Scrapped vehicles require handling of traffic violations. Below is a detailed introduction to the procedures needed for vehicle scrapping: 1. Copy of resident ID card or copy of enterprise organization code certificate with official seal. 2. Vehicle registration certificate. 3. Vehicle license. 4. License plate. 5. Settle all traffic violations and accidents involving the vehicle first. 6. The vehicle owner applying for scrapping must fill out the Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping. 7. After verifying the "Notification," the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos, then proceed with residual value settlement.

When I first started driving, I was also clueless. I drove a car to scrap without remembering there was an unpaid red-light ticket. When I went to handle the scrapping procedures, I got stuck there. The staff said I had to deal with the violation first. I had to rush back to pay the fine, wasting a whole afternoon. I was so anxious, almost missing other arrangements. Actually, these records are tied to the car owner—if not cleared, they follow you like a debt. Later, I heard that in some places, the system accumulates fines or affects future car purchases, like getting rejected for new car registration. So before scrapping, always check for any violation records and clear them at the DMV or on your phone to avoid hassle later.

When I'm busy with work, I tend to forget everything. Last time when dealing with a scrapped car, I stumbled. I thought once the car was discarded, everything would be fine, but those traffic violations were still waiting for me to clean up. I went to the scrapyard, and they required a no-violation certificate to process it. Luckily, I checked in time and found an unpaid speeding ticket, so I quickly paid it online. Otherwise, it could hinder future procedures like buying insurance or a new car. For example, a friend had an experience where the fine increased and wasted time dealing with it. It's advisable to regularly check the app for queries and quickly settle any outstanding payments at the vehicle management office before scrapping. Don't delay paying what's due.

When I first got my driver's license, I knew nothing about these rules. If traffic violations on a scrapped vehicle aren't cleared, the tickets will remain under the owner's name. This could delay the scrapping process or cause bigger issues when purchasing a new car later. I haven't personally experienced severe cases, but fellow car enthusiasts mentioned that delayed fines can double. Simply put, check your records and pay any outstanding fines before scrapping—that settles it.
