Hong Kong and Macao Sudden Search
In the past three years, Hong Kong has almost broken contact with the outside world due to the epidemic.As the Hong Kong Government announced the succession with overseas at the beginning of this year, the number of visitors to Hong Kong has rebounded, and many friends from overseas and mainland China have been traveling to Hong Kong to travel or do public work.
In gossip, many friends praised Hong Kong's experience of unprecedented epidemic, and the social vitality has not been obviously weakened.However, some friends also pointed out that a very strange phenomenon found in Hong Kong is that Delste drivers are mostly elderly people.
Friends, for example, he said from Hong Kong Airport to the hotel. When he got on the car, he saw that the driver was an elder with a white hair. It is estimated that he was 70 years old.The driver shakes from time to time when he drives. Fortunately, he knew he was old and drove slowly. As a result, he arrived at the hotel smoothly and smoothly.But my friends were unsatisfactory along the way.
Friends say nothing wrong. Hong Kong can indeed see the older driver everywhere.According to the number of Hong Kong Government, more than 200,000 people currently hold a Dushi driving license, of which more than half of them are over 60 years old, with 110,000 people; about 1,600 people 80 to 89, and almost 50 people over 90 years old or more.EssenceDelste drivers are old and have become a characteristic of Hong Kong.
A friend asked curiously: Why are there many elders in Hong Kong's Dree drivers?In fact, the reason is very simple, which is mainly related to the salary and treatment of the Hong Kong Dershon industry.
In Hong Kong, the salary and benefits of bus drivers are better. In contrast, the Delta driver has long working hours and unstable income. It has been difficult to attract young people to the industry for a long time.Many Dushi drivers often drive to the Delta after the retirement of the bus company.After years of development, the main forces of the Dushi industry have gradually changed from the Qingzhuang family to the elderly group.
At the same time, in recent years, the disparity between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong has become larger and larger, and many grass -roots people have low income. After retirement, savings are not enough to cope with their old age, so they have to extend their working periods to increase savings.The Dushi driver industry is free to work, the threshold for entrances is low, and the working hours are elastic, which has just become a big popular choice for the employment of silver -haired people.
The elderly people with a driving license in Hong Kong, as long as they do not have serious illnesses, if they want to retreat, they can go to Dushi to rent a car, and then start 8 to 10 hours a day to earn some meager income.
Of course, the age of the Destle driver is not the unique phenomenon in Hong Kong.Looking around all over the world, like Japan in Asia, most of the Delta drivers are also elders.According to statistics, the average age of Japanese Delsters is about 60 years old, which is not as good as Hong Kong.
However, many parts of the world have the upper limit of professional drivers. For example, Japan and Mainland China have the upper limit of professional drivers at 75 and 60, respectively.Hong Kong law does not restrict the age of professional drivers.
According to Hong Kong law, after the 70th year of the citizens, as long as the registered doctor was issued a "physical examination certificate" to prove that the physical condition is suitable for driving, a license can be issued for one to three years.In other words, once the elderly Delta driver can continue to start work once the physical examination or proves that the body is not hindered.
Many Hong Kong people appreciate the work attitude of "living and getting old" by drivers, but more people are worried about the "road like a tiger" and think that the Dest driver as an important user of the road,Officials must set up more restrictions on their age or physical condition.
In fact, in recent years, there have been too many traffic accidents related to elderly drivers in Hong Kong in recent years.For example, in 2021, there were nearly a thousand traffic accidents involving drivers over 70 years of age. Among them, more than 40 % of the Delste drivers were not only higher than other commercial vehicle drivers.Times.
Earlier, a serious car accident involving an elderly Delta driver occurred in the North Point of Hong Kong Island.A Destle suddenly crashed when he was driving on the hillside slope of the turret. He rushed off the Emperor Road at a high speed and hit the passers -by, causing the four to be injured.The law enforcement department arrested and sued an 85 -year -old Delste driver involved in the event.
The incident once again attracted the attention of Hong Kong people to pay attention to whether the Texa driver's threshold needs to be improved. Another similar incident occurred in the East of Hong Kong Island.A seventy -seventh Dex driver picked up a female passenger on the way to the sea, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He was even more unconscious and frightened that the female passenger stopped to stop in time, and eventually did not cause serious traffic accidents.
One or more traffic accidents have made more and more Hong Kong people support the official improvement of the age and medical examination requirements of the Delta driver to ensure that they meet the health of normal drivers.After all, as the driver gets older, their physical fitness, attention and response ability will also decline, bringing greater risks to road security.
But then, once these measures are implemented, I am afraid that another problem will be derived.Most of the Hong Kong Delste drivers are older and largely lacking attractiveness due to poor industry benefits. In addition, many elderly people have no social security, so they are self -reliant to be a Delste driver.If the elderly are not avoided as a Delta driver, Hong Kong society will appear "Delos driver shortage".The problem of the greater age of the Delste driver seems to be easy to solve, but it is not small at all.
