It can be seen that in the past two years, our country's economic development has been very rapid, and the living conditions of the people have become better and better.
They have begun to buy cars and electric vehicles as their daily means of transportation.
Of course, there are also some people who are not inclined to choose those ordinary cars or electric cars when buying a car, but are willing to buy old man music.
However, these car owners do not seem to obey the traffic rules, driving in the wrong direction, grabbing the road, and running red lights.
The old man is obviously so dangerous, why would anyone still drive it on the road?
1. Dangerous old man music
The so-called old man's music is a transportation tool specially designed for the elderly.
This kind of vehicle generally does not need to be refueled, is driven by pure electricity, has relatively stable performance, and is slower.
Moreover, when the manufacturer designs, the original two-wheeled electric bicycle configuration is also applied, so the handling performance of the vehicle is also very simple, suitable for those elderly people.
Some old people don't even need to use the steering wheel or accelerator, but rely on individually configured motors and controllers to operate, which does bring some convenience to those elderly.
At present, the common old man's music is also divided into two types: three-wheeled electric vehicles and four-wheeled electric vehicles, but no matter what type of old man's electric vehicles are not in the category of so-called motor vehicles.
Therefore, these vehicles do not need to be licensed on the road, and the relevant drivers do not need to obtain the corresponding driver's license.
On the whole, this convenience is indeed very prominent, but at the same time, it will also bring some traffic risk problems.
Since there is no need for a licensed driver or a driver's license, many people believe that these vehicles do not need to comply with the corresponding traffic regulations.
Therefore, some elderly people are not familiar with traffic management regulations and drive the old man on the road, which will lead to many risks.
There are some elderly people who may drive the old man to run a red light, or even go against the road to grab a motor vehicle, which is actually a very dangerous behavior.
It can be seen that in the past two years, the number of traffic accidents caused by the old man's failure to obey traffic rules has also increased.
From this point of view, the old scooter is no longer able to provide convenience and safety for the elderly, but has become one of the inducing factors for many traffic accidents.
In addition, even without causing traffic accidents, the reckless driving and non-observance of traffic rules caused traffic congestion that was difficult to alleviate.
Especially during the morning and evening rush hours, there are many normal cars that are legal and compliant and will be congested on the road because of the irregular driving of the old man.
This has severely affected the commuting needs of the drivers involved, and has also increased the traffic pressure throughout the city.
Immediately, the old man's driving on the road was also controversial.
In fact, the traffic congestion and traffic pressure caused by the old man's music are still tolerable, but the related risk factors have to trigger the thinking of the traffic management department.
After all, these elderly people who drive old men do not have a corresponding driver's license, and their irregular driving is not only irresponsible for their own lives, but also threatens the property and life safety of others.
2. Why do people still drive it on the road?
The traffic problems and related safety risks caused by the old man are indeed worthy of our attention, but why are so many people willing to drive the old man on the road?
The reasons behind this are naturally very diverse, first of all, on the one hand, because the old man's model does have some unique advantages, and the applicability is indeed very strong.
Even some narrow sections of the road that ordinary cars can't drive can also pass smoothly, which also provides great convenience for car owners.
Moreover, judging from the current traffic situation in major cities, traffic congestion often occurs, but the old man is relatively flexible due to its narrow body.
Even in congested traffic conditions, the old men seem to be able to shuttle flexibly without being restricted by traffic jams.
The second aspect is naturally the price factor, the old man itself is launched to meet the transportation needs of some elderly people.
Its performance is much inferior to that of ordinary sedans, and the space of the car is relatively small.
The production cost of such a vehicle is naturally much lower than that of ordinary cars.
In order to better promote market sales, many companies continue to reduce the relevant market prices.
Judging from the current situation, the price of an old man's music is only about 20,000 yuan, and the price of some companies' products may be even lower.
Compared with buying those ordinary cars or large SUVs, the old man is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice.
For some elderly people or some car owners who are not financially well-off, they may choose such vehicles.
The third factor is the sense of trend, due to its cost-effective factor, in fact, the old man has also produced a certain "Internet celebrity effect" among young people.
There are many young people who no longer regard those cars with excellent performance and cool shape as their first consideration when buying a car, but prefer to be old men.
They believe that driving these old men on the street is more in line with the current trend orientation and fashion symbol, highlighting their unique personality and car buying taste.
Therefore, it is not only the elderly who like to buy old man music, drive the corresponding vehicle to go out, and meet their travel needs.
Even those young people are showing a hot demand for this product and are inclined to buy it.
Combining these three factors, the old man's music has become more and more popular.
3. About the management of the old man's music
Due to the corresponding risk factors, in fact, many cities have advocated banning old men from driving on the road, or formalizing their management.
However, in terms of the actual situation, it is also very difficult to realize the formal management of these old scooters.
After all, the manufacturing specifications and corresponding performance standards of these old-age scooters are very different.
How to define the standards and the rules for driving on the road are all questions.
Even if it were possible to find a uniform standard for these vehicles to be licensed, for seniors to comply with traffic rules, and to obtain the appropriate driver's license, it may not be realistic.
In June 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China solicited public opinions on the new version of the "International Technical Conditions for Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles".
Naturally, the draft also summarized the so-called types of old-age scooters, but the discussion on this model did not yield any constructive results.
From this point of view, there are many difficulties in the standardized management of the old man's music.
In order to solve the corresponding risk factors brought by this model, it seems that the only way to alleviate the traffic pressure is to ban it.
On January 1, 2024, the relevant transportation vehicles such as Lao Toule have been completely banned in Beijing, the mainland, and no related models are allowed to drive on the road.
This regulation has naturally gained the people, and many people must have applauded, thinking that driving in the future will finally no longer be bothered by the old man's music.
Of course, after the Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Department of mainland China put forward corresponding policies, other cities did not follow up comprehensively.
This is also because many people do not support a total ban on the elderly, because the vehicle itself is aimed at the elderly to get around.
You must know that many elderly people have corresponding travel needs, but their legs and feet remain the same, and their physical functions cannot be satisfied.
If they are forbidden to drive the old man on the road, it may affect their daily travel problems.
Therefore, a complete ban on the elderly is also a disregard for the actual needs of the elderly, so some people in the society do not agree with such a one-size-fits-all policy.
So how should the old man be managed?
In order to balance the corresponding social controversy and alleviate the corresponding risk factors, it is actually very difficult to formalize the management of the old man.
First of all, on the one hand, it is natural to license these vehicles, even if the relevant drivers do not need to obtain a driver's license.
It is also necessary to establish an information identification system for the corresponding vehicles and manage them separately from motor vehicles.
Such a measure is very important, on the one hand, it can better limit the irregular behavior of those elderly people who drive.
On the other hand, there is a corresponding traffic accident, and the traffic police can also better identify and trace the relevant personnel.
This is of course very important, as for the second aspect, it is necessary to implement the corresponding traffic management regulations for the old man and propose a new mechanism for traffic management.
These mechanisms naturally take into account the busyness of urban road traffic and the corresponding traffic pressure, and put forward corresponding road driving restrictions for old scooters like Lao Toule.
There are some roads with heavier traffic and more large vehicles that no longer allow the old man to drive on the road.
Only those sections of the road where the traffic pressure is relatively low can allow these old men to drive happily on the road.
In this way, many risk factors can undoubtedly be avoided, and the traffic pressure of the old man Le furniture can also be avoided.
In addition, it is also necessary to propose a corresponding mechanism for time-based restrictions, and it is absolutely forbidden for old men to drive on urban roads during the morning and evening rush hours.
Such vehicles are also prohibited from being on the road during heavy traffic hours on holidays.
brief summary
The emergence of the old man does provide great convenience for the elderly to travel, but it also brings some risk factors to the traffic safety of mainland cities.
This is mainly due to the irregular driving behavior of the relevant car owners.
In view of this situation, the traffic management department should also put forward a new management model and traffic management mechanism for the old man.
In this way, the frequency of traffic accidents caused by the old man's music can be reduced, and the smooth and safe driving of the road can be ensured.
Of course, the traffic management department should also formulate corresponding penalty provisions for this, and increase the corresponding punishment, only with the help of this auxiliary role, the relevant road traffic safety mechanism can be implemented smoothly.
