Tianjin Traffic Management responded to the
Traffic Management Department stated that according to the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", pedestrians are not allowed to use skateboards, roller skates and other sliding tools on the road, electric scooters and balance bikes are not allowed to use on the road. Those who drive illegally on the road will be fined less than 450 yuan and other penalties.
At 11 noon on October 9, a police officer from the Guizhou Road Brigade of the Traffic Police Peace Detachment stopped a citizen riding an electric balance bike along Yunnan Road in accordance with the law during the patrol. After getting off the bus, Mr. Zhao, a citizen, said that his home was only a few kilometers away from his unit, and sometimes he chose a balance bike to and from the middle of the day, which saved time and was also considered exercise. However, regarding whether this kind of car can be driven on the road, Mr. Zhao said: "It should be possible. There are fewer cars and fewer people on this section of the road, and it is a one-way road."
Finally, the police educated his traffic violations and explained in detail the relevant regulations on electric balance bikes in the road traffic safety laws and regulations, and asked Mr. Zhao to get off the car and walk or ride a shared bicycle to leave.
electric scooter , and balance bike
, why can't it be on the road?
On weekdays, we often see individual citizens riding electric balance bikes and scooters on the road. The investigation found that among them were both morning exercise citizens who used their exercises, and office workers who traveled the last kilometer often occupied non-motorized vehicle lanes, but also occurred frequently on secondary roads and branch roads.
Traffic Management Department stated that electric scooters and balance bikes, like roller skates, are sliding tools, and are a sports and leisure tool . According to regulations, driving on the road is not allowed.
For electric scooters and balance bikes driving on the road in violation of regulations, the traffic management department will impose warnings, fines and other penalties on cyclists in accordance with the relevant provisions in road traffic safety laws and regulations. At the same time, the traffic management department also reminds that since these models are traffic violations on the road, if a road traffic accident occurs in , cyclists may be required to bear the corresponding accident responsibility.
In August 2015, the Beijing Daily reported an electric scooter accident ruled by the Dongcheng District Court of Beijing. It was finally determined that the party used a scooter to drive on the road, which violated Article 74 of the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": "Pedestrians shall not engage in the following behaviors: (1) The use of skateboards, roller skates and other sliding tools on the road" is the secondary cause of the accident.
Three crimes of electric balance bikes:
has no " road rights ", low safety factor, and difficult to determine the responsibility for accidents
First of all, my country's "Road Traffic Safety Law" clearly states that whether it is a motor vehicle or a non-motor vehicle, it should comply with relevant national standards. can only drive on the road after being registered by the traffic management department of the public security organ.
, including two-wheeled balance bikes, unicycle somatosensory bikes and electric scooters, are new favorites for transportation. does not meet my country's motor vehicle safety standards, nor is it in the product catalog of several categories of non-motor vehicles. According to the provisions of the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", balance bikes are similar to skateboards, roller skates, etc., and pedestrians are not allowed to use such sliding tools on the road. In other words, electric balance bike tools do not have the minimum "right to go" .
Secondly, electric balance bike transportation tool, , has many hidden dangers on the road .
For example, when electric scooters are sliding, people put their feet on the pedals, and they are very likely to overturn when encountering rugged roads or dodge turns.It is even more difficult to operate a balance bike. There is no accelerator, brake, and steering wheel. Drive and braking must be controlled by the balance between the center of gravity of the person and the car. According to relevant tests, at a speed of 18 km/h, once an emergency occurs, the reaction time of the electric skateboard driver's finger brake is 3 seconds, and the reaction time of the balance bike relying on the body to tilt backward to brake for up to 8 seconds.
In addition, in my country's traffic regulations, the responsible parties are only: pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, and motor vehicles, but electric scooters do not belong to the above three types of .
The cool experience of "floating" across the streets and alleys is like "pedaling the hot wheels", which not only increases the travel risks of yourself and people and vehicles driving on the same road, but also makes it difficult for the traffic police department to hold the traffic police to hold the traffic police accountable and the damaged party will find it difficult for the illegal phenomenon of seized motor vehicle lanes, changing lanes at will, turning around, running red lights during driving, as well as traffic accidents caused by this, and it will be difficult for the traffic police department to hold the injured party accountable.
Special governance in many places across the country
Ban electric balance vehicles from on the road
As early as 2016, the police in Shanghai carried out centralized rectification of illegal driving of electric balance vehicles and other illegal driving on the road. The traffic police from Huangpu Branch of Shanghai Public Security Bureau said: Whether it is a balance bike or an electric scooter, it actually does not belong to a motor vehicle or a non-motor vehicle, but is a scooter tool. It is explicitly stipulated that the sliding tool cannot be driven on the road and can only be used in closed communities or places that are not publicly available.
Beijing City Traffic Management Department has also carried out centralized rectification of this type of vehicle. Beijing traffic police believe that "the fastest speed of a single-wheeled electric balance bike can reach 30 kilometers per hour, but there is no brake. If you drive in the motor vehicle lane, it is very easy to collide with the motor vehicle, which will cause serious damage to the cyclist. There are also some two-wheeled electric balance bikes that can even reach 60 kilometers per hour, which is similar to that of a motor vehicle, but the brake design is far less than that of a motor vehicle standard. If you hit a pedestrian, it is very dangerous."
Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department Traffic Police Corps has issued a notice to the traffic police departments across the province that the driving, braking, steering and other technical performance of electric scooters does not meet the national standards for motor vehicles. Driving on the road will not only disrupt the road traffic order, affect road traffic safety, and easily induce traffic accidents, but will not be protected by laws and regulations after an accident. It is emphasized that driving an electric scooter on the road is an illegal act, and the traffic police must resolutely ban it in accordance with the law.
Wuhan Traffic police department has previously stated that electric balance vehicles do not fall into the scope of "motor vehicles" or "non-motor vehicles", and similar scooter tools cannot purchase vehicle insurance, third-party liability insurance, etc., and they can only bear the losses caused by traffic accidents.
Except for the above provinces, cities and regions, according to public reports, traffic police departments in many places such as Chengdu, Guilin, Shenyang, Jiujiang, Quanzhou have reminded the public that "traffic artifacts" such as electric balance bikes and electric scooters are illegal to drive on the road, and many cities will clearly impose penalties.
