It is common sense that ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, etc., need to give way to private cars while on their way to perform their duties.
However, a private car was forced to stop and check on the highway because it did not give way to the police car, which caused controversy!
In the end, the provincial inspector team intervened!
What's going on?

Video source: The Paper
The video shows the private car driving in the leftmost lane, with two large trucks in the right lane in front and the private car about to overtake.
At this moment, a police car came up from the rear right.
The police car honked its horn to accelerate and tried to cut into front of the private car from the right side of the private car to overtake, but the private car did not slow down to avoid it.
After overtaking the large truck in front, the police car caught up from behind and pulled the private car to the emergency parking lane on the far right.
Then two people who were not wearing uniforms got out of the police car, and the person in front of them showed his ID as he walked to the private car.
The person in front came up and asked the driver of the private car to take out his driver's license and driving license, and scolded: "You didn't see the official vehicle? Take the initiative to let the line know not to know! ”
The private car owner said that he did not see the police car, but the people in the police car thought that the private car was dangerous!
In the course of the exchange, the private car owner was arguing at first, and then the person in the police car issued a verbal warning to the private car owner, and the private car owner said that he would cooperate.
Is it illegal for a private car to fail to give way to a police car?
Some people can't help but ask, is it illegal for a private car to not give way to a police car in time?
According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, police cars may be punished by the traffic management department if they do not give way if their private car does not give way during the course of performing an emergency mission!
However, it is not illegal for a private car not to give way if it is not on an urgent mission.
In other words, even if it is illegal, law enforcement is also a traffic policeman, not a policeman!
Besides, this police car does not seem to be on an urgent mission, if it is, then it will not stop the private car and delay time!
Police car road rage erupts, retaliatory law enforcement?
Some people say that this police car is a road rage outbreak, stopping a private car for inspection, which is a retaliatory law enforcement, and the two people who got out of the car are not wearing uniforms, which itself is already a violation!
According to Article 14 of the Regulations on the Management of Police Cars of the Ministry of Public Security, it is mandatory to wear police uniforms when driving a police car!
The opinions of netizens are poured on both sides
Netizens have completely different opinions on this matter.
Some people support private cars, believing that police cars abuse their law enforcement rights and stop private cars on the highway are relying on their status and power to oppress the people, which has a bad impact and must be severely punished!
There are also netizens who support the police car, believing that the police car must be on a mission, and the private car has the obligation to avoid. I can't think of looking for the police when I have something, but I don't even want to provide convenience for the police car to make way for it!
The Inspectorate receives complaints
Media reporters reported the situation to the Hubei Provincial Police Inspectorate Corps, and there are two main focuses of everyone's attention:
1. Police cars stop private cars at high speeds.
2. The personnel in the police car did not wear police uniforms as required.
The staff of the inspectorate team replied: the complaint has been accepted, and the result will be fed back within 30 working days.
Write at the end
In fact, judging from the whole video, the private car is driving normally, and it is indeed the police car that wants to change lanes from the right side.
The private car did not slow down to give way to the police car, and the police car began to honk its siren and honk.
The private car ignored it, presumably angering the police car, which caused the police car to catch up with the private car and forcibly stop it.
Aside from the rest, on the highway to get on the car, everyone is very fast, this practice of the police car is undoubtedly quite dangerous, once it causes an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Secondly, it is obvious that the police car has broken out of road rage, stopped the private car, and reprimanded and warned the owner of the car, which is obviously overdone!
It is hoped that the relevant departments can find out the facts as soon as possible, give the results of the handling, give the public the truth, and maintain the glorious image of the people's police!
At the same time, it also reminds everyone that driving safety comes first, obeys traffic rules, and does not fight or grab.
