Does Vehicle Deregistration Without Scrapping Affect the Owner?
3 Answers
Vehicle deregistration without scrapping does affect the owner. Below is the process for handling vehicle scrapping: Declaration: For vehicles that have reached mandatory national scrapping standards, the owner should bring the vehicle registration certificate, license plates, driving permit, and the original vehicle to an authorized motor vehicle recycling enterprise designated by the public security traffic management department. There, they must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Suspension, Resumption/De-registration Application Form." The recycling enterprise will confirm the vehicle's dismantling and issue the "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate" to the owner. Application: Within seven days after dismantling, the recycling enterprise must submit the "Motor Vehicle Suspension, Resumption/De-registration Application Form," vehicle registration certificate, license plates, driving permit, and a copy of the "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate" to the vehicle management office. Processing: The vehicle management office will issue the "Motor Vehicle De-registration Certificate" to the owner, who must then use this certificate to complete other related procedures such as canceling road maintenance fees, marking the completion of the scrapping process.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've seen too many car owners insist on driving without passing their annual inspection, only to suffer serious consequences. A car without an annual inspection means no safety guarantee – you might experience brake failure or a tire blowout while driving. If caught by the police, you could be fined hundreds on the spot, and they might deduct points or even revoke your license. Not scrapping the car is even worse – it just sits there collecting dust and rusting, taking up public parking spaces, annoying neighbors with complaints, and the authorities might tow it away and charge late fees. Your insurance also becomes invalid, meaning you'll have to pay out of pocket for any accidents. A former colleague of mine was lazy and didn't handle his car's inspection for two years – he was fined over a thousand and had his car towed to the scrapyard, getting nothing in return. Honestly, owning a car comes with responsibility. If your inspection is overdue, get it done quickly. If it's not possible, just scrap and recycle the car – it's eco-friendly and saves money. Why not do it?
We young people drive for convenience and saving money, but neglecting vehicle inspection and not scrapping old cars actually burns a hole in our pockets. Driving with an expired inspection invites fines and penalty points if caught, while leaving it parked leads to depreciation. Insurance renewal becomes more expensive or unavailable. If not scrapped, the car turns into worthless junk occupying space with no resale value, whereas recycling could fetch some scrap metal money - keeping it is pure waste. Last time my car missed inspection, I promptly scrapped it, saving monthly parking fees and neighbor complaints. Government-designated recycling centers make the process simple and efficient - manage your time well and it's hassle-free. Don't procrastinate until it becomes a major regret.
