Re: rushing through the red light to threaten traffic safety, why do old cars go on the streets?
during the afternoon school hours, several brightly colored "elderly scooters" are particularly prominent in front of the kindergarten near Jiayuan Road, Beijing. An old man told reporters: "buying this car is to pick up grandchildren after school. I am too old to take a driving license or to drive a child's car. With this kind of scooter, Sun Tzu doesn't need to be caught in the rain. It's still very convenient. "
but, after the old man drove away, the reporter found that the child had been playing with the old man in the car, without any safety measures such as the seat belt. The old scooter is also rocking because of children's playing in the car.
"those of us who have scooters travel more frequently than those without cars, almost 4 times a day. For old people who do not have a scooter, they will be inconvenient to travel. Tan Hui told reporters that in the purpose of the elderly, taking children up and down learning and shopping accounted for a large proportion. "Young people now have little time to take children up and down, and some public facilities are not distributed reasonably, which increase the cost and inconvenience of the elderly, and the step car has become more convenient and convenient." Travel tools.
Tan Hui told reporters, for example, for example, in the neighborhood in which he lived, 20 minutes from the nearest kindergarten, "to be honest, many elderly people feel tired if they walk more than 10 minutes." The scooter is fast, the body is small, it can carry people's load, and it doesn't jam traffic. It meets the needs of our old people's rapid passage.
real demand has also become the reason why some children buy old age scooters for their parents.
"my only worry now is whether the speed will be very fast. My father wanted a car very much last year. He can't drive a car and he is over 60 years old. He didn't want him to take his driving license. However, they are very inconvenient to go out, and it is even more worrying to ride electric bicycles in windy and rainy days. And from our home, we have to walk two kilometers to get to the bus stop. " Lu Zhi, who lives in a city in Henan, told reporters by telephone, "we are all here, buy cars with good conditions, and the economic conditions are usually driven by motorcycles, tricycles and electric bicycles." Winter is cold, summer sun, old people ride a bicycle is also suffering, as long as the speed is not fast, we feel that the use of "elderly Scooter" is nothing.
disorderly
it is understood that the real "old age carrier" is a medical device. The speed of the car is basically within 10 kilometers per hour, with low speed, brakes, safety, and convenience, and can not drive on the motorway.
, however, the reporter found that the "older generation car" appeared on the road in many cities and cities across the country, with a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, and the price range from 5000 to 60000 yuan. Businesses sell "old scooters" without requiring any driving qualification and no need to worry about road traffic violations.
"the old age Scooter" in the market is now in disorder. No matter the quality parameters, speed or driving range, safety technical performance of these cars can not reach the current electric vehicle standards, and it is not included in the Ministry of industry and letter "road motor vehicle production enterprises and product bulletin", production has no unified standard. Chai Wei, an insurance company who has dealt with such traffic violations, told reporters that the law stipulates that the state has a registration system for motor vehicles, and the motor vehicles can go on the road by the traffic management department of the public security organs, and the speed limit of non motor vehicles is less than 15 kilometers per hour. "And these 'older cars' are not like motor vehicles, compared to non motor vehicles, and some even speed up to fifty or sixty kilometers, so there is a huge hidden danger." "
" the current production of low speed electric vehicles is mainly the quality of sightseeing cars and special vehicles, and these cars are mainly run in special scenes and road conditions, such as scenic spots, train stations, etc., so the application of low speed cars to the field of social traffic is no legal basis. Low speed electric vehicle industry practitioners Yu Yonglin told reporters that, for a long time, the existence of low speed electric vehicles, social praise, it is said that the existence is reasonable, also have to say must be banned.
Sun Haolin, who has worked on an improved design and improvement of an electric step car, told reporters that there is no specific specification for the older generation of tools in our country, whether it is a wheelchair or an "older generation", which only meet the needs of the users, and do not cooperate with the environment used. Therefore, active public products are hidden in potential hazards to users and other people in the environment.
"however, the" old age Scooter "has its existing needs, so it is very difficult to ban it. Sun Haolin believes that in urban and rural rural areas under three or four lines, because the traffic does not develop in large and medium-sized cities, the cheap "older generation" can bring a lot of convenience to the middle and low income population and the old people, which can not be ignored in this part of the market.
