2 Answers
Empty driving prohibition refers to the situation where (motor vehicles, etc.) are driving without carrying any cargo or passengers, which is prohibited. Driving precautions are as follows: Slow down and proceed with caution When passing through signalized intersections, slow down and maintain a safe braking distance, especially when the yellow light is flashing, do not accelerate to rush through. Choose the correct lane When motor vehicles pass through intersections controlled by traffic signals and with designated lanes, they should enter the designated lane according to the intended direction of travel. Do not drive straight in a turning lane or turn in a straight lane. Plan your route reasonably Before entering an intersection, pay attention to the road signs and lane direction signs set up at the intersection, and plan your route reasonably. Do not cross the single or double solid lines at the intersection.
I've been driving trucks for freight transport for over a decade. Empty truck prohibition simply means not allowing empty trucks to run. In short, trucks without cargo can't hit the road. The government implemented this rule to reduce environmental pollution and traffic congestion. In the past, we drivers often drove empty trucks to look for cargo. Now, if caught driving empty, we face fines ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan plus penalty points. This regulation forces us to plan routes in advance and wait until the truck is fully loaded before departure, saving fuel and money while protecting the air. The benefits are cleaner cities with less smog and reduced operating costs, but the hassle is having to constantly monitor orders to avoid empty runs. I think the policy's intention is good, but in practice, it creates significant work pressure. If cargo doesn't arrive on time, it's extremely stressful. In any case, we must follow the rules and prioritize safety.
