Take the new Shenzhen traffic law for instance. The authorities have drafted it to address the serious road safety situation in the developed coastal city, which has more vehicles and worse traffic jams and accidents than, for example, a town in Qinghai province.
Again, the heavier punishment stipulated in the Shenzhen law is suitable to the local conditions. A 200-yuan fine for jumping the red lightmay be unbearable for a resident in the Qinghai town but it is definitely not heavy enough for a motorist in Shenzhen. Places with different conditions need different measures to deal with problem of a similar nature. This is so simple a logic, but the "experts" seem to be ignorant about it. The Shenzhen law prescribes a fine of 1,000 yuan for jumping the red light, which the "experts" say is very high. Nobody wants to jump the red light, they say, though "in many cases, people do it unintentionally for instance, when their car is behind a large vehicle that blocks the traffic lights from their view."
This argument is not convincing to the least. The fact is that most motorists who jump the red light do so intentionally with a try-the-luck mentality. If a motorist follows the rule on keeping safe distance between two vehicles, it would not be difficult for him/her to see the yellow and red lights.
Shenzhen's new traffic law gives enough consideration to the possibility of people violating rules unintentionally. It says minor offenders will be cautioned the first time, and only those found to have violated the rules repeatedly will be fined.
