Dear car owners and drivers,
Hello everyone!
In recent years, with the rapid development of social economy, electric tricycles and low-speed electric four-wheeled vehicles (old-age scooters) have become the preferred means of transportation for many people due to their easy driving and low price. However, such vehicles bring convenience to everyone at the same time, driving without a license, not driving in accordance with the prescribed lanes, running signal lights, parking indiscriminately, driving in the opposite direction and other phenomena are becoming more and more serious, resulting in traffic chaos, road traffic capacity has decreased significantly, traffic management is becoming more and more difficult, and the call for illegal electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles to rectify is rising.
In order to ensure your legitimate rights and interests in transportation, Qingbaijiang Public Security warmly reminds you:
01
Purchase a vehicle that meets motor vehicle safety standards
At present, some electric tricycles and low-speed electric four-wheeled vehicles (old-age scooters) sold on the market are produced without the permission of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and are not included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcement" catalog, which does not meet the conditions for registration and listing in accordance with the law, and the vehicle performance does not meet the safety technical standards of motor vehicles. Before purchasing such vehicles, please log on to the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (https://www.miit.gov.cn/), and check whether the relevant vehicle model and manufacturer have obtained the access permit under the items of "Government Service Hall" and "Vehicle Production Access".
02
You can't be careless when driving an electric car
Electric tricycles, low-speed electric four-wheeled vehicles (old scooters) safety performance and protection performance is low, after a traffic accident, it is easy to cause casualties and property losses, and some three-wheeled and four-wheeled electric vehicles can not apply for license plates, so they can not buy compulsory traffic insurance and other motor vehicle commercial insurance, once a traffic accident occurs, the victim can not get the corresponding protection. If the electric vehicle is responsible for the accident, the driver will bear the corresponding civil compensation according to the proportion of liability.
03
Do not modify the vehicle without permission
Electric tricycles, low-speed electric four-wheeled vehicles (old scooters) to change the shape of the vehicle, affect the safety of driving and other illegal behavior, where there is an illegal device and the driver can not provide the original state of the vehicle when it leaves the factory, the public security traffic police department will be in accordance with Article 57 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", the driver will be fined 500 yuan.
04
Driving qualifications are required
At present, most of the electric tricycles and low-speed electric four-wheeled vehicles on the market belong to the category of motor vehicles; driving electric tricycles must hold a Class D driver's license, driving low-speed four-wheeled electric vehicles must hold a C3 or above driver's license, and those who do not have driving qualifications will move the vehicle to a designated place to park in accordance with Article 104 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, and shall be fined according to law, and may be detained for up to 15 days.
05
It is strictly forbidden to illegally operate and carry people
It is strictly forbidden to use "enclosed three- and four-wheeled manned electric vehicles" to illegally operate and carry people. This type of electric vehicle has poor safety performance and is very easy to cause casualties. In rural areas, there are many people who use tricycles to transport students to and from school, especially a car carrying many people, accidents can easily lead to the serious consequences of group deaths and injuries, such electric vehicles have no license plates, no insurance, once a traffic accident occurs, the driver will bear the responsibility for compensation, so it is difficult for the passengers to get economic compensation.
When you read this letter, I believe you have a lot of questions about electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. Maybe you will say: "I want to get a license, but your traffic police station won't give it to you?" Or maybe you will also say, "Didn't the merchant who sold the car say that this is a non-motor vehicle, and you don't need to get a license plate or a driver's license?"
But now we want to say to you:
"Sorry! by law
Your car cannot be driven on the road
You've broken the law!"
For your questions, let us answer them for you one by one:
Q1: What kind of vehicles do electric tricycles and four-wheelers belong to, and are they motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles?
Answer: At present, the electric tricycle and four-wheeled vehicle driving on the urban road, most of them are not produced in accordance with the national mandatory standards such as the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety" or the "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles", and the manufacturers or sales of these vehicles can not provide motor vehicles or electric bicycles production licenses and product certificates, they can only provide the "Special Equipment Manufacturing License". Except for agricultural vehicles, special motor vehicles that are only used in specific areas such as factories, tourist attractions, and amusement places.
Therefore, your electric tricycle and four-wheeler are neither motor vehicles nor non-motor vehicles, but a special special vehicle that can only be used in specific areas such as factories, tourist attractions, and amusement places.
Q2: Can electric tricycles and four-wheelers be driven on the road?
A: No, you cannot. Because according to Article 8 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the state implements a registration system for motor vehicles. Motor vehicles must be registered by the traffic management department of the public security organ before they can be driven on the road. The electric tricycles and four-wheelers commonly found on urban roads are not registered, so they are not allowed to drive on the road.
However, if your car is a regular new energy vehicle, and has been registered in accordance with the law, and has a special license plate for new energy vehicles, then your car can be driven on the road normally.
Q3: Why don't the public security traffic police license this type of car?
Answer: The "National Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement" is the basis for the traffic management department of the public security organ to handle the registration of vehicles. For the vehicles included in the scope of this announcement, the public security traffic police will be registered, otherwise they will not be registered.
At present, most of these vehicles on the market are not within the scope of the announcement (and it is impossible to be within the scope of this announcement, because they are special vehicles produced according to the license of special equipment), so the public security traffic police cannot handle the registration business for them.
Police
