能把機車禁了嗎?
2014年08月28日11:45
曾泰元(東吳大學英文系主任、林語堂故居執行長)
好萊塢的暑假強檔電影《露西》全球大賣,在台灣也受到熱捧,上映才短短一週,據說票
房就逼近兩億。
我們對《露西》如此關注,當然是因為90分鐘的影片有一半以上的台北場景,為台北做了
大規模的城市行銷。有人關注哪些台北的景點入了鏡,有人提到電影裡毒品、黑幫、仿冒
醜化了台灣,而我卻在片子裡看到了台北街頭無所不在的機車。這機車對導演盧貝松而言
,或許是個台北極具特色的城市景觀吧?
許多外籍觀光客初次來到台北,恐怕都會被這機車大軍嚇著,不止數量龐大,有些還在大
街小巷蛇行亂竄,上下班時重要路口「萬馬奔騰」的世界奇景,更是讓他們瞠目結舌。
這也難怪,根據交通部的統計,全台灣的機車總數超過1500萬輛,密度世界第一。地狹車
多,這樣特殊的景象也就不令人意外了。
日前看到兒子的朋友走路一跛一跛的,問他怎麼了,原來是騎機車出了車禍。他9月即將
升格為大學新鮮人,在他的要求下,媽媽給他買了一台機車代步,想不到騎著騎著就出了
車禍。
我在大學教書,發生過好幾例學生因車禍而請假,一問之下,都跟騎機車有關。我有部分
的學生騎機車上下學,某次好奇,做了個非正式的調查,發現騎車的十之八九都出過車禍
,沒騎車的問他們為什麼不騎,許多人都回答「危險」。這個調查當然不夠科學,卻也印
證了我和許多人的印象──騎機車很危險。
我們之中有自己騎機車的,也有家人親友騎機車的。騎機車的原因,不外乎機動性高,停
車方便,比買汽車便宜,然而根據相關單位所做的統計分析,騎機車發生車禍所造成的傷
亡數字,不止居高不下,而且還節節上升,讓人看了怵目驚心。
大學開學在即,對於即將跨入人生另一個階段的孩子,部分家長或許會選擇給他們買機車
,以作為獎勵。然而騎機車是肉包鐵,交通複雜,車速又快,稍有不慎,輕則受皮肉之傷
,重則殘廢隕命。
台灣機車的問題,有其社會的背景與歷史的淵源,至今難解。政府基於種種考量,只能溫
和處理,無法採取斧底抽薪之計,全面把機車給禁了,畢竟木已成舟,這龐大的機車族群
得罪不起。
美國有個非營利的民間組織MADD,為Mothers Against Drunk Driving(反酒駕母親聯盟
)的首字母縮寫。他們致力終結酒駕,卓然有成,成為美國社會一股不可忽視的重要力量
。
關心自己子女老公騎車安全的台灣媽媽們,或許也可考慮發起一個類似的組織,致力於不
騎機車,少騎機車,降低騎車風險,保障騎士的人身安全。
與其寄望政府,不如仰賴民間。
