**Recently, it was reported that a tragedy in Nanyang, Henan Province, once again pushed the "old man's music" to the forefront. A 22-year-old female teacher was hit by an illegal electric tricycle on the way to buy groceries, and died after rescue efforts failed. The perpetrator was an elderly man in his 70s who was found to have violated three traffic rules and was fully responsible for the accident. However, a month has passed, and the perpetrators and their families have neither apologized nor negotiated compensation with the families of the deceased.
This incident not only reveals the potential safety hazards brought by "Old Man Le", but also reflects the urgency of rectifying such violations. According to Jimu News, many cities in China have issued policies to prohibit or restrict illegal electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles on the road. Among them, Beijing's initiative is the most representative, from January 1, 2024, Beijing will completely ban "old man music" on the road.
Why do you want to rectify the "old man's music"?Data shows that last year alone, 138 people were killed in the "old man's music" accident in Beijing. In addition, in the process of use, there are problems such as excessive voltage and excessive power, which are easy to cause fire. The relevant departments are also facing many difficulties in the management of illegal three-wheeled and four-wheeled electric vehicles and their drivers.
In this accident, the indifferent attitude of the perpetrators makes one wonder: what makes them so unscrupulous?The simple answer is a disregard for laws and regulations. China's criminal law clearly stipulates that anyone who violates traffic and transportation management regulations and causes a major accident shall bear criminal responsibility. Even people over the age of 75 cannot escape the law.
This incident is not only a warning to the "old man", but also a reminder to every road traffic participant: road safety cannot be ignored. The travel needs of the elderly are certainly worth paying attention to, but this does not mean that the "old man" can be allowed to go on the road. The lesson of blood has proved that it is not a reasonable plan to let the "old man" go on the road.
In the process of rectifying the "old man's music," all localities should formulate appropriate policies according to the actual situation. A certain buffer period can be given to the owners of "old man music", but in the long run, it is a social governance goal that must be completed sooner or later to let dangerous illegal three-wheeled and four-wheeled electric vehicles withdraw from urban roads.
Road safety is related to everyone's life safety, and we can't let the "old man" be "happy" anymore. Let's look forward to a safer and more orderly traffic environment.
