Aren't You Afraid of Traffic Police When Buying Heavy Motorcycle Smuggled Vehicles?
2 Answers
Yes, you should be afraid. Heavy motorcycle smuggled vehicles do not have legal status, and once discovered, traffic police will directly impound the vehicle. Additional information: 1. The concept of smuggled vehicles: Smuggled vehicles refer to those that enter the domestic market illegally without paying relevant taxes and fees, typically priced 50% or more cheaper than legally imported models of the same type. According to national laws and regulations, China explicitly prohibits the import trade of used cars (second-hand vehicles) in any form, and purchasing smuggled vehicles entails legal liabilities. 2. Legal channels to purchase smuggled vehicles: Customs authorities conduct regular crackdowns on smuggled vehicles. If these seized vehicles are not processed, inventory will continue to accumulate. Therefore, they periodically auction off these impounded vehicles. Interested car owners can purchase luxury cars at relatively low prices through these auctions, which also provides the state with a good source of fiscal revenue.
I just talked to a friend about this. Buying smuggled heavy motorcycles is essentially dealing with contraband vehicles. Who wouldn’t be afraid of getting caught by traffic police? I once saw a guy riding a shiny, super-cool smuggled Ducati on the street, but within a week, he was pulled over by the cops. The bike was impounded on the spot, and he was fined thousands. His bike lacked proper import documentation, had fake plates, and insurance wouldn’t cover any claims—meaning he’d be fully liable in case of an accident. He regretted it deeply. Not to mention, if the bike’s quality is poor, safety is compromised, and riding it would be nerve-wracking. Nowadays, with surveillance cameras everywhere in the city, trying to dodge them? No chance. My advice? Buy through official channels. Spend a bit more, but drive with peace of mind for ten years—it’s worth it. Don’t fall for shady online deals promising small savings; cutting corners invites big trouble.
