Why is the domestic motorcycle not regulated, but directly banned?

In short, "no motorcycles" is the same as "no motorcycles on the highway", just a reflection of a bunch of backward rules. Telling one lie determines the need to lie more in the future.

At first, the ban on motorcycles was just to ban this part, but it was found that there was no way to separate this part of the motorcycle. In other words, when implementing this policy, the government may realize that China has not implemented a "classification system" for motorcycles, resulting in 100cc motorcycles and 1000cc motorcycles.

This is also an easy explanation for why motorcycles are forbidden to travel on the highway. Although 50cc-150cc is also called a motorcycle, it is somewhat difficult to run to 80, just enough to meet the minimum speed requirement of high speed, lack of overtaking ability, narrow tires, poor stability, and difficult to detect (the United Kingdom and Japan have displacement restrictions on motorcycles on high speeds). Can such a motorcycle be on the high speed? If you can, there are too many such motorcycles, and most of them are 125-way motorcycles, which are extremely common.

Guangdong traffic police will be a headache for the motorcycle return army every year, and later developed to both send food and drink, but also free fuel, encourage motorcycles not to go to the high speed.

At this time, the large row of motorcycles that meet the speed requirements begin to cry out. Why does the state stipulate that motorcycles can be on the highway, but some places are not allowed to get on? The reason is that no matter how large the displacement, the law does not classify motorcycles, that is, there is only one type of motorcycle.

Because of the lack of a motorcycle grading system, China's driving test system is also complete. D-photo three-wheeled motorcycle can drive E-photo two-wheeled motorcycle, and E-photo is applicable to all two-wheeled motorcycles, regardless of displacement.

The model used in the exam is a pathway motorcycle, such as the Wuyang Honda CG125, 125cc air-cooled engine, 110 kg, priced at 8000, and the speed can not even break 100. After obtaining a driver's license through such a motorcycle, the model actually driven by the young driver is the Kawasaki Ninjia 400, 400cc water-cooled engine, which costs 50,000 yuan, weighs 168 kilograms, and accelerates by 4 seconds.

Are these two cars one car? Are driving skills the same?

After getting on the road, you will also find a lot of unreasonable places, a motorcycle with an acceleration time of 4 seconds is only allowed to drive in the rightmost lane, and then you realize that the ban on motorcycles is just one of many unreasonable regulations. The fundamental reason is that Chinese motorcycle companies have not grown, China has no motorcycle culture, and the official has not taken into account such a niche market as motorcycles.

As for making way for a car, "don't see or hear things, but assume that they are there or not, can they be". People are more willing to believe what they are willing to believe, even though it is wrong.

A medium and large displacement motorcycle pays no less taxes than a car, including purchase taxes, and the insurance part is even more expensive than a car, at the same time, motorcycles are also an important part of China's manufacturing exports.

Encouraging cars through the ban on motorcycles is not logically self-consistent. Motorcycles are relatively open and dangerous, and in the face of the price of the mid-row motorcycle, ordinary families are more willing to buy cars. Moreover, for motorcycles under 150cc, the government has exempted the purchase tax, if it is suppressed, should not it be a tax increase?

There are also many cities that not only ban motorcycles, but also cars. Beijing single and double number, Shanghai lottery number, Shanghai C can not enter the inner ring, Guangzhou open four stop four, trucks can not enter the city during the day. Cities have the same attitude towards all means of transport to solve congestion.

To sum up, the ban on motorcycles is based on a series of factors such as the chaotic state of motorcycles in the past, the lagging motorcycle license system, unreasonable motorcycle road norms, and subjective motorcycle dangers.

So motorcycles need to be thoroughly reformed from top to bottom to open a new era of motorcycles, but at present the country has more important things to do, and the niche market of motorcycles has not been paid attention to.

In order to more thoroughly understand the background of the "no motorcycle policy" and the "prohibition of motorcycles on the highway", it is necessary to talk about the dangers of motorcycles and the ecology of chinese motorcycles. There is a logic very convincing when it comes to motorcycle driver's licenses and motorcycle dangers.

In China, the tricycle D license can directly drive an E-license two-wheeled motorcycle, which is very unreasonable. The three-wheel structure determines that it can only exist as a low-speed vehicle, and the high-speed stability of the three-wheel structure is very poor compared to the four-wheeled car. Common low-speed electric vehicles and agricultural machinery use three-wheel structures, which are characterized by their lack of speed, similar to tractors.

In the past, three-wheeled motorcycles existed as "agricultural tools", not as "nephews" as they are now understood. Because the three-wheeled motorcycle has a body that is actually wider than the two-wheeled motorcycle, the driving difficulty is indeed higher than that of the two-wheeled motorcycle, which was determined by the early Chinese motorcycle ecology.

Before the advent of large-displacement two-wheeled motorcycles, China's two-wheeled motorcycles would often exist as means of transport, carrying gas cans, crops, straw, etc. in the back seat, far beyond the width of the body, making it have some of the characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle.

On this basis, in order to regulate these behaviors, traffic management has formulated rules that three-wheeled motorcycles can drive two-wheeled motorcycles, and because both motorcycles are used as low-speed means of transportation and the "Huinong" policy, the difficulty of motorcycle driving license tests has been artificially reduced, and a completely different driving test system has been formed from overseas. Early access mopeds, the speed will not exceed 50 km/h.

This also directly leads to the formulation of subsequent motorcycle traffic rules and the inherent cognition of drivers. As a structure with an engine installed on the bicycle frame, a motorcycle is defined as a "motor vehicle" with a speed exceeding the safe range, but the maximum speed cannot be compared with that of a car, so it has to be specifically regulated for motorcycles.

The maximum speed limit for including motorcycles is 80km/h. Motorcycles must travel on the far right of the motorized lane, because the far right is the slowest lane; motorcycles are not allowed to go to high speeds because motorcycles are low-speed tools; this long-term impression has led many car drivers and individual traffic police to believe that motorcycles are "non-motorized vehicles" and should take non-motorized lanes, but the law also stipulates that accidents in non-motorized lanes are fully responsible for motor vehicles.

Motorcycles have always been in a dilemma, and this dilemma is even more embarrassing when encountering heavy machines, that is, heavy machines have surpassed cars in performance, but they can only act according to the norms of previous mopeds.

Nowadays, motorcycles have actually derived two definitions: one is a motorcycle, that is, a motorcycle in the conventional sense of understanding, a small displacement of cross-riding, pedal-based means of transportation; the other is a locomotive, which is a concept that domestic motorcycle companies focus on, heavy machinery means large displacement, power, weight beyond the general motorcycle.

This poses a very big challenge for motorists.

The question is, how do you fix this? Things started wrong in the first place. For example, tricycles as low-speed vehicles, the lower the speed is more stable, the heavy machine as a two-wheeled motorcycle, the lower the speed is more unstable, while the weight, power leads to the heavy machine needs higher technology than the three-wheeled motorcycle, which is contrary to the logic of China's D license direct driving E license, E license driving all two-wheeled motorcycles.

It is no wonder that motorcycle driver's licenses are managed overseas according to displacement.

A large number of D-license users driving a motorcycle is equivalent to a person who does not know anything to come up and engage in a relatively dangerous and threshold sport, which is basically equivalent to "crossing the river by feeling the stones with his life", resulting in a growing public opinion on the unsafe motorcycle. Under this kind of public opinion, the government is even more silent about lifting the ban on motorcycles. Out of respect for life, this kind of thing will not be let go.

You will find that if you want to change, it is impossible to change only one policy, you need to change from beginning to end, whether it is road traffic, or driver's license management, and the city's ban on motorcycles. However, where are these so easy, and what is the motivation for change? After all, more is better than less.

Before the driver's license reform, before the hierarchical management of motorcycles, the one-size-fits-all approach to motorcycles was controversial, but there was no way. This backward policy is the result of being forced on top of a bunch of more backward policies.

As for the ban on motorcycles looking inhumane today, it is because the positioning of motorcycles has changed. Chinese people have begun to transition from "buy a motorcycle if you can't afford a car" to "buy a motorcycle if you already have a car", and tools have gradually become toys, and policies have not responded to this trend.
