Is there an overtime fee for private cars on highways?
1 Answers
Private cars do not incur overtime fees on highways; they are charged based on mileage. The highway overtime fee refers to a penalty measure implemented to combat toll evasion by drivers, applicable when a vehicle spends more than 24 hours within the highway network or more than 12 hours on the same highway route. The concept of time limits on highways is calculated by dividing the distance between highway entry and exit points by the minimum speed limit, primarily aimed at improving road usage efficiency and preventing toll evasion. If a vehicle suddenly breaks down during the journey, relevant maintenance records should be retained. In cases where repairs are done without third-party verification, a short video can be recorded during the repair process, ensuring to capture prominent roadside signs. This way, even without third-party documentation, one can prove their innocence when exiting the highway.
