It has become fashionable for "retirees" to get a driver's license and buy a car.

After visiting three 4S shops on Tanggu Road in our city, the reporter learned that the proportion of "retirees" over 60 years old this year has increased a lot compared with last year. On average, one in every six car buyers is a retiree, and more than 90% of them are men. "Old people who come to our store to buy cars generally have stable pensions or filial children with better economic conditions. Although they are white-haired, their mentality is very young. " Du, the manager in charge of sales in a store, said.

The reporter learned from a number of driving schools in this city that at present, more and more retirees over the age of 60 come to driving schools to sign up for driving, and they are consulting and signing up every day. Wang told reporters: "Because the age limit for driving license examination has been raised to 70, there are many older students aged 67 to 69 in driving schools who want to catch the last bus to realize their dreams when they were young." He said that the driving school has set up an "elderly driving class" in view of the special situation of more elderly people recently, and equipped this class with excellent coaches who are more caring and patient.

Mr. Jia, who is studying "reverse painting" in the police driving school, said in an interview: "I am 65 years old this year. I feel in good health and like traveling, so I want to get a driver's license and buy a car to take part in road trip. Isn't this a happy thing? If I can't drive in this life, I will feel a little sorry in this life, so I will try my best to board this last bus. "

In guye district Driver Testing Center, the reporter met Mr. Tian who just came out of the examination room. Tian teacher, 64, told reporters, "My theoretical exam was very successful, and I got 95 points at once. It's just that' putting the rod into storage' has encountered difficulties. I failed the exam three times in a row, and finally passed the fourth time smoothly. I took the exam for four months, and now I have passed it. The whole family is happy for me, just waiting to get a driver's license to buy a car. " "When I was not at home before, I would wait for my children to have empty children. Now that life is good and you have money, it is much more convenient to buy a car and leave. " Mr. Fang, 60, has just given his new car a good license plate, and his joy is beyond words.

The reporter learned from the second-hand motor vehicle trading market in our city that there are more elderly people buying second-hand cars now than before. Mr. Lu, who works in the used car market, said that the elderly generally buy used cars for two reasons. First, the price is cheap. Used cars that have only been used for three or four years are in good condition, but the price is only about 50% to 60% of that of new cars. Second, in order to "practice hands." There's no harm in buying a second-hand car, and it's not too late to change it to a new one after you practice your skills.

According to the analysis of insiders, the price is the first concern for the elderly to buy a car, followed by comfort and safety, as well as simple operation and fuel economy. Most of the "retired people" buy automatic transmission models with airbags with exhaust volume less than 1.6.

Relevant responsible comrades of the City Drivers Association reminded elderly friends that "retirees" should learn to drive according to their physical strength and health. For example, if your physical strength is not allowed, don't sign up just because you are interested, or you will give up halfway and spend thousands of dollars on tuition, but you can't pass the exam smoothly. There are many such examples. In addition, the elderly can't learn to drive fast like young people, so they should be mentally prepared for "one month, two months, three months" and "continuous fighting". Generally, "retirees" have to take three to five exams before they can pass the "inverted bar storage" exam. You have to pay hundreds of dollars for each exam and wait in line for about a month. This requires these "old urchins" to have firm perseverance and confidence to support, otherwise they will be defeated. In addition, after getting a driver's license to buy a car, the elderly don't have to rush to go alone. After all, driving school teaches knowledge, and theory is more than practice. Please ask children or friends who can drive to do "sparring", and then go on the road alone after a month of sparring, and the safety factor will be higher.
