Such people, who have no scruples and who can sacrifice other people's lives for personal interest, should be punished severely.
Unfortunately, there seems to be little action from the road authorities to curb such behaviors. Traffic police might have adopted some measures but the control must have been too weak to be effective, for there are still many drivers willing and daring to drive illegally through emergency lanes.
Besides the weak management of the traffic authorities, lenient punishment is the other major reason why violation of traffic rules is so rampant. The fine for driving on an emergency lane is 200 yuan ($28) in China. That sum is not heavy enough to deter motorists from risking it, for the chance of being caught is slim.
To compare the traffic management between China and other countries, I searched for information on the Internet and found that the penalty for driving in an emergency lane in certain Western countries is not significantly heavier than that in China.
What is different, however, is that traffic management in Western countries is more mature and their citizens have a stronger sense of respect for the law. Deliberate violation of traffic laws is far less rampant.
In China, it has been only a few years since people began owning cars. Road ethics is far from being common sense among the increasing number of motorists. And so rapid has been the increase in the number of vehicles and so crowded are the roads in Chinese cities that existing number of traffic policemen are far from enough to stop all traffic violations. Hence, the chance of violators being caught is slim. In other words, the cost of violating traffic laws is low. That is why so many people dare to run the risk.
