"Praising SMS" Warms People's Hearts

2024-04-02

"Wenzhou traffic police give you a thumbs up: Your Zhejiang C ****** brand car decelerated ahead of the Lebai Road zebra crossing in Leqing City on March 24th in accordance with the law, and passed at a relatively safe speed (limited to 60 kilometers per hour, recommended not to exceed 40 kilometers per hour). Thank you for consciously complying with traffic regulations and achieving safe and civilized driving. Recently, the" praise text message "sent by Wenzhou traffic police has caused a lot of discussion and received many likes from netizens.". According to reports, these "boastful text messages" come from the accident prevention and early warning testing system of Wenzhou Traffic Police in Zhejiang. Starting from March 11th, the city's traffic police pilot will send likes, reminders, and warning messages to car owners who slow down in advance, pass at slightly faster speeds, and go too fast before crossing a zebra crossing. As of 3:00 pm on March 25th, the traffic police have sent 170000 relevant messages. When receiving a text message from a traffic police officer, people's first reaction is often a tightness in their hearts: Have they committed another traffic violation? The Wenzhou traffic police's "going against the trend" approach this time has indeed brightened people's eyes and warmed their hearts, conveying the warmth of humanized management. When a motor vehicle passes through a pedestrian crossing, it should slow down. This is a clear provision written in the Road Traffic Safety Law, which all drivers should abide by. When conducting traffic management, using mandatory methods such as fines and deduction of points may have an immediate effect. However, this can also easily lead to some problems. For example, some drivers tend to think more from the perspective of avoiding punishment rather than paying attention to driving safety. The local traffic police pointed out a phenomenon: "In places with monitoring methods, the punishment rate will be high, and people will pay attention not to violate regulations. In places without monitoring methods, the original situation will gradually reappear." Some experienced "veteran drivers" even formed a set of anti deduction strategies, which are clearly deviating from the original intention of legislation, such as being careful on which road sections and boldly opening "doors" in which areas. Moreover, in some places, the road conditions are more complex, such as the continuous appearance of close zebra crossings, more dense intersections, and incomplete traffic signal systems. Drivers who are not familiar with the situation are prone to poor speed control. If a "one size fits all" mandatory fine or deduction of points is imposed, sometimes it will not only fail to enhance the driver's sense of identification, but also make them feel aggrieved, resistant, and other psychological factors. Compared to others, Wenzhou traffic police use "boastful text messages" as an auxiliary means, which not only clearly informs drivers of the safe speed, but also provides them with full emotional value, making people feel a sense of identification in positive feedback, and thus generating a motivation to consciously comply with traffic regulations. Everyone understands and moves towards each other, working together to maintain good traffic order and make travel safer. As a netizen said in the comment section, "It's the sun rather than the wind that makes people take off their cotton clothes." The effectiveness of traffic police sending "praise messages" also indirectly confirms this truth. According to reports, before the launch of the "Kua Kua" mechanism in the local area, 25% of vehicles in the pilot area quickly passed through zebra crossings, but by March 24th, it had decreased to 20%, and the effective deceleration had increased from 32% to 36.2%. Fines and deductions are not the ultimate goal, making roads safer is the key. In recent years, the country has repeatedly issued orders to“
