Let's take a closer look at the content of children riding a bike

Article 72 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that driving bicycles and tricycles must be at least 12 years old, and driving electric bicycles must be 16 years old.

Why should the law be provided like this? If parents are accompanied, can they ride on the road? Isn't it possible to ride in the community and parks? Shanxi Public Security Traffic Police will answer one by one.

Question: Why should the regulations stipulate that "driving a bicycle must be 12 years old"?

Answer: From a scientific perspective, children who are 12 years old are enough to adapt to the driving conditions of the road in terms of recognition ability and compliance with the rules. Nowadays, children are developing fast, they look tall, and they learn to learn quickly, but it is not to say that they can get on the road, because he may not fully understand the road rules. It is not uncommon for children under the age of 12 to ride a bicycle. Once it causes personal damage, it is a huge blow to children and families.

Question: When the guardian cares or accompanies the riding, can a child under the age of 12 be able to ride on the road?

Answer: The regulations do not write "parents can ride when parents are accompanied", so even if the guardian is accompanied by the side, children under the age of 12 cannot ride on the road. Moreover, even if parents take care of them, they cannot completely avoid traffic accidents. Once there is an emergency, the child's response ability is also weak, and it is prone to danger.

Question: Can children under the age of 12 be riding in the community and parks?

Answer: According to the road safety law, "roads" refer to places where roads, urban roads and although they are within the jurisdiction of the unit but allowing social motor vehicles to pass through. If the roads in the community and parks allow social vehicles to pass, children cannot ride on it. Instead, children can ride a bike if they are not allowed to pass in the community open space and park open space.

Question: When a child under the age of 12, a child was in an accident on the road. Is the guardian responsible?

Answer: Children under 12 years of age are those with no capacity for civil behavior or people who restrict civil behavior. If an accident causes personal or property damage, the guardian will be responsible.
