Usually inconspicuous Electric vehicle helmet , why has it become a hot topic recently, and the price has risen?
During the visit, several manufacturers of electric vehicle helmets indicated that the main reason for buying helmets was that recently the traffic police began to investigate the behavior of riding electric vehicles without helmets. Mr. Gao, a citizen, said that he was rumored to be fined for not wearing a helmet in June. "If you are fined 50 yuan at a time, you might as well buy a helmet in a hurry.".
In the WeChat circle of friends, there are even such promotional words: 40 yuan/piece today, 45 yuan/piece tomorrow, stock is tight, first come, first served.
According to the unified arrangement of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the traffic police departments at all levels in Henan launched the "One Helmet One Belt" safety care action. Through publicity, advocacy, persuasion and other operations, motorcycle and electric bicycle riders were allowed to wear safety helmets, and car riders used safety belts consciously. During this period, May is the stage of advocacy. From June 1, our province will carry out the "One Helmet Belt" persuasion, investigation and correction activities with the whole country. The key points of the activity are: drivers and passengers fail to use seat belts according to the rules; Motorcycle riders fail to wear safety helmets according to the rules; Electric bicycle riders do not wear safety helmets according to the rules.
For electric bicycle riders who do not wear helmets, correction and education should be given priority. For example, through the establishment of learning and education sites, watching videos of violations, learning to copy traffic safety regulations, participating in voluntary persuasion activities, and gathering praise from friends, we urge riders to wear safety helmets consciously, so that wearing safety helmets becomes a conscious behavior.
In other words, what merchants and citizens say about "driving an electric bike in June without wearing a helmet is not accurate.".
Relevant personnel from the Traffic Police Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department said that the main purpose of the "One Helmet Belt" persuasion, investigation and correction activities was to encourage traffic participants to drive in a civilized and safe manner. As far as wearing helmets for electric vehicles is concerned, it is to prevent accidents from causing unnecessary injuries to riders.
There is no national uniform quality specification for electric vehicle helmets
For wearing helmets on electric vehicles, many citizens said that it is necessary to wear helmets for their own safety because of their solidarity and cooperation.
However, some citizens hold different opinions. Xiao Zhang, a citizen, said, "My home is in a small county town. It's too hot to wear a helmet on an electric bike in summer. It's also very special. Maybe everyone has not adapted to it." Miss Zhao, who loves beauty, said, "Wearing a helmet destroys the hair style. Wearing a helmet sweats a lot, and now you have to wash your hair every day." Some citizens also think that there is a difference between a helmet worth 30 or 40 yuan and a helmet worth 70 or 80 yuan, What protective functions do helmets worth hundreds of yuan have?
In the national standards, there are corresponding rules for motorcycle passenger helmets, fire helmets, and police bulletproof helmets, defining the scope of application, objectives, specification attributes, specification drafting units, specification proposal parts, etc. For example, the drafting unit of motorcycle helmet specifications is the Research Institute of Transportation Management of the Ministry of Public Security, and the release part of the specifications is the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (note: now incorporated into the General Administration of Market Supervision and Management of the People's Republic of China) and the National Standardization Administration Committee of China. Find the electric vehicle helmet, and the result is "temporarily unavailable".
Industry insiders also indicated that the shell of common helmets includes engineering plastics, glass fiber reinforced plastics, carbon fiber and other raw materials. In addition to the difference in raw materials, the coverage area of helmets also has an important impact on safety. Full helmet has the best protective effect, but poor air permeability; 3/4 helmets integrate protection and ventilation; Half helmet is convenient to wear, but the ability to maintain safety is poor; There is also a "lift up helmet" that can completely turn up the chin device, which is convenient to wear and has good maintainability. However, there is no national standard for electric vehicle helmets produced and sold by electric vehicle helmet manufacturers. Citizens cannot judge the quality of a helmet simply from the thickness of its raw materials or the weight. It is suggested to buy a well-known brand or an electric vehicle helmet manufacturer that can produce standard motorcycle helmets.
According to relevant research and calculation, the good habit of wearing safety helmets correctly can reduce the risk of death in an incident by 60% to 70%. Once an incident occurs, "safety helmets" may be "life-saving helmets".
Currently, helmets sold in malls mainly include general helmets and motorcycle passenger helmets. Helmets priced at 30-80 yuan in the market are different in the thickness of the buffer layer, the transmittance and hardness of goggles, the size of the pad and comfort. The safety helmet is compulsorily certified by the state, which is commonly referred to as "3C certification". When purchasing helmets, it is necessary to check the certificate of the helmet, identify whether it has passed the certification test of the mandatory national standard Motorcycle Passenger Helmets (GB811-2010), and check whether it has passed CCC certification. When purchasing helmets, one should not be greedy for bargains. One must buy a brand with good reputation and larger brand through formal channels. When purchasing helmets, one should carefully check the product name, electric vehicle helmet manufacturer's certificate, factory name and address, performance specifications, etc. Poor helmets can not maintain the head as expected, and even cause parts to break due to collision, resulting in other secondary injuries to organs.
