Can a vehicle under seizure status be driven on the road?

A vehicle seized by the court can still be driven normally on the road. Here is the relevant information: 1. Sale: It can be driven but cannot be sold, mortgaged, or used for other purposes. If sale or mortgage is indeed necessary, court approval must be obtained, and the seizure must be lifted before proceeding. Otherwise, unauthorized sale will result in legal consequences. 2. Legal basis: Article 244 of the Civil Procedure Law states that if the person subject to execution fails to fulfill the obligations specified in the legal document as per the execution notice, the People's Court has the authority to seize, detain, freeze, auction, or sell the property of the person subject to execution that should be used to fulfill the obligations. However, the necessities of life for the person subject to execution and their dependents should be preserved. The People's Court shall issue a ruling before taking the aforementioned measures.

Let me share some insights from my decades of driving experience. A car under seizure status must not be moved. If the police or court has placed a seal on it, it means there’s an issue—like unpaid debts or unresolved violations. I once saw a neighbor whose car was seized due to unpaid loans. He secretly drove it to work, only to be stopped by traffic police on the road. The car was towed immediately, and he was fined heavily. This is no joke—driving it on the road is illegal and will only worsen the situation. My advice is to first clarify the reason for the seizure and resolve it through official channels like the court or DMV. Only drive it after it’s officially released. Also, don’t forget to regularly check your vehicle’s status—you can use a traffic police app to stay updated and avoid unknowingly getting into trouble. In short, safety first—don’t take risks.

From the perspective of driving safety, driving a seized vehicle is extremely dangerous. Vehicles are usually seized due to major issues such as debt disputes or traffic violations, and insurance is likely invalid when driving them. In case of an accident, you would be fully responsible for compensation. Additionally, traffic police conduct strict inspections, and surveillance cameras can easily expose the violation. Consequences range from vehicle impoundment and fines to license suspension and a tarnished record. I recommend parking the vehicle immediately and contacting the relevant authorities to confirm its status. Make it a habit to check for any seizure notices on your vehicle quarterly and address issues promptly. Remember, driving legally is key to protecting both your safety and that of others.

I understand your confusion, but legally this is absolutely prohibited. Driving an impounded vehicle is illegal because it's under compulsory restriction. Taking it out would be considered defiance of law enforcement, with consequences including vehicle seizure, hefty fines, or even criminal liability. I know someone who ignored this—their car got towed and they ended up on a credit blacklist. My advice is to immediately visit the DMV or court to address the issue—don't wait for trouble. Checking your vehicle's status is simple: just use a transportation service app on your phone—it takes minutes. Don't risk major loss for minor gain.
