Chapter 1346: Chapter 1199: The Soul of Xin’an City (Please Subscribe!)
The content was clear.
They understood instantly.
Mi Hao recalled a detail.
On his way here, everything was quiet and he hadn’t heard any prompts. He hadn’t noticed whether there had been such a device in front of him. Perhaps it was newly installed this month.
Front row.
A passenger couldn’t help but ask the driver,
"Driver, how did the police and insurance company get here so quickly? I didn’t see them!" From the time they received the alarm, including the time it took to stop, it was just over three minutes. It would indeed be quick unless the local police could fly.
"The police haven’t arrived."
The driver shook his head.
"Then how do they determine responsibility?" the person asked curiously.
The driver gave a slight smile.
He explained, "Determining responsibility is actually easy. You may not know, but all the highways here are under surveillance with full, no-blind-spot coverage. When an accident occurs, they immediately notify the surrounding traffic."
"Then they’ll pull up the video, investigate the cause of the accident, and these things can preliminarily be resolved by the Public Security Office in Xin’an City. As for the insurance company, they don’t even need to show their face."
"Determining the number of injured is also simple; they can directly access the accident vehicle owner’s phone number or call the nearest vehicle owner to confirm the injury situation. If there are injuries, they provide further guidance."
To be honest,
With the regulations here,
He had taken quite some time to adapt.
The traffic rules of both sides weren’t vastly different, but when it came to the implementation of regulations, this place was just too strict, and many procedures were completely different. Before he started his job here, he had to pass a theoretical exam specifically for this place.
The exam was extremely strict.
There were a total of five hundred questions in the question bank.
He had to answer fifty of them, and only a perfect score was considered a pass, allowing him to drive here. Missing a single question wasn’t allowed. For him, who was slightly older, this was a bit of a challenge, but he still passed.
The benefits were very obvious.
Since the Second Eastern Group was part of the Special District Government here,
Therefore,
As an employee,
He could enjoy local medical insurance. Combined with reimbursements, medical expenses were virtually nothing, and each month he received an extra allowance of nearly eight hundred yuan. The benefits and treatment were much better than those of the provincial automobile transport group he worked for before.
After listening to the driver,
The passengers felt quite unaccustomed.
"Guide treatment?"
The driver nodded and said, "Mainly for emergency responses to various injuries, buying time for ambulances. Many car accident fatalities occur because no one at the scene knows how to give emergency aid, missing the critical window for rescue."
"If they can’t save the life, will there be any responsibility?" another person asked.
"No, the entire process is on surveillance. They won’t demand ordinary people to intervene for injuries that can hold out until the ambulance arrives. If they can’t, then it’s a last-ditch effort. As long as you’re attempting to save someone, the law will protect the rescuer’s interests," the driver said.
"That’s really quite convenient."
"Exactly, what I’m most afraid of is failing to save someone, then getting sued and ending up paying a large amount of compensation."
The driver laughed.
"Like this little gadget, in an emergency, it can also be used as a phone and GPS. If you get lost, you can even call their Public Security Office and they will tell you how to get back to the main road."
"Then there’s no fear of getting lost."
"Right."
"But why does it always feel like being under constant surveillance? If that’s the case, couldn’t it infringe on the citizens’ right to privacy? Everywhere I go could be clearly tracked by others."
"Now that you mention it, I’m getting the creeps."
"What’s there to fear? If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve nothing to fear from a ghost knocking at your door. As long as you act uprightly and justly, why be afraid of people knowing where you go? Besides, they will certainly keep it confidential. It’s not like it’s falling into the hands of bad guys."
"Exactly, if you’re not committing crimes, what’s there to fear if the law is strict?"
"True." 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"..."
The sentiment
Quickly shifted towards acceptance. If a regular company obtained their information, they might feel insecure, but since it was a nation gathering this data, there was no fear.
After all,
It was unlikely for an ordinary person to contest anything with a nation.
Listening to the discussion,
The driver took a sip of tea.
He looked at the camera not far ahead.
"It’s also because of the strict road surveillance, timely feedback, and concrete evidence that such efficiency is possible. Our domestic efforts are expanding the highway surveillance network, but we’ll never have such comprehensive coverage as here."
"Relatively speaking, many things here are actually non-replicable. For example, look on our right, the emergency lane is always clear and unobstructed. And yet, they don’t dare to even put a wheel over it."
"Otherwise, the fines and point deductions would be settled right at the upcoming checkpoints. You can’t use someone else’s driver’s license to deduct points. Without addressing the offense, the violating vehicle simply won’t pass through the toll station up ahead..."
"..."
Inside the vehicle.
Those with a driver’s license gasped.
Damn.
"There’s even such a procedure."
No wonder the emergency lane at the scene of the incident remained empty with no police presence, yet no one dared to use it. Indeed, only prompt and enforced penalties could control a person’s hand on the steering wheel.
But that’s really harsh.
A fine for every violation.
You can’t even get past the toll station without paying a fine. It must be said, this method is ruthlessly effective. With substitute point deductions not an option, and without paying fines, given the density of highway surveillance in this area, it’s nearly impossible to make a long journey.
