Does Installing a Rearview Camera Count as Vehicle Modification?
1 Answers
Installing a rearview camera does not count as vehicle modification. Altering or replacing configurations and changing technical specifications constitute modifications, whereas adding a rearview camera is considered installing an auxiliary device. A rearview camera is also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or onboard monitoring system. Its English name is vehicle-backup-camera. This system is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. Additional information: 1. According to Article 21 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Before driving a motor vehicle on the road, the driver must carefully inspect the vehicle's safety and technical performance; it is prohibited to drive a motor vehicle with incomplete safety facilities or components that do not meet technical standards, posing safety hazards. 2. According to Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": If a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules, they shall be given a warning or fined between 20 and 200 yuan. In cases otherwise stipulated by this law, penalties shall be imposed according to the relevant provisions.
