It seems that food deliverymen(送货员) are always rushing in haste. We can always see them running every minute, and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets (头盔) and many of them don't follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones when they are driving.
However, not everything goes well with food deliverymen. In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes deliverymen so dangerous? The strict rules of the food delivery companies and the worried customers may be the answer. Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he can't deliver the food on time, reported China Daily Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.
To make sure that deliverymen drive safely, many cities in China asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice, then he cannot drive cars to send food for a whole year.
