Re: No Licence plate needed
its true that they dont care about small bikes
or in yangzhou any bike , license ,plate, insurance or anything else you are" supposed" to have
until
you have an accident then all rules will be enforced to the letter
just got back from the impond yard having gone to bail out my mates bike which was involved in a wee prang
lucky to get it back at all , and then only after using a few family favors and distributing a few pink maos around
on the bright side some really cool bikes to be found in the impound yard
all "for sale" lol
Re: No Licence plate needed
I've been told the same thing by police officers here in Tianjin, and in fact I've been told that it's not possible to register/plate those small bikes because they don't count. So that's what I've been riding around for the last year and a half.
But I've seen and had 2 different people tell me this past week that the police are confiscating them now. I saw a double-decker car trailer parked at a busy intersection and the top was half-loaded with those small bikes. The police were at all 4 corners of the street stopping people and taking bikes there, no questions asked.
Granted Tianjin is a "bike-free" city, so that may be playing a part of it, but if they don't count as bikes then surely there's nothing wrong right? I'm suspecting the "they don't count" is more of a "we don't enforce for those bikes", which just happened to change this week.

Re: No Licence plate needed
yeah, they don't care until......
-They decide to have a purge on small bikes and impound yours/fine you/send you to be re-educated in a detention center
-You get in an accident and you are 100% at fault regardless
-You hit a pedestrian/scooter/bicycle and they persue you for injury and damage, and keep inflating and lying about the compensation and you can't defend yourself because you don't have an insurance company
If you listen to what other people say and really believe that the cops 'don't care', and it 'doesn't matter because everyone else does it' you are officially a..............

Total agreement.
People ... you know, of course, that the vast majority of "unplated" or "not available in China" bikes are stolen, right?
Last week, had a guy offer me a Yamaha YBR for 1,000 rmb ... claimed he "lost" the docs and the bike was from another province, and now needed immediate cash to get the train back home to tend to an ailing relative. Sheesh ... I know I look dumb ... BUT even I kinda figured that one out.
I've never quite figured out the riders who espouse their charitable work, and then ride around on a stolen bike. :rolleyes1:
