Ride well and share safely: 8 prohibited dangerous behaviors for students riding electric bikes

There are many unsafe factors in electric bicycles, especially the electric bicycles around the campus, which pose great risks to students’ safe travel.

Dangerous behaviors include excessive driving or illegal use of electric vehicles with unknown origins.

Electric bicycles do not meet relevant national standards and have significant safety hazards in terms of safety technical performance.

They are not allowed to be produced, sold, or driven on the road in accordance with the law; Electric bicycles of unknown origin not only pose safety hazards, but may also be stolen vehicles.

Dangerous behavior 2: Running a red light, running a red light in the opposite direction, or driving in the opposite direction is a high-risk traffic safety violation.

It is the “least anticipated accident” for other vehicles and pedestrians.

Once encountering a vehicle running a red light or driving in the opposite direction, other vehicles and pedestrians will be caught off guard and find it difficult to take effective avoidance measures.

This situation is most likely to lead to traffic accidents.

Dangerous behavior 3: Violation of regulations for carrying people and objects, especially when multiple people are in one vehicle.

According to regulations, adults riding electric bicycles can, while ensuring safety, carry a person under the age of 12 on urban roads that are allowed to pass, which has scientific basis.

Electric bicycles have poor stability.

When the vehicle is overloaded or carrying people, it will further reduce the stability of the vehicle and easily cause traffic accidents in emergency situations.

Remember the one helmet area! Dangerous behavior 4: illegally occupying the motor vehicle lane for driving.

When electric bicycles suddenly appear in the motor vehicle lane, most motor vehicle drivers will feel panicked.

If these electric bicycles mixed in the motor vehicle lane change lanes at will, it is very likely to cause motor vehicle drivers to be unable to take effective avoidance measures in a timely manner and cause traffic accidents.

When riding an electric bicycle, it is necessary to drive along the road.

In sections with designated non motorized lanes, the bicycle should be driven within the non motorized lane; If there is no designated non motorized lane, it is necessary to drive on the right side of the road (usually within 1.5 meters from the edge of the road).

Dangerous behavior 5: Minors under the age of 16 who drive electric bicycles on the road have poor emergency response ability, generally weak safety awareness, low proficiency in operating electric bicycles, and the speed of electric bicycles is much faster than that of bicycles.

If encountering emergency situations, there will be dangers that cannot be dealt with, posing great safety hazards.

According to Article 72 (2) of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, driving an electric bicycle on the road must be at least 16 years old
