when the line of sight is not good , If you take non-reflective items as warning signs, not only will it fail to serve as a warning, but it may even become a roadblock and affect the safety of other vehicles.
After detailed explanations by the police, the driver admitted his mistakes and promised to strengthen the learning of safety knowledge in the future. In the end, the police imposed a fine of 200 yuan for the driver’s violation of the vehicle on the highway and failed to set up warning signs in accordance with the regulations, and 3 points for the driver’s license.
