In Panyu, Guangdong, two men were fined by the traffic police for riding an unlicensed shared motorcycle, which sparked widespread social discussion.
The beginning and end of the event
On June 23, 2024, Guangdong Minsheng TV reported a high-profile traffic law enforcement incident on the spot. When two men were riding a shared motorcycle in Panyu, Guangdong, they were stopped by the traffic police and issued a ticket because the vehicle did not have a license plate. This behavior not only caused dissatisfaction among the parties, but even passers-by couldn't help but come forward to question the traffic police.
In the face of doubts, the traffic police on duty explained that according to relevant regulations, it is illegal for an unlicensed vehicle to be on the road and must be punished in accordance with the law. This answer only raises more questions: since you can't go on the road without a license, why can shared motorcycles operate legally? Is it reasonable for businesses to place it legally, but for the public to use it at legal risk?
Official response
Guangzhou's Panyu District Traffic Police Brigade responded on June 24. They reiterated that under the current regulations, it is indeed illegal for electric vehicles to be on the road without a license, and law enforcement officers must be punished in accordance with the regulations. This response seems to imply that the launch of bike-sharing may be legal, but users need to bear the corresponding legal risks.
On the same day, the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau also responded to the matter. They said that a special team has been set up to carry out relevant law enforcement and rectification work. This statement further confirms that the act of being fined for riding an unlicensed shared bicycle is legal and compliant under the current laws and regulations.
Netizen reaction
The incident sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Many netizens questioned the current policy:
"Why can shared bicycles be operated without a license? Who approved it? ＂
"It was supposed to be a normal transaction, but why did it become illegal? ＂
"Why can't the merchant bear the loss, but let the user bear it? ＂
Some netizens pointed out the doubts in the process of law enforcement:
"According to the past practice, shouldn't the illegal behavior be punished by both people and cars, and the car should be detained first? Why only fined people and did not detain the car this time? ＂
Think deeply
