Old people can’t be happy everywhere.

Recently, many friends spit out that the most wild ones on the road are not necessarily heavy motorcycles, but may also be the "old man’s music" running around. This kind of scooter is cheap and does not need to be licensed, which is very popular among the elderly. It’s very convenient to take a walk, buy food and pick up the children. However, "Old Man Le" is also prone to accidents. In 2022, there were 131 traffic accidents involving illegal electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles in Beijing alone, with more than 100 deaths.
Do you support a total ban on old people’s music?
Most of the "Laotoule" products are produced without permission, which do not meet the technical standards for motor vehicle safety, have poor stability, are prone to drift and tilt, and have no guarantee for safety.

In this regard, many places have introduced measures to rectify the "old man music" running all over the street. For example, Beijing will start the law enforcement management of illegal vehicles from January 1, 2024, and illegal vehicles will not be allowed to drive on the road or park in public places such as roads, squares and parking lots.

Remediation is necessary, but it can’t be banned. Behind the prevalence of "old man music" is the huge travel demand of the majority of elderly people. In addition to the relevant prohibition regulations that have been issued, the relevant departments should learn more about the travel needs of the elderly groups and carry out more targeted guidance. A good policy must be a comprehensive policy, which should not only block but also sparse, and reasonably guide the release of demand. For electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles that are difficult to supervise, it is also necessary for relevant departments to promptly introduce relevant production and quality inspection standards, end the barbaric production of some enterprises, and remove hidden dangers from the source.
