Recently, a video of a driving school coach car "going up the tree" was posted on online social platforms to attract attention. The video shows that the place where the incident occurred is located in the Songjiaba Industrial Concentration Zone, Changning County, Yibin, Sichuan Province, a white coach car was hanging on a tall tree, three or four meters from the ground, some branches were broken, there were many onlookers around, and next to the tree was suspected to be a driving school training ground. On the Internet, many people discussed the statement that the coach car "went up the tree", some people thought that it might be the driving school students who "drove" the car on the tree, and should pay attention to safety when learning to drive, and some people thought that the video may be a "pose" video, which is very unsafe.

On 13/0, the cover news reporter learned from relevant departments such as Yibin City and Changning County Internet Information and Transportation that the video was a "posing" video planned by a driving school in Changning County in order to gain attention, and it was not a student who "drove" the coach car on the tree. After the incident, the local Cyberspace Administration of China, transportation management, public security traffic police and other relevant departments immediately interviewed the person in charge of the driving school and asked him to delete the false information posted on the social platform account. At the same time, the Cyberspace Administration of China also carried out online legal popularization of the driving school personnel, and the transportation department also said that it would further strengthen the safety education and management of driving schools.

The reporter noticed that nowadays, on online platforms, it is not uncommon to fabricate fake stories and "pose" fake videos with content such as deliberately "selling miserably" and "hunting", which often mislead the public and frequently cause controversy. The driving school personnel who carried out the "posing photo" also said after the incident that the competition in driving schools is now large, and the planning of the driving school coach car "on the tree" video is to attract attention and win traffic.
