The free highway period during the National Day holiday is from 0:00 on October 1 to 24:00 on October 7, a total of 7 days. In previous years, car owners were able to get off the expressway for free at check-in points. However, if the check-in point failed, they would have to pay the expressway toll out of their own pockets.
A few days ago, a video uploaded by a netizen showed that at around 23:59 on October 7, he drove his vehicle through the Yixian toll station. The expressway was still free for a short period of time and the toll railing did not fall down.
But when the vehicle is about to leave the toll station,Because after 24:00, the toll railing suddenly dropped, and the vehicle in the video braked suddenly to avoid being hit by the railing.
In desperation, the car owner reversed away from the front of the car and took out the money from the ETC lane next to it and got off the highway.
Here, car owners need to be reminded that when they get stuck on the expressway, in addition to speeding, they are also prone to accidents; and if they encounter traffic jams, they will still miss the free period.
Therefore, if the free highway period is about to end, you can get off the highway at a highway intersection closer to the vehicle and then get on the highway again.
