In April 2023, Zhao Xin, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau, made it clear that he would impose restrictions on elderly scooters: from January 1, 2024, illegal electric three- and four-wheelers are not allowed to drive on the road, and are not allowed to park on roads, squares, Parking in public places such as playgrounds. Anyone who drives or parks on the road in violation of regulations will be investigated and dealt with by law enforcement agencies according to law.
Therefore, it is true that elderly scooters will be prohibited from being on the road in 2024, but this is only a regional policy in Beijing, and other regions in the country need to follow local policies and regulations. Many people may be puzzled. Old Tou Le can be seen in the streets and alleys of many cities now. Why is it suddenly banned? In fact, the main reasons for banning Old Man Music are as follows:
1. Big potential safety hazard
The so-called Old Man Le refers to old scooters. Most of these cars are shoddy. Although they look similar to cars, their quality and safety performance are far from meeting the requirements. In order to save costs, some small workshops may even cut corners on key accessories such as chassis, battery packs, and brakes. Most Old Tou Le will not be equipped with safety features.
According to the understanding of Wudi Electric Network, in the whole year of 2022 alone, a total of 131 traffic accidents involving illegal electric three- and four-wheel vehicles occurred in Beijing, killing more than 100 people. In recent years, friends who have paid attention to Old Tou Le will also find that there are countless spontaneous combustion accidents in old scooters, and this type of vehicle has great safety hazards.
2. Block traffic
At present, the maximum driving speed of most old scooters on the market is only about 50km/h. If the battery power is low, the speed will only be slower. However, mo

2. Block traffic
At present, the maximum driving speed of most old scooters on the market is only about 50km/h. If the battery power is low, the speed will only be slower. However, most Old Man Le car owners prefer to drive their cars on the motorway, which causes the vehicles on the entire road to slow down, and it is easy to cause traffic jams on roads with heavy traffic.
3. Irregular driving
People who drive elderly scooters basically do not have a driver's license. Such users not only have a weak sense of safety, but also do not understand traffic rules. He regarded the road as his own yard, but the traffic police were helpless in the face of such violations. After all, the old man did not have a license plate, and it was not easy to find the owner of the car after a hit-and-run.
4. Unable to buy insurance
Because elderly scooters cannot be insured, once a responsible traffic accident occurs, the owner of the old car will not be able to use the insurance to settle the claim, and all losses of both parties in the accident need to be borne by the owner of the old car. If the car owner is unable to compensate the victim and has no property to enforce, the victim will spend a lot of time and energy collecting debts.
5. Occupying a parking space
Elderly scooters themselves do not belong to the category of motor vehicles, but they often occupy the parking spaces of cars, especially in areas with a high occupancy of Old Tou Le, where at least half of the 10 parking spaces on a road are taken by Old Tou Le. Originally, I saw that this parking space was empty from a long distance, but when I drove into the parking space, I found that there was an old man inside. I believe that most drivers and friends have a deep understanding of this kind of speechless feeling.
The above are the main shortcomings of the old-age scooters. Although the old-age scooters can provide great travel convenience for the elderly, whether it is shopping for food or picking up and dropping off children, it is more convenient, but the vehicle itself has serious safety hazards. Therefore, it is forbidden for the elderly The use of scooter on the road is bound to become the general trend.
If you just want to buy a small car for daily transportation, then Invincible Electric Network recommends you to buy Wuling Hongguang MINI, Chery QQ Ice Cream, Geely Panda MINI and other models, although these cars are more expensive than Laotou Le (30,000-40,000 yuan) Start off), but the advantage lies in using it with peace of mind. Compared with the safety of yourself and others, what is the extra money worth?
