Since April 1, the rules for scoring traffic violations have ushered in major adjustments, the most notable of which is that traffic violations such as driving mobile phones, making phone calls and "overtaking" through the lane have faced higher penalties: from 2 points to 3 points. On April 1, the reporter of the Southern Morning Post client investigated this.

Survey: Within 15 minutes, 3 drivers drove to play with their mobile phones
At about 10:00 a.m. on April 1, on The Changhu Road in Nanning, cars came and went, and a white car came, and the reporter saw that the male driver on the car held the steering wheel with one hand and answered the phone with the other hand. Because the driver is distracted from driving, the speed is fast and slow, and the vehicles behind can only be fast and slow, which makes people sweat.
Subsequently, the reporter saw on Dongge Road that a small black car was driving on the side road, and the driver brushed his mobile phone from time to time, and almost hit the electric car that was driving several times, which was very dangerous.
At 10:40 a.m. on the same day, the reporter saw near the Fengling overpass that the traffic flow was large, a gray car was coming, and the male driver was holding a mobile phone in his right hand to answer the phone, and his left hand was holding the steering wheel.
In the next 15 minutes, the reporter found that 3 drivers were driving to make phone calls and brush mobile phones.

The reporter found that in addition to playing mobile phones and making calls while driving, there are many drivers who brush their mobile phones when waiting for the red light at the intersection, the green light is on, and the driver is still brushing the mobile phone, until the driver of the rear car presses the horn to remind, and then hurriedly puts down the mobile phone to start the vehicle.

Discovery: "Overtaking" by tunnel is most common during peak hours
In daily life, when some drivers stop in front of them and queue up or drive slowly, they often do not have the patience to wait and will "overtake" by way.
On Democracy Road, a cement tanker truck crossed the solid line and turned left.
On the same day, the reporter saw in Yuanhu Road that the cars on the left turn lane from Yuanhu Road into Jianzheng Road lined up in a long line, and a small car driver in the straight lane immediately saw the needle and directly turned from the solid line overtaking to the left turn lane, almost colliding with the normal car on the left turn lane.
The reporter found that such behavior as "overtaking" through the road is particularly prominent during the morning and evening rush hours.
On Minzhu Road, during rush hour, a car overtakes from the BRT lane.
Reminder: These violations have traffic safety hazards
The reporter learned from the interview that traffic violations such as driving mobile phones, making phone calls or "overtaking" and "interspersing" through the road may sometimes have certain difficulties in investigating and handling at the scene, but the traffic police department can use electronic police, drones and other equipment to capture and shoot, so that these traffic violations can not be hidden.
The traffic police department reminds the general public that driving and playing mobile phones and making phone calls are distracted driving behaviors, and there are hidden dangers in traffic safety. At the same time, the illegal act of "overtaking" through the lane is also very dangerous, and once a traffic accident is triggered, the party who has committed the illegal act will bear full responsibility for the accident.
