Deliverymen in the traffic

120'

It seems food deliverymen(送货员) always drive their motorbikes very quickly on the road. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets (头盔) and many of them don't follow(遵守) traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.

It's not good to break traffic rules and it has caught many people’s eyes. In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents(事故) in Shanghai. That means a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road every two and a half days.

What makes deliverymen take such risks(冒险)? The food delivery service companies have strict rules and the customers(顾客)want to get their food quickly.

Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he doesn’t deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. If customers say something bad about the deliverymen, they will also get fines.

To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to make changes about their incentive systems(激励制度), said CRI Online．

Some cities are also taking actions. Shanghai has asked companies to help their deliverymen learn traffic rules and safety, Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman is caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he can’t drive food service delivery vehicles(交通工具) for a whole year．
