At 7:30 in the morning, congestion has spread along the South Third Ring Road and Puhuangyu Road. The driver Lao Liu was sitting in the car waiting for the red light when suddenly turning right next to him, and a motorcycle rushed past, which scared Lao Liu to the point of being shocked.
"Slow down, hey!" He shouted and looked to the front right. This was a Beijing B license plate motorcycle with people. "I'm still pulling the child. Hey, isn't Beijing B (motorcycle) not allowed to enter the Fourth Ring Road?"
Since September, a series of investigations and punishments involving motorcycle violations have made the motorcycles reach the forefront of public opinion again. Why did "meat wrapped iron" become the leader in traffic violations? Our reporters investigated and found that motorcycles illegally on the road have become a common phenomenon, with nine motorcycles on average for every ten motorcycles.

At the morning rush hour on September 4, Old Liu waited for traffic lights under Liujiayao Bridge as usual. The long traffic allowed him to sit in the car with peace of mind, listening to the radio while waiting. The motorcycles that passed by him reminded him of his experience on the road, "Recently, there are more and more motorcycles on the road. Every time I drive here, I can see many motorcycles waiting for traffic lights."
Liujiayao Bridge connects the east-west South Third Ring Road and the north-south Puhuangyu Road. Since the end of 2010, the Puhuangyu Expressway was opened to traffic, and Liujiayao Bridge has become an important transportation node in the south of Beijing. Just after 7:30, the traffic volume here increased significantly.
Bridge south, not far from the Beijing-Shenzhen Seafood Market, there are many delivery motorcycles starting from the market and coming to the north; there are many primary schools in the Fangzhuang living area in the north of the Bridge. The Beijing-B motorcycle that Lao Liu encountered is the parents who send their children to school.

Most of these motorcycles are delivered and are used by individual transportation. Among them, there are basically no assembly containers for motorcycles with Beijing A license plates.
About every 10 motorcycles, about 1 is a Beijing A license plate, and the other 9 are a Beijing B license plate. However, according to regulations, motorcycles with Beijing B license plates are prohibited from entering the fourth ring road and cannot be carried by minors under the age of 12. In addition, the situation of motorcycles driving illegally without wearing helmets and occupying non-motorized vehicle lanes is also very common in the morning.

Motorcycle Lao Jia told reporters that in the motorcycle circle in Beijing, there are differences between "real motorcycle friends" and "fake motorcycle friends". "Really like motorcycles and treat motorcycles as a culture of 'motorcycle' are relatively more abiding by the rules. They wear neatly when going out and must wear helmets. Now, more and more 'motorcycle friends' are using it. When using a motorcycle, it does not drive according to the rules and regulations, especially the delivery motorcycle, which is fast and unruly. This type is generally called a 'fake motorcycle friend' in the circle."
reporter also saw a blue Beijing A license plate motorcycle in Liujiayao and sent the photo to Lao Jia. He said that the license plate of this car is likely to be unknown. "Blue Beijing A is a light motorcycle with a displacement of less than 50CC. In the photo, the car does not have a displacement of less than 50CC."

In contrast, another rider passing through the auxiliary road of Jianguomenwai Street was even more "don't do it again and again" - under the shelves, the tied black bag simply covered the entire license plate tightly.
"How could it be like this! Running a red light and not looking at people. "A pedestrian crossing the road along the zebra crossing was startled by the motorcycle passing by.
