[quote=JIMMYB,480620]BBQQ, Shijiazhuang also announces a new regulation. Jaywalkers will be fined CNY 50. If a swarm of people cross the road when red light is on, the first three will be fined. Why are the first three jaywalkers punished? They are regarded as the bad examples that break the traffic law at first and then others follow them to cross the roads. I think the above regulation can’t be put into practice easily. First, there are not enough traffic police because there are too many crossroads in the city. Second, some areas don’t have surveillance cameras. When you catch the first three jaywalkers, they will deny that they are not the first three to break the rule. China started to establish credit files for its citizens few years ago. Those who had bad credit history will have problem when they apply for loans from the banks. Currently, it just focuses on credit card delinquency and those who borrow money from the banks but don’t pay back on time. In my opinion, the credit system should include jaywalking too. If you jaywalk a time, you will face high loan rate than other people. If you jaywalk two times, you won’t get loan from the banks. You know, CNY 50 or 100 is not a big deal to some people. The punishment is too light. From next year, the drivers who run against the traffic lights will be deducted six points. This is a severe punishment. Currently, they are just deducted 3 points. If a driver is deducted 12 points, he/she will be forced to study the traffic law. [/quote]
