"100-ton king" refers to the seriously overloaded illegal freight vehicles with a total weight of more than 100 tons. Overloaded freight vehicles are "time bombs" on national, provincial and rural roads, which have major potential traffic safety hazards and pose a serious threat to the road traffic environment. Traffic accidents and road damage caused by these vehicles are also numerous.
"To tell you the truth, I'm afraid of dragging such a heavy cargo on the road. First, I'm afraid of being caught by you, and second, I'm afraid of having an accident!"
Faced with the criticism, education and severe punishment of the traffic police, Tang Mou-mou, a truck driver, was afraid and glad to pull so many goods. At about 13 o'clock on May 2,
2023, Tang Mou drove a Xiang M * * * * 9 heavy dump truck to G356 National Highway + 1203 km + 600 m in Qiyang City, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, which attracted the attention of the traffic police on duty. The police approached and found that the goods loaded by the truck driven by Tang Mou-mou had risen high to form a hill. The outer layer of the goods was simply fixed with a thin gauze. The sand and stone materials transported in the truck were high density and heavy weight, which easily caused overload. Weighing shows that the actual load of the vehicle is as high as 100.44 tons, while the total mass exceeding the maximum allowable load is only 31 tons, and the overload is 224%, which is a veritable "100-ton king".
Finally, the traffic police imposed a fine of 1500 yuan on the driver Tang Mou for driving a truck with more than 50% of the maximum allowable total mass (more than 100%), scored 6 points on his driver's license, and ordered him to transfer the goods.
Traffic police warned that overloading of freight vehicles is extremely harmful, because the weight of the goods is too heavy, the bearing capacity of the tire is limited, the temperature of the tire rises, and the tire is squashed by external forces, so it is easy to burst. Because the braking capacity of overloaded vehicles is greatly reduced, they can not stop at all in case of emergency, which causes great potential safety hazards to vehicles and pedestrians all over the body. At the same time, overloaded vehicles greatly exceed the design load of highways and bridges. Such overloaded vehicles will have a great destructive effect when they pass through highways and bridges for a long time, and eventually lead to road collapse, bridge collapse and other major harmful consequences.
