Recently, an unbelievable absurd drama was staged at the toll station of Chaoshan Expressway in Guangdong, which attracted widespread attention from the whole society. When a truck driver full of peaches passed through the toll booth, the toll collector refused the "green channel" access discount on the grounds that the peaches were not ripe. This unreasonable behavior not only made the driver feel extremely angry, but also aroused a strong reaction from the majority of netizens, who condemned this absurd refusal.
According to the driver, the peaches he transported were carefully selected and inspected, and although some of the peaches were not fully ripe, they fully met the standards for transportation and sales. However, the toll collector ignored the driver's explanation and protests, insisting that the peaches did not meet the preferential conditions of the "green channel" and refused to give the passage discount.
This incident quickly caused heated discussions on the Internet, and many netizens expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation of the unreasonable behavior of the toll collector. Some people question whether peaches that are not ripe and cannot enjoy the "green channel" discount, so will other unripe fruits also be rejected? Is such a provision reasonable? Some people believe that the toll collector should make a judgment based on the actual situation and regulations, rather than blindly refusing to give preferential treatment.
In fact, according to the relevant laws and regulations of the mainland, truck drivers should enjoy preferential access when transporting agricultural products as long as they meet the relevant conditions of the "green channel". The toll collector's refusal to grant concessions on the grounds that the peaches were not ripe is obviously a misinterpretation and abuse of the provisions. This unreasonable behavior not only damages the legitimate rights and interests of drivers, but also affects the implementation effect of the "green channel" policy.
In response to this incident, the relevant departments should intervene in the investigation in a timely manner, seriously deal with the behavior of the toll collector, and apologize to the driver for compensation. At the same time, the training and management of toll collectors should also be strengthened to ensure that they can correctly understand and implement the "green channel" policy to facilitate the transportation of agricultural products. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the publicity and interpretation of the "green channel" policy, so that more people can understand and grasp the specific content of the policy, so as to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents.
In China, in order to support the circulation of agricultural products, reduce the burden on farmers, and improve the efficiency of agricultural product circulation, the government has set up a "green channel" policy. The policy allows vehicles transporting specific agricultural products to be free or preferential on toll roads such as highways. The following are the types of fruits that are eligible for the "Green Channel" policy:
- Fresh fruits: including apples, pears, peaches, apricots, cherries, strawberries, grapes, citrus (such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons), kiwifruit, bananas, dragon fruit, mangoes, lychees, longans, pineapples, etc.
- Fresh agricultural products: not only fruits, but also vegetables, meat, poultry eggs, aquatic products, etc.
In order to enjoy the "green channel" policy, transport vehicles need to meet certain conditions, such as:
- Vehicle type: Usually required to be a van or refrigerated truck specifically designed to transport agricultural products.
- Cargo requirements: The goods must be fresh produce and meet certain quality and hygiene standards.
- Document preparation: Drivers may need to provide relevant transportation documents, such as certificates of origin of agricultural products, transportation contracts, etc.
