With the development of science and technology, we in modern society can personally feel that life is becoming more and more convenient, taking travel as an example, from the ancient horse-drawn carriages, palanquins and other inefficient means of transportation, now the means of transport have basically been fully "electrified", "fuel motorization", which greatly improves our travel efficiency.
However, the upgrade of transportation in power has also increased a certain threshold for the road, such as driving a model that belongs to a motor vehicle, you need to hold a driver's license, such management is beyond reproach, so that drivers can have a certain grasp of safety awareness and operation skills, which is conducive to road safety.
However, the vehicle on the road needs a driver's license, in fact, it is not friendly to the elderly, especially the elderly over 70 years old, we take the D certificate required for electric tricycles as an example, its application age is 60 years old, the maximum age of driving is 70 years old, and more than 70 years old can not drive the model of the D license.
However, as the elderly over 70 years old, they also have travel needs, if it is in a city with developed transportation, it is easy to do, there is public transportation can solve the problem of travel, but for some of the elderly who are not developed, travel will be affected to a certain extent.
Although the impact is there, but the small connoisseurs feel that these effects are limited, after all, the D license to drive the electric tricycle is not used, there are many can be used, small connoisseurs today for everyone to inventory there are 4 types of models, the road threshold is relatively low, can meet the short-distance transportation, the elderly over 70 years old can also be used, but also very practical.
Category 1: Electric vehicles in the category of non-motorized vehicles
According to Article 119 of the "Road Traffic Law": "Non-motorized vehicles" refers to means of transportation driven by human or animal power, driving on the road, as well as motorized vehicles with maximum speed, empty vehicle quality, and external dimensions that meet relevant national standards.
Common non-motorized vehicles include: all models of human or animal power, and electric drive models also include electric bicycles, electric wheelchair cars, etc., for the elderly over 70 years old, the latter 2 are still relatively good means of transportation, especially wheelchair cars, the current wheelchair car control is very intelligent, the endurance is also good, suitable for the elderly people to travel.
Category 2: Electric vehicles classified as lightweight
Although motor vehicles need to be driven, but the mainland driving license as many as 16 levels, each level of examination and use of standards are not consistent, among them, light classification of electric vehicles, they need is the "F" level driver's license, and this driver's license belongs to the exam is easy, generally 1 day can get a certificate, in addition, the test fee is low, there is no upper age requirement.
The electric vehicles that belong to the lightweight classification mainly include 2 kinds: the first is a two-wheeled electric vehicle with a speed of> 25 km / h but 50 km / h ≤, and the other is a non-closed leisure electric tricycle, while the small connoisseur feels that the latter is more suitable for the elderly over 70 years old, can pick up the baby to carry people, can buy vegetables for transportation.
Category 3: Old age scooters that meet the national standard
This is a common model on the road, miniature four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles, also known as the old scooter, it is better in comfort, generally there will be warm air or air conditioning, reversing images, audio and video entertainment and other configurations, and in terms of safety, four-wheel design, safer frame, body, are compared to ordinary two-wheeled, three-wheeled electric vehicles, will be safer.
However, the small connoisseur should remind everyone that although the old scooter does not need a driver's license now, however, these models do not have the qualifications to go on the road, if you choose the old scooter, to identify some models that meet the "national standard", this kind of car meets the relevant national industry standards, is allowed to be licensed models, she needs is a C2 driver's license, and this kind of driver's license and F license, there is no age limit for application and use, however, it will be slightly higher in the difficulty and cost of the exam, but overall, It is also a model that is more suitable for the elderly.
Category 4: Two-wheeled, three-wheeled, four-wheeled mopeds
The last type of model, the use rate in the mainland is not so high, but in foreign countries, this kind of car is very popular, it is a manpower + electricity at the same time to assist the model, when riding it, there will be a certain electric drive, so that riding becomes very relaxed, will not be as expendable as pure human riding, of course, it will not be like an electric car, completely do not need strength.
And this kind of and bicycle similar models, they in the speed, power will be subject to certain constraints, therefore, relatively safe, for this type of car, throughout the country, are not required to drive a license, of course, in the mainland the identity of this type of car is not clear, at present, is not the need for a driver's license can be on the road, for the elderly, two-wheeled, three-wheeled, four-wheeled moped, can be selected according to their own needs, they are able to meet the needs of short-distance travel.
Summary: Although the current electric vehicles in the road management is becoming stricter, there is a certain impact on the elderly, but in fact, it does not say, so that the elderly have no car available, about the elderly car, in fact, still retain the vast majority of models, whether 60 years old, 70 years old, 80 years old, can be used, and only some high-risk, hidden dangers uncontrollable models, only to limit the use of the elderly, such a purpose, but also for the elderly travel safety considerations, for the sake of the safety of the entire road.
So, which of the above 4 types of transportation do you think is more suitable for the elderly? Comments are welcome.
