Case 2

No coincidence. On a cloudy day recently, a woman named Lu drove an electric bicycle straight from west to east in Shuanghe Industrial Park. When passing a warehouse, Qin from a company in the park was driving a forklift to unload goods onto a van. After noticing Lu Moumou who was riding a bicycle, Qin Moumou had stopped unloading the goods. However, because Lu Moumou illegally installed an awning, he failed to detect the vehicle ahead in time and crashed into the forklift.

After the collision, Lu fell to the ground due to inertia and was seriously injured. Although timely medical treatment was not life-threatening, Lu spent tens of thousands of yuan on medical expenses alone.

“These two traffic accidents were completely avoidable. It was precisely the illegal installation of awnings on electric bicycles that led to blind spots and unstable centers of gravity, which led to the accidents.” The relevant person in charge of the Yuyao Traffic Police said that the installation of awnings on electric bicycles After the awning is installed, it will not only cause the height and weight of the vehicle to change, but also change the main technical parameters and performance of the vehicle. It will also change the center of gravity of the vehicle and increase the windward resistance. When encountering strong winds or meeting large vehicles, the vehicle will follow the awning. It flutters and swings left and right, affecting the stability of the ride. In addition, the installation of a canopy on an electric bicycle will block the driver’s view. At the same time, it will also affect the safety of other people due to over-width, over-height, over-weight, etc.

Yuyao traffic police reminded that it is illegal to install a canopy. It will not only affect the line of sight, but also cause the vehicle to lose balance and roll over. In the event of a collision, the vehicle may be punctured by the awning and cause secondary injuries. For your safety and the safety of others, please do not let the rain shelter become a “death-killing shelter”!
