Why Are Motorcycles Banned in China?

[NatalieRose]

Motorcycles are banned in China because riders do not obey traffic rules. Below is a detailed explanation of the motorcycle ban in China: 1. Disregard for Traffic Rules: Due to the relatively low price of motorcycles, almost everyone can afford one. However, in the early stages, people's safety awareness was not well-developed, leading to numerous traffic violations. 2. Public Security Issues: In the past, motorcycles did not have license plates as they do now, making it difficult to track down owners for violations. This allowed criminals to use motorcycles for illegal activities, such as the notorious "snatch thefts," where thieves would suddenly appear on motorcycles to snatch money or belongings from pedestrians. This created significant challenges for law enforcement and often endangered innocent bystanders during pursuits.
