Compared with cars, electric vehicles rely on their low price, small and flexible characteristics by ordinary people to love, has become the most important means of transportation in ordinary families. However, because China's early traffic laws were not strict in the field of electric vehicles, many electric vehicle owners have developed bad habits of not obeying traffic rules when going out. After noticing this problem, the relevant departments also began to rectify the field of electric vehicles, stipulating that electric vehicle owners also need to obtain a driver's license and give the car a license plate before they can get on the road.
With the gradual increase of the country's rectification of electric vehicles, many cities have begun to prohibit old scooters that do not meet the standards and some electric tricycles and low-speed electric vehicles on the road. It is true that the relevant departments implement strict restriction policies to ensure the safety and order of urban traffic, but for many elderly people, it becomes more difficult for them to go out. So, what kind of means of transportation can make it legal for the elderly to go on the road?
Mobility tools that can also be used by the elderly
1. Rickshaws
For the elderly, the bicycle is definitely one of the most familiar means of transportation, in the seventies the bicycle was called the three major pieces together with watches and sewing machines, and owning a bicycle is definitely a special thing. Although with the development of the times, the car has become the most important means of transportation for people, but when people do not need to move long distances, there are still many people who like to use shared bicycles on the side of the road for transportation.
Second, electric bicycles
Of course, as people gradually grow older, their physical strength is far less abundant than that of young people, so many elderly people will inevitably have waist pain and leg pain and physical weakness when using bicycles. Therefore, many elderly people will choose the new national standard electric bicycle as their own means of transportation, electric bicycle is defined as a non-motorized vehicle, so even without a driver's license can be legally driven on the road. As long as the license plate is in accordance with the relevant regulations after the purchase of electric bicycles, the elderly can use electric bicycles normally.
Third, electric mopeds
For some elderly people who pursue speed, it is clear that electric mopeds are more in line with their travel needs. Electric mopeds are faster and have better range than e-bikes and can be applied to relatively long travel plans. The only thing to note is that electric mopeds already belong to the category of motor vehicles, so drivers need to participate in the driver's license test and start an F driver's license to get on the road normally.
Fourth, micro electric vehicles
Compared with the above three models, micro-electric vehicles can provide a more comfortable driving environment for drivers due to the more car shell protection, so that the elderly can travel as usual even in rain and snow. With the hot sales of Wuling Hongguang Mini, there are more and more micro-electric vehicles on the market, and the elderly also have more choices. However, this micro-electric vehicle is still a kind of car after all, so the requirements for the driver are relatively high, and the driver needs to have at least a C2 driver's license to drive on the road, otherwise it will be punished by the traffic police for driving without a license.
summary:
China's road traffic safety law stipulates that car owners must have a driver's license when driving on the road, so the elderly must also pay attention to whether the choice is a motor vehicle when choosing a means of transportation. At present, the state has lifted the age limit for the driving license test for small cars and electric mopeds, and even the elderly over 70 years old can participate in the test.
