Do I need to clear traffic violations before scrapping my vehicle?

[VanAlexa]

Vehicle scrapping requires clearing traffic violations. For motor vehicles that have reached the scrapping period, after following the guided scrapping process, the driver must settle all outstanding traffic violations before the vehicle's deregistration can be completed. Otherwise, it may affect the owner's credit score and have implications for future life. According to relevant regulations, after completing the transfer or deregistration of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. This means that the license plate can be permanently retained after the vehicle is scrapped, but all traffic violations and accidents related to the original vehicle must be resolved.
