In recent years, in communities and parks, we often encounter a small car, which is fast, has no steering wheel, no manual brake, is easy to use, and is loved by adults and children. Some businesses call it a toy, and some businesses call it a toy. Call it a car, it is a balance car.
However, when many users buy a self-balancing car and want to use it for commuting, they are punished and warned by the traffic police on the road: electric self-balancing cars do not have the right of way and cannot be used on the road, and can only be used on non-open roads in residential areas and parks. use on. This has also caused many users to complain – after all, salesmen often don’t mention it when they buy it.
In fact, not only self-balancing vehicles, but also electric skateboards and electric scooters are not allowed to drive on open roads. Some users often complain about such regulations. However, it is restricted to go on the road, which really brings a lot of inconvenience to my travel.
So why restrict the right of way for such vehicles? Through online collection, we have obtained the following reasons that most netizens agree with.
One is that the electric balance car does not have a physical braking system. It is very dangerous to control the braking only by the center of gravity of the human body. In an emergency on the road, you cannot brake immediately, which is extremely dangerous to the rider himself and other traffic participants. .
The second is that the electric balance bike itself does not have any safety measures. Once a traffic accident occurs, it is easy to cause injuries to the riders.
The third is that the driving speed of the electric balance car is not slow, and its handling and stability are far inferior to conventional vehicles. The top speed of common electric balance vehicles can reach 20 kilometers per hour, and the speed of some brands of electric balance vehicles is even faster.
Another factor is the user group of electric balance vehicles. Many merchants promote and sell this kind of sliding tools in the name of “toys”. Therefore, many teenagers and children are also users of self-balancing vehicles. Their awareness of road regulations and traffic safety is higher than that of adults. It is also thinner and the risk of traffic accidents is greater.
In addition, because there is no manual braking system, the braking distance of self-balancing vehicles is generally long during driving. Compared with relatively closed road environments such as parks and communities, open roads can be called “Dangers are everywhere”, and there are many emergencies. Even pedestrians on foot often need to “suddenly brake”, and self-balancing vehicles on the road will more easily lead to traffic accidents.
Even if the risk of traffic accidents is not mentioned, the road conditions on open roads are more complicated than those on closed roads. This complexity is not only reflected in the unevenness of the road surface, which is extremely easy to affect the balance of the self-balancing car, but also in the road. There are more sharp objects on it.
Just imagine, when using a self-balancing car to drive fast, the tire on one side of the self-balancing car suddenly blows out, and there are all kinds of motor vehicles on the rear side, sideways and in front. If you want to control the self-balancing car to stop stably, I believe it is really difficult. very high.
Based on these reasons, the prohibition of self-balancing vehicles on the road is not only to protect road traffic safety, but also to protect the personal safety of drivers and ensure that people can travel more safely.
