Can Road Administration Intercept Vehicles on the Road?
2 Answers
Road administration personnel are not allowed to chase or intercept vehicles on the road, but they can notify toll stations ahead, overload inspection stations, or law enforcement officers to conduct inspections. The following are precautions for vehicle driving: Pre-departure vehicle inspection: Before setting off each day, conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, including checking for oil or water leaks; measure tire pressure to ensure it is appropriate; inspect the engine oil condition; and verify that the spare tire is intact. Be cautious when wading through water: If encountering flooded roads, be aware of the water depth and the condition of the road beneath the water to determine if it exceeds the vehicle's capability. It is not advisable to attempt wading through water if the depth exceeds half the height of the car's tires.
When driving on highways, we often encounter road administration officers setting up checkpoints to inspect vehicles. As law enforcement personnel from the transportation management department, they indeed have the authority to stop vehicles on the road for safety inspections, such as checking for overload or verifying the completeness of documents. According to traffic safety regulations, they must set up clear warning signs at designated locations and use professional equipment like warning lights to guide traffic, ensuring the operation is lawful. However, drivers also have the right to request their credentials and an explanation to prevent abuse of power. I remember once passing through a checkpoint where a coach was stopped for carrying too many passengers, causing a delay, but upon reflection, it was beneficial for everyone's safety. It's advisable to remain calm and cooperative in such situations, ensuring you have your vehicle license and driver's license ready to avoid unnecessary trouble.
