"Laotoule", which has no license plate and does not require a driver's license, is becoming more and more popular, and it has become a new killer on the road."The new energy Maserati only costs RMB 26,000," "the five-door, five-seater 'Big G Off-Road' costs just over RMB 30,000," "the Cayenne, which can be used as both gasoline and electricity without a driver's license."... Low-speed four-wheel electric vehicles (commonly known as "Laotou Le") that used to meet the transportation needs of middle-aged and elderly people began to bundle the "luxury car-like appearance" with the "low-price" label, and quickly occupied rural towns, urban suburbs and other sinking markets.

According to domestic media reports, these old cars "look like small cars from a distance, but have no license plates when viewed up close." Most of the drivers are middle-aged and elderly people. Since they do not have a license plate, illegal behaviors such as running red lights, driving in the wrong direction, and crossing the road are relatively common, and some people have become accustomed to this. "There are still many vehicles driving around primary schools to pick up and drop off students, which must pose a major safety hazard."

According to experts in the low-speed electric vehicle industry, in order to pursue low prices and sales, some low-speed electric vehicle manufacturers are currently pursuing their own standards and appearance in terms of product standards and shapes. "The vehicle size is getting closer to that of a car, and the appearance is more and more like a car." In some places, low-speed vehicle industrial parks characterized by shoddy manufacturing have even formed. "Of course, if such a product goes on the road, it will easily become a road killer."

Why can such vehicles be produced normally and in compliance with regulations? Zhang Ge, a lawyer at Beijing Yingke (Chengdu) Law Firm, said that this is because when manufacturers are manufacturing, they declare not compliant passenger cars, but factory scooters.

This kind of car can only be driven in closed areas such as scenic spots, parks, and factories, and cannot be driven on public roads. It is also illegal for manufacturers to advertise that they can go directly on the road without having to register a license plate, driver's license or insurance.

"Laotou Le" is neither a motor vehicle in the traditional sense nor does it fully meet the standards of non-motor vehicles. The confusion in the definition of identity has caused relevant departments to face many difficulties in the supervision process.

Once a traffic accident occurs involving "Laotou Le", due to the unclear nature of the vehicle and imperfect insurance system, accident handling and dispute resolution will obviously be more complicated.

Many experts in the industry said that behind "Old Man Music" is the contradiction between demand and governance, and it should not be "banned". This type of vehicle has widespread demand in the sinking market and has become the main means of transportation for middle-aged and elderly people in some rural areas. It is relatively cheap, easy to drive, can protect against wind and rain, and effectively meets the travel needs of some people.

In addition, relevant departments should also strengthen publicity and education among drivers, especially the elderly, to popularize traffic safety awareness and awareness of rules. We should also optimize the slow-moving transportation system, explore diversified solutions to meet the short-distance travel needs of groups such as the elderly, and fundamentally reduce reliance on illegal "Old Happy".
