Why can’t tricycles carry people illegally?

Be aware of the following hazards!

Hazards 1

Motorized tricycles have poor safety performance

The safety performance of vehicle steering, braking and other safety components of motorized tricycles is generally poor. When illegally carrying people or loading goods, due to reasons such as increased weight and increased center of gravity , once an emergency occurs, the vehicle is difficult to control, and a vicious accident may occur, resulting in vehicle crash and death.

Hazard 2

Disturbing normal order and easily causing accidents

When motorized tricycles are driving, because they are faster than ordinary bicycles and pedestrians, they have a high chance of overtaking and are prone to scratching accidents; they do not drive in the prescribed lanes and park randomly on the road. Various traffic violations such as parking, changing lanes at will, making U-turns, and running red lights have increased significantly.

Hazard Three

Drivers have weak safety awareness

① Most drivers have not received formal training in driving skills and traffic safety knowledge, and their traffic safety awareness is relatively weak. Especially when hauling passengers, they cannot clearly judge possible dangers on the road and are unable to take necessary measures to avoid accidents.

② It is not uncommon for drivers to fail to comply with road safety laws and regulations, such as making U-turns at will, driving in the opposite direction, and running red lights. These violations interfere with or block the normal passage of motor vehicles, thereby causing traffic jams and even causing traffic accidents.

Hazard Four

It is difficult to bear the liability for accident compensation.

Most motorized tricycles are not insured. Once an accident occurs, it is difficult for the owner of the motorized tricycle to bear the liability for traffic accident compensation, and the passengers cannot get the compensation they deserve. If something "happens" on a tricycle, most of the passengers will most likely be "dumb and eating coptis".

traffic police reminder: three-wheeled motorcycles are designed and manufactured mainly to meet the needs of agricultural production, cargo transportation, etc. They do not have passenger seating positions and safety protection facilities. Therefore, they are not qualified to carry passengers and cannot carry people. .Illegal passenger transport has great safety risks. Once it collides with other vehicles or rolls over, it can easily lead to death and injury.
