According to the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, when the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing; vehicles turning right can pass without obstructing the passage of vehicles and pedestrians who have been allowed to pass. Recently, Xu Jingsheng, the captain of Guangzhou 15 Route, drove his vehicle across the traffic light indicator line when the red light was on, what happened?
At about 8:28 a.m. on January 17, according to the on-board video, Xu Jingsheng, the commander of route 15 of Guangzhou FAW Company, drove to the intersection of Duobao Road and Enning Road and was waiting for traffic lights. At this time, from the rear came a series of rapid ambulance whistles, from far and near. Because it was in the morning rush hour and the traffic flow at the scene was relatively large, Xu Jingsheng found through the rearview mirror that the ambulance was blocked in the rear and could not pass.
"At that time, after careful observation, under the premise of ensuring safety, while reminding the passengers on the car to stand firm and support, I started the vehicle to slowly cross the traffic light indicator line and give way to the right 45 degrees ahead, making way for the ambulance to make a life channel." Xu Jingsheng recalled that because the bus gave way to the ambulance, the ambulance passed smoothly, which won more treatment time for the patient.
According to the relevant person in charge of FAW, after the incident, FAW Took the initiative to file and consult with the traffic police department, and the traffic police department said that Xu Jingsheng's behavior was an emergency avoidance of ambulances and the act of giving up life channels, which could be exempted from punishment. In fact, motor vehicles are obliged to give way when they encounter an emergency vehicle (such as ambulance, fire truck, police car, etc.) behind them that issues an alarm. Under the condition of ensuring safety, motor vehicles should try to lean on both sides of the car and give way to the "life channel" in the middle.
In 2020, in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, a 120 ambulance urgently received a cerebral hemorrhage patient, but encountered a heavy traffic jam in the morning rush hour. After hearing the 120 sirens, more than 100 cars have "given way to the left and right sides at 45 degrees", because of the tacit cooperation of the owners, the ambulance passed through the severely congested road in a few minutes, successfully arrived at the patient and sent to the hospital. Guangzhou traffic police department reminds that the majority of drivers for police cars, ambulances, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles and other traffic violations will not be punished, not in accordance with the provisions of the above special vehicles will be punished with 3 points, a fine of 200 yuan.
