Shanghai online ride-hailing driver resists law enforcement and collides with police car, Didi: The driver has been banned

  On the morning of September 4, a police car collision case occurred at an intersection in Huangpu District, Shanghai. At noon on the same day, the Huangpu Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau reported that the case was caused by the police’s handling of the illegal behavior of online car-hailing. Li, the driver of the online car-hailing car, tried to flee the scene, causing one sanitation worker to be injured and one police car to be damaged.

  On the afternoon of September 4, Didi responded to the media by saying that the driver in question had indeed registered an online car-hailing driver on the Didi platform and had banned the driver from the platform. Regarding the online rumor that the driver in question had also registered an online car-hailing driver account in Meituan, a Meituan staff member told reporters that the vehicle in question had been registered by other drivers on the platform, but had been banned before. The driver in question had not been registered on the Meituan platform.

  At present, Li is suspected of endangering public safety by other dangerous methods, and the case is under further investigation.

  Ride-hailing driver resists law enforcement and ramms police car

  On the morning of September 4, a video of "online ride-hailing drivers ramming police cars" attracted attention. The video showed that multiple police cars were parked at an intersection. When several police officers intercepted a black car with Shanghai license plates, the black car did not stop and drove directly to the police officers and police cars on duty. Eventually, the black car stopped after hitting a police car parked on the side of the road, and the driver of the car involved was controlled by the police on the spot. A scene picture shows damage to the right rear of a police car and damage to the front bumper of the vehicle involved.

  At noon on September 4, the Huangpu Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau reported that at about 9:25 on the same day, the police of the Huangpu Public Security Bureau were on duty at the Hankou intersection of Sichuan Middle Road when dealing with a small passenger car with the license plate Shanghai GY7201 for traffic violations. The driver of the car, Li (male, 34 years old, online ride-hailing driver), resisted law enforcement and wanted to drive away from the scene, knocking down a sanitation worker while driving.

  According to the report, during the police interception process, Li drove his car into a police car on the side of the road, and was later subdued by the police on the spot. The sanitation worker was checked by the hospital and discharged without any serious injuries, and no other personnel were injured. At present, the case is under further investigation.

  The driver involved did not have an online car-hailing business license

  According to Li, in March 2018, he and a friend shared a car in Shanghai, and the two began taking turns driving online.

  "I registered a Didi account myself, and he registered a Meituan taxi account," Li said. At that time, because his driver’s license had already been deducted 10 points, if he was punished by the traffic police, he would have to record 3 points and face the penalty of having his driver’s license deducted. "I couldn’t drive, so my job was gone. Just after delivering passengers, the car was parked by the yellow line and was seen by the police, and my mind was hot and impulsive."

  It is understood that Li is a foreign person who came to Shanghai, and his driver’s license is a foreign driver’s license. Li also does not have an "Online Booking Taxi Business Permit". For the incident, Li said that he regretted it very much after the incident.

  Didi responded that the driver involved had been banned

  After the incident, Didi responded to the media by saying that it had verified that Li’s information was consistent with the information reported by the police; when the driver registered on the platform, the three-certificate verification, background check, human-vehicle consistency, and facial recognition all passed completely, and the situation was normal. According to the police report, the incident occurred at 9:25. Didi platform verification showed that Li had stopped listening to orders at that time, and there were no passengers in the car. At present, the driver has been banned by the platform.

  The reporter learned from Meituan that the driver involved had not registered an online car-hailing driver account in Meituan, but the vehicle involved had been registered by other drivers on the platform and had been banned.

  The driver involved has no online car-hailing qualifications

  Didi may be fined up to 100,000 yuan

  Yesterday morning, the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission Law Enforcement Corps conducted an investigation on the "Didi" platform on the operation of the driver Li’s registration and receipt of orders on the online platform.

  The law enforcement corps of the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission said that "Didi" company did not compare and check the background data information according to regulations, did not clean up the non-compliant drivers and vehicles in time, and still sent orders for Li, a driver who did not have the qualifications of online car-hailing for a long time. The law enforcement department will impose a fine of more than 30,000 and less than 100,000 on the Didi platform for "providing ride-hailing information services for drivers who do not have the qualifications to operate" according to law.

  After investigating the background data of "Didi", law enforcement officers found that the driver Li completed the registration on the platform on August 3, 2016, started to engage in online car-hailing business, and registered the vehicle of Shanghai GY7201 on the platform in November of the same year. Since March 2018, Li has continued to have a large number of orders on the "Didi" platform. On the day of the incident (September 4), Li was still receiving orders through the Didi software and went from Dongzhu Anbang Road in Shanghai to the vicinity of the incident. The fare was 31.99 yuan (no passengers at the time of the incident).

  The reporter learned from the police that Li’s driver’s license had been deducted for 10 points at the time of the incident. After being told by the police that he would be fined 3 points and 200 yuan for illegal parking, he lost control of his emotions. Li is a foreign person who came to Shanghai. He holds a foreign driver’s license and does not have an "Online Booking Taxi Business License". The vehicle involved in the accident is rental.

  According to the relevant regulations of Shanghai’s online car-hailing, Shanghai insists on "Shanghai people, Shanghai cars". However, Li, who is not a Shanghai citizen, did not meet this condition and finally passed the platform review smoothly. In this regard, Didi said that because Li completed the registration before the introduction of the new policy of Shanghai’s online car-hailing, he passed the review at that time.

  The law enforcement corps of the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission said that "Didi" company failed to fulfill the main responsibility of the enterprise, did not compare and check the background data information according to regulations, did not clean up the non-compliant drivers and vehicles in place in time, and still sent orders for Li, a driver who did not have the qualifications of online car-hailing, in violation of the relevant provisions of the "Shanghai Municipal Measures for Investigating and Punishing Illegal Passenger Transport". The law enforcement department will impose a fine of more than 30,000 and less than 100,000 on the Didi platform according to law.

  Yesterday afternoon, the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission Law Enforcement Corps also launched an investigation into the rental company "Shanghai Shengpeng Car Rental Service Co., Ltd.", and investigated the specific circumstances in the contract and rental procedures of the rental company to lease the Shanghai GY7201 vehicle.

  In addition, the law enforcement department will also work with the public security department to investigate and collect evidence from the detained Li on September 4 on suspicion of "engaging in online car-hailing business activities without obtaining a business license or in disguise". According to the relevant provisions of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services, the party Li will also face a fine of more than 10,000 yuan and less than 30,000 yuan imposed by the traffic law enforcement department.

  Due to illegal passenger transportation, Didi was subject to maximum penalties by the Shanghai traffic management department

  Because of illegal passenger transportation, Didi has been interviewed many times by the Shanghai traffic management department and fined many times. But the effect seems to be limited.

  In 2015, when there were no relevant regulations for online car-hailing platforms nationwide, as a tentative measure, the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission issued Didi with the "Online Car-hailing Platform Business Qualification License", which became the first qualification license for a private car platform in China. However, this qualification certificate has a valid period of only one year and expires automatically in 2016. It will not be renewed.

  In 2016, the state issued the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services". On December 21 of the same year, Shanghai officially promulgated the "Several Provisions on the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services in Shanghai". Since December 26 of that year, Shanghai and district transportation administrative departments have officially accepted applications for licenses related to online car-hailing business services. However, Didi’s application for a business license in Shanghai has never been approved.

  In April this year, the reporter interviewed Ma Fei, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Administration. Ma Fei said that Didi has not yet obtained the online car-hailing license issued by the Shanghai traffic management department, mainly because some vehicles and drivers do not meet the existing regulations. The traffic management department has also interviewed Didi many times, and since 2015, Didi has been fined 8 times (100,000 yuan) for illegal passenger transportation.

  In Ma Fei’s view, according to existing laws and regulations, according to the characteristics of platform enterprises, relevant government management departments should form a joint force to establish a comprehensive supervision mechanism involving multiple departments. "It is necessary to strengthen the source supervision in the field of Internet transportation and travel, and implement the management main responsibility of platform enterprises." He suggested that the establishment of a cross-departmental joint punishment mechanism for dishonesty should be accelerated. "It is appropriate to take restrictive measures such as removing applications from the shelves and suspending or shutting down the services of their APPs in relevant service areas."
