In recent years, there have been a series of "old man's music" accidents, but there are no effective control measures.
Some old people even drove the old man to "gallop" on the highway in the wrong direction, without taking their lives into account.
The reporter also immediately conducted an interview and asked if he thought this kind of behavior was very dangerous.
Unexpectedly, the uncle said: "I have lived enough, and it is good that my life can contribute to the family." ”
In the face of this kind of social chaos, how should we rectify it? Can the listing of Wuling Zero Egg change this situation?
The old man is in chaos
The travel of the elderly has always been a big problem, and "old man music" came into being in such an environment.
At the same time that you don't need a driver's license, you can run with electricity, pick up grandchildren with babies, and have nothing to do to solicit customers, which is simply the gospel of the old people in their later years, and is known as the second pair of legs, but its problems have to be taken seriously.
Due to age, the body has deteriorated, and sometimes the brain tries to avoid danger even if it wants to avoid it, but the body cannot react.
So on the road, I often see some uncles and aunts with good "driving skills".
They went on a rampage, not paying attention to the traffic rules at all, everywhere was their parking spot, and the dotted line of sight on the ground was just a decoration in their eyes.
Sometimes the driver of the sedan wants to overtake, but just after half of the "old man's music" rushes in the direction, and the traffic accident happens.
At this time, the uncles and aunts also said aggrievedly: "Your big car suddenly appeared next to me, I have to hide quickly." ”
And when encountering those unreasonable uncles and aunts, lie down directly on the ground, without speaking, it is clear who is the "victim", and the car driver can only admit it in the face of this situation.
The traffic police also have a headache for this, because there is no driver's license, there is no vehicle information, even if you want to control it, you can't start, and some small counties are accessible in all directions, and you want to stop the "old man" for criticism and education, and disappear in the alley in a blink of an eye, and you can't chase it.
On November 20, 2023, in Xinye County, Nanyang, Henan Province, a 22-year-old female teacher who had just worked for a year was hit by an "Old Man Le" on the way to buy vegetables.
After the crash, the "old man" not only did not stop, but also dragged the female teacher for several meters, and finally the girder under the car pressed over the female teacher's head, causing death.
According to the investigation after the incident, the old man who caused the accident was 75 years old, and he was in poor health and had a cerebral hemorrhage.
The lawyer said that although the old man is over 75 years old, he still has to bear legal responsibility, but he will be punished lightly within the scope of sentencing.
To put it mildly, although life is priceless, one is a gardener who has just stepped out of society at the age of 22 to cultivate the flowers of the motherland, and the other is an old man who is dying.
According to public data, from January 1, 2024, illegal electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles will be completely banned. Not just individual regions, but universal policies across the country.
As early as 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a statistic that there were 830,000 low-speed electric vehicle traffic accidents in five years, resulting in 18,000 deaths and 186,000 injuries. Behind these numbers, there are all fresh lives.
Then some people proposed: since the state wants to ban "old man music", why not solve the root cause and let those enterprises that produce "old man music" produce, this is not a follow-up supplement, after driving on the road, you can only drive one less car.
But does this really solve the problem at the root cause?
Some netizens said in the comment area: The shortcomings of "Old Man Le" are not the car itself, but the driver.
They have no formal training and a weak awareness of traffic laws, resulting in a large number of traffic accidents.
If it is legal and compliant, stop at a red light and go at a green light, drive correctly within the markings, and use the light signal correctly.
At the same time, driving schools and traffic police and other relevant departments should also conduct detailed training for "old man music".
You must know that there are 160 million elderly people in the country, and they also have travel requirements.
In addition, Laotoule is not only an enterprise, but a huge industrial chain.
Taking Shandong, Jiangsu, and Henan provinces as examples, these three provinces account for about 80% of China's Laotoule sales, with 2 million units sold.
There are more than 300 production enterprises and supporting enterprises, and the number of direct and indirect jobs has reached 30-400,000, and a production chain of 10 billion yuan has been formed.
Wuling zero eggs
The tenet of Wuling car manufacturing is "what the people need, Wuling will make something", such a concept is well received by the general public!
From the very beginning of the Wuling MINI, the initial price of 29,800 has brought good news to many people who can't afford a car but need to travel.
With a range of 150 kilometers, it is not only convenient to pick up and drop off children, but also very convenient for grocery shopping, and the small body is very friendly to users who are difficult to park and reverse.
However, recently Wuling has launched another model - Wuling Zero Egg, without looking at the parameters, the starting price of 12,000 is attractive.
You must know that a car is not a home appliance, you can change it casually, the price of 12,000, some people complain that it is not as expensive as the refrigerator at home, and the quality is not reliable.
First of all, from the price point of view, the current low-end old man music is basically about 20,000 yuan, and some brands with strong influence can reach 40,000 yuan.
And judging from the appearance, although everyone's standards are different, Wuling is still online in terms of aesthetics.
The most important thing is safety, Wuling, as a veteran car company, will produce products in accordance with international production.
For example, Wuling MINI and Old Man Le have done such an experiment, in an enclosed field, two cars at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, a head-on collision.
The old man Le as a whole can no longer see the structure of the vehicle, the whole car is twisted together like a twist, on the other hand, Wuling did not cause much damage, and the dummy on the car was only slightly injured.
When the news of Wuling Zero Egg was announced, some netizens said: "If it can run 100-150 kilometers and can be charged at home, the price is 12,000, then I can't believe it, not to mention the nemesis of the old man, it is likely to become a stumbling block for oil trucks in the future." ”
Of course, it is better to spend money, and buying a luxury car at a higher price can not only go up a notch in terms of appearance but also experience.
But generally speaking, there are still ordinary people, and the chaos of the old man's music has to appear, no matter what will replace the old man's music in the future, it is still people who can finally decide the safety.
