A few days ago, truck driver Jin Deqiang committed suicide by drinking pesticide after being fined 2,000 yuan for a Beidou system drop, which triggered a wild wave online. Truckers know that he committed suicide with the intention of speaking out for truckers, so they have posted to expose more of the authorities’ shady practices of using Beidou satellite positioning driving recorders to control and exploit truckers.
According to reports, a large truck driver can earn about 200-400 yuan a day, just out of the car was fined 2,000 yuan, as a father of three children, and shoulders the responsibility of retirement, Jin Deqiang momentarily can not accept. It is reported that Jin Deqiang dying account only 6,000 yuan.
Card users disclosed that the Beidou satellite positioning recorder is a truck must be installed equipment, one of its roles is to limit driver fatigue, the driver must rest 20 minutes for four hours of driving. If the recorder is maliciously damaged, a fine of more than 2,000 yuan and less than 5,000 yuan will be imposed.
Beidou drops mainly for the following reasons: 1, bad signal; 2, hardware equipment failure; 3, driver-initiated malicious, by pulling the card, power off, etc. caused by dropping the line. Since malicious drops may face serious penalties, usually drivers do not take this approach, basically the first two reasons.
Card users complained that the large car drivers in the payment of nearly 3,000 yuan installation fee, and a few hundred yuan per year to charge a service fee. But such a high cost of use, the stability and usefulness of Beidou is not as good as the free navigation app, frequent system updates offline problems.
Card users ask: the law requires drivers to take a mandatory 20-minute break every four hours, and the original intention of the Beidou system was to consider the safety of drivers. But when it comes to implementation, is it humane to consider the plight of large car drivers? What if there is an unexpected situation? During holidays or traffic jams, some service areas will be full of traffic and put up signs to prohibit large trucks from entering the service area to rest. At this time, do not turn off the engine, immediately to the four-hour barrier, the driver in order not to be deducted 2000 yuan, do not dare to turn off the Beidou, and do not dare to drive. Therefore can only choose to park the car in the service area lane, and then directly deducted 200 yuan 3 points, which is already a good result. Then what if you encounter special road? Some national roads mountain roads are long, there is no rest stop in the middle, to 4 hours how to do?
Netizens released a video to disclose the problems with the Beidou driving recorder: I have encountered many penalties myself. I was in Laos for more than 2 months at the beginning of this year, it automatically went offline, and when I returned to the country I was given a 2000. I came back to the company that installed it: do you charge or not my annual fee? I spent the money, but also everywhere to take the risk, but also to be fined. How do we know it’s offline when we examine the driver? The display is all lit up, but you can’t see it online. Many areas use it as a tool for punishment now.
There are also netizens who disclose that some Beidou driving recorders often have inexplicable failures: the car is parked over here and has not moved for an afternoon, but Beidou shows: the car is driving at a speed of 3.4 kilometers per hour. The Beidou system kept warning and kept ringing, saying it was fatigue driving. I was wondering, my car was not moving, how could it be fatigue driving?
Known as the “most bull truck driver” in the back of his truck wrote: If the heavens have eyes, gender conversion in the next life, rather than sell their bodies in a green house, never drive a truck!
