Does Electronic Capture Showing Excessive Tailpipe Emissions Result in Penalty Points?
1 Answers
Electronic capture showing excessive tailpipe emissions results in a deduction of three points, though this penalty is not uniformly applied across all regions. In third and fourth-tier cities, few areas enforce penalties for exceeding emission standards. In urban areas, when electronic monitoring detects excessive emissions, vehicle license plates, speed, and other information are immediately recorded. The concentrations of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the exhaust are measured within one second. For vehicles exceeding emission standards, the environmental protection department issues an on-site rectification notice. There are many reasons for excessive emissions, with the use of low-quality fuel being a significant factor. It is recommended to choose large, reputable gas stations when refueling, as low-quality fuel can lead to incomplete combustion in the engine, causing carbon buildup. A clogged three-way catalytic converter or faulty oxygen sensor can also contribute to excessive emissions. If the exhaust emits a particularly strong odor, it is advisable to visit a repair shop for inspection and timely resolution.
