Let me rephrase:

The rich will be allowed to drive.  The commoners need to get off the street so the rich are not bothered by the little people getting in their way.  In a so-called "Communist" country no less.  Power to the proletariat.  <not>
Yes Comrade, we are all equal, but some of us are more equal than others! 
You little people with the motorcycles!  Get off the road!
