How Long Before a Confiscated Motorcycle is Mandatorily Scrapped?
1 Answers
Motorcycles that have been confiscated for more than three months beyond the stipulated period will be mandatorily scrapped. According to Article 112 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' traffic management departments of public security authorities are required to issue a receipt on the spot when confiscating motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles and inform the concerned party to report to the traffic management department within the specified period for processing. The traffic management department must properly store the confiscated vehicles and refrain from using them. If the owner fails to claim the vehicle within the deadline and does not respond within three months after a public notice, the confiscated vehicle will be processed according to the law. Difference Between Recommended Scrapping and Mandatory Scrapping: Recommended scrapping suggests that the vehicle be scrapped, but if it still meets the requirements for continued use, scrapping can be avoided. Mandatory scrapping means the vehicle must, without exception, be scrapped. There are four criteria for mandatory scrapping: Reaching the prescribed service life; Failing to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles even after repairs and adjustments; Continuing to emit pollutants or noise that do not comply with national standards for in-use vehicles after repairs, adjustments, or the application of control technologies; Failing to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period.
