The skills of the "native" have been forgotten, they dare not drive just after leaving driving school, and the road conditions are not proficient... Escort services should appear on demand, but there is no separate industry classification and training qualification certificate in the escort industry, and there are chaos such as many individual part-time jobs and inconsistent charging standards. In this regard, experts suggest that the development of the escort should be standardized by formulating qualification standards for accompanying personnel, rating relevant institutions, and consumer evaluation systems.
"Introducing vehicle performance, familiarizing yourself with urban road conditions, getting used to the correct driving style, and accompanying drivers is basically to help drivers exercise these." On April 4, on Tianjin's outer ring road west, coach Li Xin, from his hometown of Jingmen, Hubei Province, was concentrating on helping students pay attention to the surrounding traffic and road signals.
From driving schools to complex and crowded urban roads, many "native" or novice drivers who have not driven for a long time are difficult to adapt for a while, and some drivers are prone to quarrels and conflicts in the company of their families, and safety cannot be guaranteed in an emergency. This creates a demand for professional chauffeur services.
During the interview, the reporter found that at present, the driving industry has both driving school institutions providing special course services and individuals part-time engaged. Most of the personnel who are professionally engaged in escorting are attached to different institutional platforms, and the charging standards of different institutions vary greatly, and the norms of the escort industry are mainly based on institutional rules and regulations or social evaluation, and the overall lack of supervision.
"Benben" does not dare to go on the road Is it reliable to find an escort?
Engaged in driving-related work for 8 years, relying on skilled driving experience and serious and responsible teaching attitude, Li Xin, who graduated from high school, came out of a small mountain village and gradually took root in Tianjin. "Escort drivers require good skills, familiar road conditions, and being able to find students' weaknesses to help them get started quickly, and this industry attaches great importance to students' reputation." Li Xin told reporters, "I arranged appointments every morning, noon and evening, and often did not have time to eat halfway. It's not easy to make money in the escort industry. ”
In order to understand the actual teaching content of escort driving, in early April, the reporter conducted a driving experience at a driving training school in Beijing. If you decide to use the vehicle provided by the driving school, the first experience price is 4 yuan/280.2 hours. If you choose a self-use car, the price varies greatly depending on the vehicle.
In the afternoon of the same day, the escort Coach Liu arrived at the agreed place, and the reporter showed his driver's license and signed the escort contract provided by the coach and started the timekeeping.
"When learning to drive in driving schools, learn more theories, especially some people memorize tips and mark points in order to pass the test, the driver's license is tested, but when you change a car on the road, you won't drive." Engaged in driving training for 6 years, Coach Liu has led nearly 500 students, most of whom are newbies who have just come out of driving school.
Starting from the entrance of the community, driving around the third ring road according to the coach's command, Coach Liu introduced the traffic signs along the road while prompting reporters how to safely change lanes, overtake and other operations. "The first time to accompany the driver mainly to understand your driving level, and then you can propose the items you want to practice according to your needs, such as reversing into the garage or going down the basement, etc., most of the trainees can be proficient on the road after receiving about 10 hours of practical operation." The course ended after Coach Liu summarized the problems and improvement methods in driving.
After the experience, the reporter found that for the untraveled road has more courage to drive, the secondary brake installed by the professional escort vehicle can ensure the safety of the driver in an emergency.
Recruitment demand is hot and personal part-time jobs are increasing
The reporter checked the recruitment notice about the escort coach on the Internet and found that the demand for escort recruitment is mainly in large cities, and the recruitment needs announced by Beijing and Shanghai exceed 1,6350. In terms of salary, first-tier cities can reach about 3,5 yuan per month, and the national average monthly income is <>,<> yuan. Most of the recruitment of escort instructors is not limited to academic qualifications and gender, but the requirements for driving experience are generally more than <>~<> years.
"The salary adopts a pure commission system, generally ranging from 6000,1 yuan ~ 3,<> yuan, and the work is distributed according to the nearest residence. The recruitment of escort coaches mainly depends on whether the driving experience qualification conditions are enough, but also have a certain communication and expression ability, do this industry has time to receive more orders. The customer service of a Beijing car rental company told reporters.
During the interview, the reporter also saw a lot of personal escort information on multiple platforms. Individual chauffeurs generally announce their service areas, provide services on weekday evenings and weekends, the price is significantly lower than that of escort agencies, and most personal escorts are part-time.
The reporter contacted a Guo coach located in Shenzhen, he said that the main reason for being an escort is to be confident in his driving skills and experience, and he has been engaged in online car hailing and substitute driving, and wants to use part-time chauffeurs to increase some income. "Personal escort requires students to bring their own vehicles, high-speed fees and fuel costs, so the price of my orders is also very low, the lowest is 20 yuan per hour."
Most of the personal escorts do not have a coach certificate and institutional endorsement, and the evaluation is all based on word of mouth. The reporter saw from these released information that some personal escorts have only about 2~3 years of driving experience, which does not meet the requirements of most institutions to recruit escort coaches, and can only be engaged in part-time by individuals.
There is no separate industry classification, and the standardized development must be multi-faceted
Since there is currently no relevant training qualification certificate for the profession of "car escort", escort practitioners generally certify their escort instructor qualifications by obtaining a motor vehicle instructor qualification certificate or institutions self-assessment, while most of their part-time jobs only have driving licenses.
So how to judge whether an individual has the qualification to accompany teaching? Zheng Xiang, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University Law School, believes that "strictly speaking, it should be based on whether he has the qualification of a coach. Escorts are essentially driving operation instructors and should meet the relevant requirements in the Administrative Provisions on Motor Vehicle Driver Training. ”
In addition, novices are prone to bumps or traffic violations on the road, and if traffic accidents or violations occur during the escort process, disputes between the instructor and the trainees often occur.
"From the perspective of traffic enforcement, because theoretically the person driving the vehicle should be the driver who has obtained a driver's license, then he should bear full responsibility for driving on the road. If it is a modified vehicle, the escort coach can actually control the vehicle by pressing the brakes, controlling the steering wheel, etc., and the accompanying coach shall bear supplementary responsibility or joint liability with the driver after considering the specific situation. Zheng Xiang told reporters.
Regarding the situation that some institutions said that any accident and collision during the teaching period have nothing to do with the trainees, and they can also sign exemption agreements, Zheng Xiang said that the exemption agreement signed by the escort agency is a civil agreement and cannot violate the mandatory provisions of the Traffic Administrative Law. However, after the driver actually assumes responsibility, he may require the accompanying agency to bear responsibility according to the agreement.
At present, from the perspective of industry classification, there is no separate industry classification to which the escort coach belongs, and the supervision of the escort industry is mainly based on institutional self-discipline and social evaluation. Regarding how to further improve the development of the escort industry, Zheng Xiang believes: "The improvement of service quality, in addition to being regulated through market rules such as brand effect and consumer reputation, should also regulate its development by formulating qualification standards for escorts, rating relevant institutions, consumer evaluation systems and other measures." ”
