Impossible. Sidecar motorcycles are no longer in production. Without being scrapped, they can pass annual inspections and obtain licenses for road use. However, sidecar motorcycles that have exceeded their scrapping period cannot be licensed or driven on the road. According to Article 70 of the "Measures for the Registration of Motor Vehicles of the People's Republic of China," violations of Article 64, Paragraph 1, involving the forgery of motor vehicle license plates, motor vehicle driving licenses, or motor vehicle registration certificates, shall be penalized as stipulated. If not for profit, the forged motor vehicle license plates, motor vehicle driving licenses, or motor vehicle registration certificates shall be confiscated, and a fine of 1,000 yuan shall be imposed.
