Due to the characteristics of low driving difficulty, slow driving speed, high safety and stability performance, affordable price, Elderly scooter is favored by many elderly people and has become a common transportation tool for their daily travel, which has solved the travel problems of the elderly very well.
However, since the elderly scooters have not yet passed the announcement catalog of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and have never had a clear identity, strictly speaking, this type of car cannot be legally launched on the road, which has also had a great impact on the travel of the elderly.
The good news is that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Technical Conditions for Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles (Draft for Comments)" in June 2021, which put forward corresponding standards for the technical conditions of elderly scooters, and also clarified that this model is a micro low-speed pure electric passenger car. Although no clear document has been issued at present, it can be seen from the draft opinion that the time for the elderly scooters to become regular is not far away.
So, what should I do if the elderly scooter is on the street license, driver's license and lane after it becomes formal? Let’s learn about it with Xiao Lajiao~
1. Registration issues
As a micro electric vehicle, if you want to register a scooter in the elderly, you must meet the relevant requirements of the "Technical Conditions of Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles". In addition, as a motor vehicle, it must also be included in the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and Products" catalog.
In addition to meeting these conditions, the elderly scooter registration also requires a certificate of conformity, vehicle invoice, consistency certificate, purchase tax payment certificate, compulsory traffic insurance policy, ID card and other documents.
2. Driver's license problem
After the elderly scooter becomes a regular, holding a driver's license is definitely one of the necessary conditions for getting on the road. As for what kind of driver's license you need to hold, there are currently no clear regulations.
However, most cities have stipulated that the minimum required to hold a Class C driver's license for senior scooters to meet the conditions for on-roading; some cities have also made it clear that senior scooters need to hold a C2 driver's license. The test for a
C driver's license is relatively difficult, and it is relatively difficult for the elderly to take this type of driver's license. However, there is also good news. Now the age limit of C1 and C2 driver's licenses has been cancelled. Even elderly people over 70 can get a driver's license and can go on the road legally after passing the exam.
, and the C2 driver's license reduces the difficulty of the exam and simplifies the examination process. Subject 2 cancels the examination items for fixed-point parking and starting on the ramp, which to a certain extent increases the success rate of the elderly for obtaining the C2 driver's license.
3, lane problem
Many people don’t know whether the elderly scooters should take non-motor lanes or motor lanes. There are often some car owners who change lanes casually, affecting traffic order, or taking non-motor lanes, causing them to be blocked from passing through non-motor lanes.
According to the latest draft of the new national standard low-speed electric vehicle , it can be clearly seen that elderly scooters belong to the category of motor vehicles and must drive in motor vehicle lanes when on the road. If they travel non-motor vehicle lanes in violation of regulations, they will face corresponding penalties.
But it should be noted that although the elderly scooters have to walk on the motor vehicle lane, the vehicle is slower and less than 80km/h, so they cannot drive on elevated or highways.
Little Pepper Summary
As a favorite travel transportation tool for the elderly, it has always been the wish of many people for the elderly to be able to legally board the road. After the elderly scooters become regular, new road-based standards will be introduced, and car owners should remember to pay attention in time.
