Crackdown on unlicensed vehicles
Print Edition
AT least 170 motorists were fined for driving unlicensed vehicles over the past week as Shanghai continued its three-month citywide crackdown on traffic violations.
The Shanghai Traffic Law Enforcement Team identified 58 key areas, including airports and railway stations, that warranted enhanced enforcement over the past seven days.
On Tuesday afternoon, the drivers of six private cars were caught illegally operating their vehicles as taxis at Shanghai South Railway Station.
Later that day, six more “clone taxis” were caught in Songjiang District’s Jiuting area between 8pm and midnight. The violators had their driving licenses suspended for three to six months and were fined 10,000 yuan (US$1,547) to 50,000 yuan.
Shanghai police reported 39 cases in which people refused to cooperate with police officers after committing traffic offences. Some attempted to escape when caught by police, and some even attacked officers.
On March 26, a man was found parking his car in a non-motor vehicle lane on Gongyuan Road in Qingpu District. He refused to drive the car away after officers arrived, claiming the vehicle had run out of fuel.
When one was about to issue a ticket, the driver started abusing the officer, and drove the car away from the scene. He was later found and detained by police for interfering with law enforcement.
Outer Ring Road ban
Vehicles using non-local temporary car plates will be banned from entering the area inside the city’s Outer Ring Road from April 10, another step for the city government’s effort to ease traffic congestions, Shanghai Public Security Bureau said yesterday.
Many local car-plate bidders whose Shanghai temporary car plates have expired after three months often resort to using a non-local temporary plate.
The last car plate auction in Shanghai drew a record 200,000 bidders, but the success rate fell to 3.7 percent from 4.3 percent in February.
