Countdown to the violation of the "old scooter"

　　Some merchants use the "new national standard" and "playing cards" to fool people.

　　Electric tricycle is often called "old scooter". Recently, the news that the illegal "old scooter" will not be allowed to drive on the road or park in public places next year has attracted special attention. This incident originated from the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Illegal Electric Three-and Four-Wheelers jointly issued by various departments in 2021, which stipulated that a three-year transition period should be set for illegal electric three-and four-wheelers purchased before the promulgation of the Notice. On January 1, 2024, after the expiration of the transition period, law enforcement departments will strictly investigate and deal with relevant vehicles that violate the rules.

　　The illegal "old scooter" is forbidden to stop and enter the countdown. What changes have taken place in the market? The reporter’s unannounced visit found that the sales of electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles have been very hot recently. Take the fully encapsulated new car as an example, the price generally exceeds 10,000 yuan, and the "agency fee" of about 2,000 yuan will be added to buy a new car. The reason why these cars are expensive is that they are all "new national standard" cars, which are legal vehicles and will not be checked on the road. In this regard, some citizens are very confused. In the 12345 hotline, the number of inquiries about the purchase of electric tricycles and driving on the road has also surged recently. Can an electric tricycle be bought now? Are all the "new GB" cars really legal vehicles? On the issues of public concern, the reporter asked the traffic control department for verification.

　　On Xinhua South Road in Tongzhou District, various types of electric tricycles are for sale by the roadside.

　　There are many electric tricycles parked on Xincheng South Street in Tongzhou District, and most of them have already hung the "Jing B" number plate.

　　find

　　More and more old people use the "Jing B" number plate.

　　On the afternoon of April 11th, the reporter passed by the road around wanda plaza, Tongzhou District, just in time for the children to leave school. All kinds of electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles kept passing by, and many vehicles were very similar in appearance to motor vehicles, with notes such as "for personal use" and "picking up children" posted on the windows. Through the window, it is not difficult to find that the drivers of vehicles are mainly elderly people. The reporter also found that the location of these vehicles’ hanging number plates has changed from the factory billboards or auspicious figures in the past to the "Jing B" number plate of motorcycles today.

　　In front of a primary school, while parents were waiting for their children to leave school, the reporter interviewed a number of electric tricycle owners. Tian Laobo’s car is hung with the "Jing B" number plate. This car was recently bought by him, and it cost 16,000 yuan, and another 1,500 yuan was spent on the card. "Very expensive!" The old man frowned as he spoke. He said that in order to pick up and drop off the children, it is a once-and-for-all way to spend more money on a car that the traffic police don’t check.

　　The reporter asked how to "once and for all"? The old man explained that when buying a car, the merchant told him that the traffic control department strictly investigated the "old scooter", so that kind of car could not be sold or on the road. Now the store is not selling the old scooter, but a three-wheeled motorcycle. Whether it is charged or burned with oil, it is a motorcycle. If you buy this car, the traffic police will not check it again. "Said this car is normal, in a directory, belong to ‘ New national standard ’ , not affected by the three-year transition period, just run. "

　　Under the guidance of many parents, the reporter came to Xinhua South Road nearby, and there are many electric car shops on the west side of the road. The electric tricycles to be sold occupy the sidewalk in front of the store, which is dazzling. Many customers who are ready to buy a car are listening to the merchants’ "interpretation" of the laws and regulations on car purchase and driving.

　　Merchants said that according to the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Illegal Electric Three-and Four-Wheelers, by the end of this year, all "old scooters" can no longer be sold or on the road. The car they are selling now is licensed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, but the car type is defined as a three-wheeled motorcycle, so it is necessary to get the "Beijing B" number plate. This kind of car can be bought with confidence and is not affected by the three-year transition period. "Because the vehicle has to enter the catalogue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it will cost a lot of money, so the car is expensive now. You spend thousands of dollars riding an illegal car, and it is thousands of dollars after being detained by the traffic police. It is better to buy a traffic police in one step and not check it. "

　　Don’t you need to take a motor vehicle driver’s license to drive a motorcycle with "Jing B" number plate on the road? Faced with the reporter’s question, the merchant hesitated for a long time and replied that according to the current laws and regulations, only the "Beijing B" number plate is required for vehicles, and the driver is not required to hold a motor vehicle driver’s license. As for whether the traffic police will check it after the transition period expires, it has not yet been decided.

　　Chaos

　　All kinds of gimmicks make it difficult to tell the truth from the false.

　　The reporter’s visit found that in many urban areas, merchants have different interpretations of the policies and regulations of electric three-wheeled vehicles. In addition to the "new national standard" that is strongly advocated, "licensing" has become a big gimmick.

　　When visiting a number of electric car shops in West Building Materials City, Changping District, the merchants asked the reporter whether his ID card belonged to Changping District or Haidian District. The merchant explained that it is necessary to recognize the ID card to apply for the "Jing B" number plate now. The West Road of Building Materials City is at the junction of Changping District and Haidian District, but the rules for licensing in the two regions are different. If Changping District is shown on the ID card, the "Jing B" number plate can be handled directly, but if it is Haidian District, it is counted as within the six districts of the city and cannot be handled. "If you are from Haidian, we can do it for you and find a Gong Hu in the outer suburbs, but the handling fee will be more expensive, and you have to add 1,700 yuan."

　　In the past week, the reporter made unannounced visits to a number of electric car dealers in many regions. The opinions of the merchants mainly focused on the following points: First, the "old scooter" will no longer be allowed to go on the road in the future, and the "new national standard" car is a three-wheeled motorcycle, which can replace the old scooter. Second, the "new national standard" car belongs to a motor vehicle, and it needs to be on the "Beijing B" number plate, which can be handled by itself or through "licensing". Third, drivers are not required to hold motor vehicle driving licenses, which are not within the scope of strict investigation by the traffic control department and are not affected by the three-year transition period.

　　The reporter inquired about the relevant policies and found that these conclusions given by the merchants were full of doubts. While avoiding talking about many core requirements issued by the government, many laws and regulations were re-grafted out of context, and a large number of concepts were completely confused.

　　Question 1

　　Are all "old scooters" banned at the end of the year?

　　Liu Jian, deputy squadron leader of the Motor Vehicle Management Squadron of the Vehicle Administration Office, told the reporter that the term "old scooter" is a concept hyped by businesses, which generally refers to electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles. There is no iterative or mutual elimination relationship between the two. In the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Illegal Electric Three-and Four-Wheelers", the handling methods for the sale and riding of illegal electric three-and four-wheelers have been clarified. The merchant said, "All ‘ Elderly scooter ’ It is not accurate to say that you will not be allowed to go on the road in the future. There are compliance and non-compliance among electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles. Among them, when the compliant vehicles leave the factory, they should obtain the factory qualification certificate of the whole motor vehicle, and at the same time, they should be included in the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products, which is also referred to as the "Announcement Catalogue" for merchants. At present, there are more than 900 models and more than 170 brands of related vehicles involved. For compliant vehicles, there is no "new national standard", and the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products has always existed and is constantly updated.

　　Hou Fei, chief of the Ping An Office, said that according to the requirements of the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Illegal Electric Three-and Four-Wheelers, from January 1 next year, illegal electric three-and four-wheelers will be completely banned from the road in Beijing. At this stage, for the management of these vehicles, the traffic control department mainly investigates drivers’ illegal driving behaviors such as running lights and retrograde. Now the compliant vehicles being sold by merchants are actually not unrestricted. The driving range allowed by compliant electric tricycles is outside the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing. In the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Three-wheeled Motorcycles and Disabled Wheelchairs issued in 2010, it is clearly stipulated that three-wheeled motorcycles are prohibited from driving on the roads within the Sixth Ring Road (inclusive) of this city. The so-called compliant electric four-wheeled vehicles are actually regarded as electric vehicles, and the relevant requirements refer to the relevant management measures for new energy vehicles.

　　Question 2

　　Just license the vehicle, don’t you need the driver’s license?

　　"Just now we have talked about the difference between an electric tricycle and a four-wheeled vehicle." Liu Jian said that electric tricycles belong to three-wheeled motorcycles and need to be equipped with motorcycle number plates, while electric four-wheeled vehicles need to be equipped with special number plates for new energy vehicles since they are regarded as electric vehicles.

　　"The need for a motor vehicle driver’s license has nothing to do with the transition period." Wen Wei, a policeman from the Optimization Section of the Order Department, told reporters that it is also wrong for merchants to say that they only need to be licensed without holding a motor vehicle driver’s license. As long as you are driving a motor vehicle on the road, the driver should hold the corresponding motor vehicle driver’s license. Even if you are riding an electric tricycle, driving without a motor vehicle driver’s license is also an unlicensed driving behavior.

　　Question 3

　　Why are businesses misleading consumers repeatedly prohibited?

　　In the verification of the traffic control department, the reporter found that the driving requirements for electric three-wheeled vehicles also include many aspects, such as the requirements for drivers and their age, that is, those over 18 and under 60, and those over 70 need to downgrade their motor vehicle driving licenses. The purpose of all kinds of requirements is to protect the driving safety of drivers and maintain the traffic order in this city. However, why do businesses now dare to mislead consumers with laws and regulations?

　　Under the surface, there are still many details worthy of further refinement by relevant departments. Previously, when this newspaper conducted a series of surveys on the scooter for the elderly, it was very common for businesses to sell electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles to the elderly without motor vehicle driving licenses. Compared with the process of buying a car, because the driver’s license information needs to be provided when shaking the number, the probability of the driver driving without a license after buying a car is greatly reduced. When buying an electric three-wheeled vehicle, who will supervise whether the car buyer has a driver’s license? In the process of vehicle inspection, it is not mandatory for me to be present or provide identification of the vehicle owner. From this point of view, there is still room for further improvement in many links in the whole process.

　　Tips

　　How to choose a compliant electric tricycle?

　　Recently, the people who are very concerned about the purchase and riding regulations of electric three-wheeled vehicles are parents of students. Since April 14th, many parents have reported that some kindergartens and primary schools have started to count how many children go to and from school by electric tricycle. Many parents ask, when buying an electric tricycle, how can you know whether the car you bought is compliant or not?

　　The traffic control department suggested that the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products is an important basis, and the brands and models of compliant vehicles can be compared with the relevant information in the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, the reporter found that the information that can be found on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is displayed in batches, not a summary table. For example, at present, the 370th batch is being publicized. In the form, all kinds of vehicles are mixed together, and there are dozens of types such as motorcycles, wreckers and caravans. It is not convenient to find the corresponding batch and then pick out the corresponding vehicle type. Although there is a query function at the top of the form, it is necessary to provide all kinds of information such as enterprise name, product trademark, product name and product model, which is difficult for the elderly to query.

　　After further verification with the traffic control department, in addition to referring to the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products, there is another simple way, that is, to check the ex-factory certificate of the vehicle from the seller during the car purchase process. This certificate of conformity is like the "identity card" of a compliant vehicle, and its content corresponds to the registration information of the vehicle in the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products.

　　In addition to compliance with cars, people should also be "compliant". Electric tricycles belong to three-wheeled motorcycles, and motorcycles are divided into ordinary motorcycles and mopeds. To apply for ordinary motorcycle driving qualification, you need to meet the requirements of over 18 years old and under 60 years old, while to apply for moped driving qualification, you can be over 18 years old. If you are over 70 years old, you are not allowed to drive ordinary motorcycles, and you should be downgraded to moped, that is, "F".

　　It should be noted that the difference between ordinary and mopeds is not judged only by the size and weight of the vehicle. According to the standard, motorcycles with a speed of more than 50 km/h, a displacement of more than 50cc and a total rated power of motors of more than 4 kW are recognized as ordinary motorcycles. In the process of buying a car, consumers can consult the merchants for detailed vehicle parameters.

　　In addition, compliant electric four-wheeled vehicles are small and micro passenger vehicles, and the vehicle classification belongs to pure electric vehicles among new energy vehicles. The requirements for licensing, purchase and driving on the road refer to the relevant management measures for new energy vehicles.

Royal Malaysian Police Headquarters Statement

　　Cctv newsThe Royal Malaysian Police Headquarters issued a statement on the morning of 18th, saying that Malaysian police had arrested a male suspect suspected of murdering Jin Zhengnan. This is the third suspect arrested by the police.The suspect holds a North Korean passport. His name is RI JONG CHOL and his date of birth is May 6, 1970.Further investigation is continuing. In addition, the police earlier arrested a Malaysian man to assist in the investigation. (CCTV reporter Deng Xuemei Jia Jianjing Jin Dong)

　　Malaysian police have interrogated the suspect in Jin Zhengnan’s murder case.

　　On the afternoon of 17th, Malaysian police interrogated Malaysian man Mohammad farid who was suspected to be related to this incident. In order to avoid being photographed by the waiting media, farid entered through the back door of the police station under the escort of the police. Farid, 26, is the boyfriend of the second Indonesian female suspect involved in the case.

　　After the death of Jung-nam Kim, Malaysian police arrested two female suspects with Vietnamese and Indonesian passports on 15th and 16th respectively to assist in the investigation. The picture taken by CCTV reporter on the 16th showed that two female suspects were tried at Sepang police station at the same time that morning, and the formalities for postponing detention were completed.

　　North Korean ambassador: refused to recognize the autopsy results of Malaysia

　　At 11 o’clock on the evening of 17th, Jiang Zhe, the North Korean ambassador to Malaysia, appeared outside the forensic identification center of Kuala Lumpur Hospital where the body of the dead North Korean man was stored, and handed a paper statement to the media present. The statement confirmed that the man who died at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on the 13th was a North Korean citizen and held a diplomatic passport. The statement also stated that Malaysia forced an autopsy on the body of the dead North Korean man without the consent of the DPRK, and the DPRK would refuse to recognize the autopsy results.

　　Jiang Zhe said that the North Korean Embassy confirmed that the deceased was a North Korean citizen, and the North Korean Embassy subsequently refused to conduct an autopsy on the deceased. However, in the absence of personnel from the DPRK embassy, the hospital performed an autopsy on the deceased and refused to return the deceased’s body to the DPRK embassy.

　　Jiang Zhe, North Korean Ambassador to Malaysia:We refused to conduct an autopsy on the deceased. Ma Fang claimed that the deceased died of a heart attack. Only in this way did Ma have reason to conduct an autopsy. However, they forced an autopsy on the deceased without our presence.

　　North Korean ambassador: Malaysia deliberately hides the truth

　

　　Subsequently, Jiang Zhe handed a paper statement to the media present. The statement said that Malaysia had promised to return the body of the deceased if the DPRK submitted an application to the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs according to procedures after the autopsy was completed, but the DPRK’s request was delayed.

　　Jiang Zhe said that he had lodged a serious protest at the Malaysian police headquarters and once again demanded that Malaysia immediately hand over the body of the deceased to the DPRK Embassy. However, Malaysia once again rejected the DPRK’s request, which shows that Malaysia is deliberately concealing the truth.

　　Jiang Zhe, North Korean Ambassador to Malaysia:This is why (17th) in the afternoon, I went to the Malaysian police headquarters and strongly urged Ma Fangli to hand over the body of the deceased to the North Korean Embassy, but Ma Fang refused, and the reasons they gave had nothing to do with finding out the cause of death of the deceased.

　　Ambassador of North Korea: South Korea diverts its attention and slanders North Korea.

　　Jiang Zhe also accused South Korea of discrediting North Korea through this incident. Jiang Zhe hoped that the Malaysian government would not get involved in this conspiracy of "hostile forces" and demanded that the body of the deceased and the autopsy results be handed over to the DPRK as soon as possible.

　　Jiang Zhe said in a statement that the DPRK suspected that Malaysia had been instructed by the ROK to take action. The South Korean regime tried to use this incident to extricate itself from their biggest political scandal so far, and did not hesitate to slander the DPRK and mislead the international community through cunning plots and means.

　　Jiang Zhe, North Korean Ambassador to Malaysia:Therefore, this also strongly shows that Malaysia is deliberately deceiving us. Malaysia is deliberately hiding some facts that need time to verify. They are plotting with other external forces in an attempt to undermine the image of our North Korea.

　　Ambassador of the DPRK: The DPRK will appeal to the International Court of Justice.

　　In a statement issued on the same day, Jiang Zhe said that in protest, North Korea would appeal the incident to the International Court of Justice. Jiang Zhe did not specify the identity of the dead North Korean man in the media interview and subsequent statement.

　　Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Zahid confirmed at a press conference on the 16th that the North Korean man who died at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on the 13th was Jin Zhengnan. The North Korean Embassy in Malaysia has asked Malaysia to return the remains of the deceased, but Malaysia must first complete the autopsy and other processes before handing over the remains through the embassy.

　　The story of a group of people and a dog who were finally rescued in Wenchuan earthquake.

　　The strange fate of man and dog in the earthquake

　　□ Li Keyong Chu Guoqiang

　　After the Wenchuan earthquake, Yuan Yusong and seven workers survived for 17 days in the desolate mountains of Mianzhu, Sichuan Province with only 5 kilograms of rice, becoming the last rescuers of the disaster. Those hellish days, the brothers who lived and died together and the dog named "Black Wolf" will all be unforgettable memories for him.

　　On May 13, 2008, the day after the earthquake, Yuan Yusong and several people who had escaped death walked blankly in the maze of mountains with wounds, hunger and fatigue. At 10 o’clock in the morning, they met a group of miners, and the dog followed them. It was a huge male dog, weighing 50 or 60 Jin, with dark coat, stout limbs and sharp teeth, which was daunting to look at. This is not a miner’s dog. I don’t know when and where it came from.

　　It looks tired, too There are steep slopes, landslides and mudslides everywhere. People are struggling to dodge left and right, and dogs are as clumsy as people, losing the agility and agility that animals should have. Eyes are not fierce, only frightened fear and panic. It doesn’t bark, so it follows people step by step. People’s initial attitude is neither to drive away nor to welcome it, so let it follow at arm’s length.

　　Suddenly, the dog barked, which surprised everyone. The dog stood still and barked with its head up. People are wondering, a wave of aftershocks is coming, and everyone quickly squats down. Back to god, people look at dogs with new eyes. It turns out that dogs really have a hunch about earthquakes. People began to think that the dog was useful and could act as an "alarm" at critical moments.

　　In the afternoon, suddenly the dog barked again, this time louder, and he was lying on the ground, his paws stretched out and his whole body was tight. Everyone has experience, so stop at once. In less than a minute, a stronger aftershock came, the earth shook and the soil rolled down wrapped in boulders, engulfing the only way in front of us.

　　In fear, people are grateful to the dog, which saved everyone’s life. They named the dog "Black Wolf" according to its appearance.

　　At that time, people were carrying about 5 kilograms of rice, which was snatched from the collapsed shed. This is all the food for the fleeing team. Someone glanced at the "black wolf" and said, "We are so hungry, can we eat anything?" Although the words are euphemistic, everyone understands the meaning.

　　Tang Xinggao, the contractor, said, "No!" After a debate, the opinion of "not eating" prevailed, and the "black wolf" escaped temporarily.

　　"Black Wolf" is very spiritual, and soon understood that "Black Wolf" is his own name. When anyone shouts, it immediately runs over. People give it a little when eating, and it seems to know how to save. It licks the rice in the bowl and stops eating, lying quietly on the side. It eats less than people, and it can’t eat dried rice. People can dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, but it can’t eat either, so its physical strength drops rapidly, and people pick it up when it can’t get up on the higher dam. Knowing that people are helping it, it lies very meekly in people’s arms, sticking out its thick soft tongue and licking people’s hands.

　　It rained on the night of the 13th, and it was very cold. People had nowhere to hide, and they were soaked through, so they could only huddle together. At first, the "black wolf" lay aside, and then slowly moved among people, next to people’s legs, curled up into a ball.

　　Yuan Yusong missed his wife and children outside the mountain, and his heavy sadness overwhelmed him. The "black wolf" is around him, and a heat is coming through the dog’s fur, which makes him feel a sense of warmth. From this moment on, he really regarded the "black wolf" as a partner with the same fate.

　　On the 14th, the "Black Wolf" began to fall behind, and sometimes people had to stop and wait for it. Someone once again proposed to kill and eat it, and the words were no longer euphemistic: "At this time, human life is the most important!" But the opposition is also more intense. Yuan Yusong stopped, stared at the man and said slowly, "The life of the black wolf is also a life."

　　At night, the exhausted people lit a bonfire and gathered around to keep warm, specially letting the "black wolf" lie close to the fire. It is weaker, and when it lies down, it doesn’t want to move any more, and its mouth screams like a baby. Yuan Yusong noticed that his eyes became cloudy and there was a big tear hanging from the corner of his eye.

　　On the fourth day after the earthquake, they came to a river at noon. There is a cliff more than 20 meters high. People with good physical strength climb it first, and then pull the people behind them one by one with a rope with a thick thumb. People tied the rope to the black wolf and hung it vertically. It knows what it is doing and waits for people to play with it without saying a word.

　　Suddenly, someone above said, "The road ahead is broken. Let’s all retreat." "Black Wolf" was hung down again. Its footsteps are particularly staggering, and it shakes as it walks. At this time, Yuan Yusong had some ominous premonitions. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting behind me: "The black wolf is dying!"

　　At this time, the "black wolf" couldn’t open his narrowed eyes. He wanted to stick out his tongue and lick Yuan Yusong, but he didn’t have the strength to reach it …

　　Yuan Yusong and several others cried. They lost a companion.

　　At this time, some people advocated eating dogs: "The dogs are all dead, can’t they eat?" We are starving, too. "

　　Yuan Yusong whispered, "It’s our family!" His opinion was supported by the majority.

　　A special funeral was held. People found a pothole, carried the dog in, laid it flat, took soil with their hands, sprinkled it on them, and pressed some stones on it. This group of trapped people temporarily forgot their plight and stood around the grave of the "black wolf" solemnly.

　　On this day, people decided that people with good physical strength should find their way first, and Yuan Yusong and others were behind to take care of the wounded and the elderly. A total of eight people stayed, and they encouraged each other: "The’ black wolf’ starved to death without eating wild vegetables, and we have to eat no matter how hard it is!" Thirteen days later, the rescue helicopter finally arrived.

　　A year later, Yuan Yusong, who had returned to work in Hanwang Construction Company, still had tears in his eyes. He said: "It is only in desperation that I understand that no matter how small a life is, it has its value and dignity. Black Wolf shares weal and woe with us like brothers. When it dies, let it die with dignity. Between heaven and earth, we humans are not the masters, but just one of hundreds of millions of creatures. To survive for a long time, we must be kind to nature and don’t wait until it is too late to understand this truth. "
