2. Traffic Safety (1) Caution when Walking Electric bicycles, motorbikes, and other small vehicles do not follow traffic rules and ignore traffic signals, drive in the wrong direction, and even drive on the sidewalk, so you need to be extremely careful not only when driving but also when walking.
(2) Wearing a seat belt The Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China requires that all drivers and passengers (including those sitting in the back seat of a taxi) wear seat belts (safety belts) (Article 51).
Also, if you are involved in an accident while riding in a taxi or other vehicle, if you are not wearing a seat belt, you may not be able to receive 100% of the compensation under your voluntary insurance, even if the accident was the fault of the driver (or the driver of the other vehicle), so please be sure to wear a seat belt.
(3) Precautions when using smartphone-based ride-hailing services (DiDi, etc.) While ride-hailing services are highly convenient, they also include so-called "ride-sharing" services in which private drivers use their own cars. Please keep in mind that these services do not necessarily include drivers with excellent driving skills and customer service manners.
Therefore, when using a smartphone ride-hailing service, it is effective to take note of the vehicle's license plate number in advance and use vehicles labeled as taxis ("rented vehicles" or "taxi") (they belong to a taxi company and are therefore easier to track) so that you are prepared if you encounter bad customer service or dangerous driving.
If you actually encounter such a situation, we recommend that you immediately report it to the respective company's service hotline.
