more and more unlicensed old age carrier to drive on the road. Zhang Zhong, "I have a geriatric card. Driver's license? I don't have. " On the afternoon of 16, Ji'nan Tianqiao traffic police in the area to investigate and deal with the illegal traffic behavior of the elderly, hearing the driver's license, many drivers are surprised, do not know to open this kind of car and driving license. Traffic police said that three to 40% of Ji'nan's traffic accidents were related to electric vehicles or elderly scooters. In recent years, on the streets of Ji'nan, there are a number of vehicles called the elderly, which are mostly electric drive, no license plate, and many drivers have no driver's license and no driving training. "It's dangerous to see any kind of car anywhere on the road, no matter where it's drilled or what traffic rules it is." Ms. song, a resident of the Xiang Xiang Lane in Tianqiao District, said that the elderly scooters on the streets have really been on the rise recently. The responsible person in charge of the Tianqiao traffic police team introduced that this kind of old and electric tricycle, according to the provisions of the road traffic safety law, belongs to the category of motor vehicles, on the road, the number of motor vehicles should be suspended, and the license of the vehicle should be carried with the car. At 2:30 on the afternoon of 16, the Tianqiao traffic police were investigated and dealt with the old age rode on the road near the intersection of the West Road of Ming Lake. In 10 minutes, there were 3 old rob cars and three drivers were older than 50 years old. All of them had no driving license and no license plates. One of them was a 65 year old man. The traffic policeman asked for his driver's license. He looked puzzled and repeatedly said, "I have an old card." Reporters at the scene saw that the old scooters on the road were mostly tricycles, and there were a few four wheeled vehicles without exception. Some are on non motorized lanes, others are in driveways or even retrograde. "Illegal activities such as random occupying, turning around, retrograde, and running red lights are very common." The policeman on duty said that the driver did not obey the traffic rules and put on the old age, and the reaction speed was reduced. Driving the old scooter had great security risks. "Do not have to hang up" as a manufacturer propaganda gimmicks at present, the traffic police department does not have a driver's license, the vehicle is not listed for the elderly driver's punishment, mainly by propaganda and education, to the driver to explain the vehicle belongs to the motor vehicle, the need to register card test license. Reporters follow the traffic police law enforcement process, many passers-by voluntarily approached. Mr. Li, a worker in the new village, said that the old scooter was not frozen in winter and could afford to buy it. Seeing the traffic police investigating and investigating so many illegal steps, Mr. Li would like to know: "how can I legally open this kind of car and where to do it?" the traffic police have no unified standard of production for the country, and the entrance threshold of the vehicle production enterprise is low. Most of the vehicles are not registered within the scope of "motor vehicle production enterprises and product bulletin board" issued by departments such as the Ministry of industry and information, and the traffic police department will not be able to register the registration of the owners according to law. Under such circumstances, manufacturers that sell and sell such vehicles are also used as publicity gimmicks. Due to the lack of training experience in driving schools, most drivers do not have strong awareness of traffic rules. This reporter Zhang Tailai is unlicensed and unlicensed to break the red light of the "pocket car", let people knead the sweat with the weather cooling, there is a kind of electric four wheeled car that can cover the wind and rain in the streets of Heze, this small electric four wheeled car looks like a reduced version of the car. Nowadays, in the streets and alleys of Heze, the number of "mini cars" called "old age scooters" is quite numerous. Reporters learned that such vehicles without license plates, but still in the motor vehicle lane, frequent red light, chaotic parking behavior such as people really pinch sweat.
"mini four wheel"
maximum speed 60 km
smaller than the ordinary two cars, no board, do not burn gasoline, do not need driver's license, "mini four wheel" has been recognized by many middle-aged and elderly citizens. The mini - four - wheeled vehicle based on "the older generation" is generally upgraded from the three - wheel version to the four - wheel version. It is not carefully observed, and it is really thought to be an ordinary car.
reporters understand that the mini electric four wheeled vehicle has an average price of 1-3 yuan, and it can accommodate two to four people. As long as charging 8 hours, the farthest can travel more than 100 kilometers, the speed is generally 30-40 km, the maximum speed of up to 60 km.
the salesman of an electric car shop said that the car is small and convenient, no fuel consumption and shelter from the wind, because the size is small, even in the traffic congestion section, it is also easy to stop and find parking space is very convenient. It is a good choice to pick up children, or as an old age walking tool.
"less than ten thousand yuan to buy a scooter, shelter from wind and rain, do not spend money in driving schools, pick up children, buy vegetables, shopping, very convenient." Lao Liu, who lives in Yucai Road, often drives his own car to pick up his granddaughter, buy vegetables and go shopping. He can run more than 50 kilometers every night.
once the accident
car damage probability high
in peace road and China Road intersection, less than 20 minutes the reporter found more than 10 electric four wheeled vehicles running on the motorway. In the peace road and Zhongshan Road intersection, some motor vehicles are waiting for the traffic lights, a white QQ four wheeled electric vehicle is speeding through, and other normal vehicles are busy avoiding the move.
reporter has learned that the electric four wheeled vehicle is fast, the driver has not been trained, the knowledge of road traffic safety knowledge is very little, there is a great danger of safety on the road, and the vehicle does not enter the household, can not handle the vehicle insurance, the safety of the driver and the passenger can not be guaranteed, and it is difficult to claim if the accident occurs. Driving an electric four wheel vehicle is very dangerous for the elderly with relatively slow response, and most drivers do not have a driver's license to go on the road, and little is known about traffic rules. Driving four wheeled electric vehicles on the road seems very convenient, but in fact, there is a great risk of traffic accidents.
the greater danger of the four wheeled electric vehicle is that, although the speed reaches the standard of the motor vehicle, there is no collision test, and the body design is generally without any protection. "Under normal driving conditions, once a collision occurs, the probability of a car being destroyed will be very high." Mr. Su, the owner of a car repair shop, said.
