This month, Mr. Qin, a citizen, has been rushing around for the compensation problem of damaging the expressway. In March, he had a car accident in Nanping section of the expressway, a broken fuel tank and a fire. If the car is broken, the diesel oil still leaks on the road. This item alone will compensate for more than 90,000 yuan. Mr. Qin was puzzled that the damaged road surface was less than 10 square meters, and other roads were only stained with diesel oil. Why did they all identify that the road surface was damaged?
Mr. Qin introduced that on March 16, he drove a truck with Shandong license plate from Hangzhou to Zhangzhou. When passing through the Nanping section of the high-speed highway, the car hit the reinforced concrete guardrail on the roadside, causing the fuel tank to rupture and the diesel oil to leak all over the ground. “The car walked dozens of meters forward due to inertia. I quickly stepped on the brake, and as a result, the tires were hot, igniting the diesel on the road, and the wheels were on fire.”
After the incident, the Nanping Expressway detachment of Fujian provincial traffic comprehensive administrative law enforcement corps (hereinafter referred to as “Nanping detachment”) determined that the area of asphalt pavement damage caused by the accident was 110 square meters. According to the calculation of 880 yuan per square meter, Mr. Qin has to compensate more than 90,000 yuan.
Mr. Qin has no objection to the number of areas. But he wondered why all of them were identified as pavement damage? “The damaged part of the road is mainly the place where the wheels are on fire, which should not exceed 10 square meters. Others are just leaking diesel oil, which does not cause damage to the road surface.”
Yesterday, the reporter contacted the Nanping detachment. Law enforcement officials said that “Fujian high-speed highway equipment damage compensation (compensation) compensation fee standard meter” indicated that the asphalt pavement surface damage “including excavation, damage and pollution of the road”, each square meter is to compensate 880 yuan. Diesel oil leaked to the asphalt road, which seemed to be not damaged in the short term, but actually there had been a chemical reaction. Generally, the pavement will be damaged within one year and needs to be repaired, so “polluted pavement” is equivalent to pavement damage. Law enforcement personnel suggest contacting the insurance company.
The reporter noticed that Lai Wenda, deputy director of provincial bureau of price, said last year that although the new highway equipment compensation fee for damage (compensation) increased, however, “since the vast majority of motor vehicle owners have purchased third-party liability insurance including compensation for highway equipment damage caused by the accident, the insurance company will bear the expenses that need to be paid once damage highway equipment occurs”.
Mr. Qin bought the third party liability insurance, to which the Jining branch of the insurance company said that the reply could be answered only after detailed understanding. (Haidu reporter Chen Wenhao)
