On June 3, Gia Lai Provincial Police said that through inspecting educational institutions in the area, Phu My Nam Commune Police discovered that many students arbitrarily ordered equipment online to customize and make electric bicycles, posing a potential risk of traffic unsafety.
Common violations such as changing vehicle structure, installing additional lights and horns not in accordance with regulations; intervening in the power supply unit, changing batteries to increase vehicle capacity and speed.
Modifying and modifying reduces the durability of vehicles, and at the same time potentially poses a risk of traffic unsafety, easily leading to accidents and electrical battery explosions.
According to regulations, people under 16 years old are allowed to use electric bicycles and do not need a driver's license. Original electric bicycles have a design speed of less than 40km/h.
However, in order to increase speed and create differentiation, some cases have arbitrarily modified, modified, and changed vehicle structures to increase capacity, increasing speed to 80-120km/h, or even higher.
Faced with the above situation, Phu My Nam Commune Police have coordinated with educational institutions to organize propaganda and disseminate legal regulations on traffic order and safety to students and parents. At the same time, they requested violating students to dismantle all modified parts and return vehicles to their original state.
The commune police also organized for students and parents to sign commitments not to re-offend, ensuring strict compliance with regulations when traveling on the road.
Phu My Nam Commune Police said they will strengthen patrols, inspections and strictly handle vehicle modification acts, contributing to building a safe and civilized school traffic environment.
