One of the news that received particular attention at the beginning of last year (2013) was the official implementation of "the strictest new rules in history." Among them, more stringent regulations have been imposed on the application for driver's license exams, driver and driver's license examination education, and the handling of traffic violations. For example, a serious violation of the red light from a record of three points, into a record of six points. There is also drunk driving, in this year is really stepped on the "brake", because the new rules and regulations for the handling of drunk driving is unrelenting.
Now, in what way has the new rules and regulations played a role in the past year? For ordinary drivers, will you change your driving habits? Let’s talk about Master Zhang, Master Zhang is an old driver who has been driving for 15 years. For him, the new rules make him “courage smaller,†and driving will be more “cautious†than before.
Master driver Zhang: Now that the traffic laws are too stringent, they are severe for our drivers. They are also a safety guarantee for safety. Now this time, we have deducted 6 points of neon lights, and we buckled 12 points twice. Even the green lights have Waiting for a few seconds to stop and wait for a moment, not to mention blasphemy, really not used to the beginning, and now have become accustomed to it, and really have to take a moment to slowly change the way you drive.
In fact, this is not the experience of Zhang Zhang alone. Our reporter also interviewed Li Jiangping, deputy director of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, on this issue. He summed up that one of the important results of the new rules is that the positive energy of safe and civilized travel is on the rise, and civilized travel has become the mainstream. Many types of traffic violations have been reduced, and there have also been changes from “quantity†to “qualityâ€.
Li Jiangping: From the situation we have grasped, especially relevant statistics, this newly revised ministerial order has greatly promoted the driver’s safety awareness. For example, last year, we said that we had investigated and dealt with one year in the past year. The number of violations that block number plates and unnumbered plates has double digits, and some even reach a 80% decline. Speeding violations have a 50% to 60% drop.
For new drivers, the impact of the new rules may be even greater. The data shows that our drivers are soaring at a rate of more than 20 million people each year. However, this group of drivers is often the "killer of the road" in the eyes of everyone. After the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" was published, the driving and examination system in China has also undergone great changes. The reporter visited and found that in many driving schools, there are already a lot of past “reversing the mouth and mouth†and getting closer to the scene on the normal road; on the road, you can’t see those who used to drive in the past. Many new drivers took the book and dared to drive. This was not what they had before.
Driver: To be honest, the exam is really much more difficult than before, and the benchmarks have been changed to markings. Because I used to pass an examination before, I couldn’t use manual detection. Now, I’m very strict about the electronic eyes. It is the protection of our normal road safety.
The statistics of the traffic control department can also verify these claims. The Changchun City Traffic Police Detachment Chaoyang Brigade squadron leader Wang Xilu explained that he can now understand more of the new drivers he directs.
Wang Zhetu: The former novices are not so familiar with traffic regulations, and now they can all understand the gestures of traffic police or signs of traffic.
However, in the implementation of the new rules for more than a year, ordinary drivers and traffic control departments have also found many problems. For example, the question of whether or not the yellow light is illegal is still plaguing many drivers. In this regard, Li Jiangping said that in the past, people’s concern for the yellow light has also played a role in making drivers pay attention to the signal lights. At present, they are making systematic plans for the yellow light signal traffic problem.
Li Jiangping: According to statistics, violations of traffic lights violated the law last year by 40% year-on-year. At the same time, traffic accidents caused by violations of traffic lights at road intersections have dropped by more than 20%. In response to the yellow light problem, we also listened to the opinions of various parties. At present, we are revamping the People's Republic of China Road Safety Traffic Law, formulating relevant implementation rules, and have already started relevant laws and regulations.
In the interview, many people also reported that drunk driving is still on the rise during the holidays. Many drivers made some comments.
Citizens: Is it possible to include drunk driving as an individual's credit history, bank loans, or insurance, as in other countries? This is linked to interest in it.
Citizen: I think that people who drive after drinking should be exposed by their real names.
Citizens: In favor of award reports, so that anyone feels he has no opportunity to violate the law.
Li Jiangping, deputy director of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, told reporters at Voice of China that they have also discovered these conditions and are now introducing measures to manage them. Including these issues, in fact, all need a long-term changes in driving habits, traffic control departments will also play a major role in guiding and serving them.
Li Jiangping: The next step is to further improve the relevant systems. We must promptly resolve issues that are of concern to the common people, such as traffic signals, traffic technology monitoring, illegal scoring, shoveling, and illegal intermediaries. The second is that we need to strengthen the relevant conveniences. The actions of the masses of the people served to comprehensively improve our work, comprehensively solve the problems faced by our transportation from all aspects of the system, and improve our level of easing urban traffic jams.
